My score improved by 3 points only but I have had another updates on co-curricall , projects and community service. I also had a student endorsed me

I am not sure if I was stupid enough who waited so long to submit an update(GRE report takes 10-12 days after test) or was it abrupt of UNC to reject me

Anyhow emailed them telling this thing

In round 2, they did rejections first. So longer it goes, less likely that is the case

Congrats to everyone who got their admits guys. Happy for you all

QuabityAssurance, what portal is this again? Please bear with me, I’m struggling to figure out where are the decisions getting updated.
