Thanks for posting, Scott. On a different note, I got an email today from UNC confirming that my $500 enrollment deposit was posted to my account. I'm guessing that those who have sent in their checks will get a similar note soon--or at least see their checks clear.

I'm curious as to what you all think of Carolina's decision to go to the UAE for the Global Immersion Elective. Has anyone here traveled there before? I'm glad to see it has been moved to the spring--which should mean that the GIE won't interfere with recruiting...

UAE? I didn't see that. I've NEVER been to that part of the world. Should be very exciting.

I have spent a good amount of time in the Middle East but never in the UAE. When did you hear about their decision? I knew that it was going to be in the Spring but I heard that they were thinking of going to South Africa again. While I would have enjoyed that opportunity as well, I had noticed that they had not traveled to anywhere in the Middle East for the GIE. I will be interested to see how many people will choose to attend with it being so late in the year. I'm definitely interested.

I see it now. They snuck the information into the GIE description. I hope that they decide to go to multiple countries in the region and not just the UAE. I haven't seen anything about my check yet but I guess it will arrive soon.

You can find the GIE listed under the "Curriculum" tab on the admitted students page. The UAE is listed there. One of my college roommates was from Pakistan, and raved about the UAE--specifically Dubai. I'm interested too, barring any major deterioration in the area.

Guys,

Any luck on the housing front ?

Also, I am planning to do some prep work from Becker's CPA books, i guess Becker's is one of the leading CPA coaching classes.

Anyone got any views on the same ? (i have 2.5 years of experience as a M&A analyst -- but almost zero accounting knowledge).

I hope I'm not the only one who has enjoyed bandwagoning UNC basketball. I'm already learning how to properly hate Duke. Austin Rivers trained at the gym for my undergrad... to see him rip my heart out like that was pretty painful. My school couldn't care less about sports, it will be nice to go to a school that is passionate about them. Can't wait to get moved in and started.

I grew up a Maryland fan so I don't think I'll ever be a true Tar Heel, but hey, at least hating Duke comes naturally to me

Hi everyone. Thanks for the information on Sunstone Apartments, Scott, they look really nice and the location sounds great. Is anyone else looking for a roommate? I'm a female, but I don't really care either way to live with a guy or a girl. Are you guys replying to the roommate spreadsheet or are you contacting people on your own?

2012 class schedule is posted, looks like a busy summer!

I'm guessing you figured it out already, but in case you didn't, follow this link:

https://pid.unc.edu/PIDLookup.aspx

dailyomnivore, I'm not actively looking for a roommate right now, but I wouldn't mind having one. I'll be bringing a car so that might be a plus. what is this spreadsheet you're referring to?

Upon admission, one of the forms you could send in was the roommate-interest form or something like that. Just some basic info that they said they would have up by March 1st. Maybe it's up early?

UNC PID - I got mine from the admissions department.

Guys -- The Week starting May 14th 2012 -- IS NOT for our batch (i.e. class of 2013)

Class of 2013 has its mandatory summer orientation on the 18th of May 2012 (Saturday) and classes begin on the 20th of May (Monday)

The timetable given on the MAC website is for the class of 2012 - its a review course for the CPA examination.

@ dailyomnivore

I am looking for a flatmate and I have filled up the roommate form.

Like Visirale said, the roommate spreadsheet is on the MAC Admitted Students website under Roommates and Housing. They say the list should be posted March 1.

@ronnycpa13 and @ugen64: Right now I'm looking at sharing a two bedroom/two bathroom apartment at SunStone Apartments after Scott's tip. It's within walking/biking distance to campus and it's affordable. If either of you are interested in looking into it feel free to private message me!

Hey yall.

My name is Chris and I will be attending the UNC MAC Program starting in May. I was actually a UNC undergrad (graduated in December) so I know the ins and outs of Chapel Hill already. I already sent in the acceptance check and I have all the FAFSA forms filled out so I guess my next step is the Supplemental Application. Does anyone know how we find out what classes to take? So far I feel like this is very unorganized. It actually reminds me a lot of my undergraduate career here.

Hey Chris,

Guess you could be a big help to all of us regarding housing and much more.

Which class do you wish to take ? -- Are you inclined towards taxation or auditing ?
