Anyone hear anything from Wake yet?
I just received my email from Wake: Waitlist
When they say to respond "in writing" do they mean traditional mail or is email an accepted form? I'd like to send them a letter asap, but would like to know first. Given that they sent the decision via email, I would *think* email (even with an attachment) would be acceptable, but what does everyone else think?
Hey any current or previous UNC or Wake acceptees...any idea if either/both provides some sort of network for trying to work out housing for next year. I want to start looking for options early next semester before they are all gone to undergrads, but it's tough to commit to something like a house without knowing that you can find housemates to live there with you. And I know that I personally would really only like to live with other med school students. Or if a current student sees this, maybe they could let us know how they worked things out. Thanks. Later yall!

UNC doesn't really offer on campus housing for grad students. There's PLENTY of cheap housing in chapel hill though. Plus, with a free bus system, its really easy to get to campus. Check out my link on the UNC Class thread, there's a pretty significant list of apartment complexes in chapel hill. When I was looking for an apt. last year, i started with that list, just calling around, then went to visit all the places in my price range.
EDIT: I take that back, UNC does allow grads to live in Odom Village, which is an absolute $hit hole that you'll pay top dollar for. Definitely need to go off campus!
At my interview, I believe that there were 6 of us.
For those of you who called Wake Forest in hopes of an interview, how long after you were complete did you call? (I have been complete since around 12/10, and was wondering if I should call early next week)
Anyone who get into UNC get a call from Lisa Long? She left a message when I was out of the country, and I can't wait for Tuesday to call back... I hope she's not calling about something trivial. I'll cry. AAH. 😱 😱
I did!Did you get any good news from Lisa? I bet that wait was tough!
I did!
*Stoked* 🙂
Well congratulations and happy new year!
Does anyone else feel like every Monday since interviewing at UNC has been a National Holiday? Will the adcom ever meet again???
ARGH! Just my luck 🙂
I feel exactly the same as you.... AHHHH!
Does anyone know how you find out decisions on residency status for UNC and ECU?
only 20 OOS students matriculate at UNC every year, but i'm sure they accept more than that, since they obviously aren't gonna have a 100% retention rate
So is it next Monday(1/22) when UNC adcoms meet? or would it be 1/29 now?
It's actually a bit fewer than 20. 20 is the maximum they are allowed to matriculate (by NC General Assembly mandate), but last year they only matriculated 17. They give out around 100 OOS interviews to attempt to matriculate 20 overall. I would venture to guess they accept something like 40 (if not more).
