You can't on the supplemental application website....and they won't accept update letters via email either. That's what they told us on my interview day. The only time you can "update" them is during your interview, if you make it that far.
Well congrats 🙂 Makes for an extra thankful thanksgiving holiday!!! haha
Too soon....
UNC does a pretty heavy screen for secondaries. Especially for out of state applicants.
Had the same issue still today when I tried. Emailed them as well.
From Ms. Reid in the Admissions Office:
Yes, at some point. Mine came early last week, I think.
Do you mean the copy of the filled out application? If so, I didn't get mine either after I filled it out.
I haven't interviewed yet but I received it.
Doubt it. I got one last year and I didn't get accepted, and I received my residency application form last week.
Hmmmm should I call the admissions office about this? I am in-state and I didn't receive anything last week.
If you're absolutely sure that you didn't receive it, then I would call them.
I am absolutely sure. I've checked my inbox multiple times. I don't even know what the title of the email is supposed to say.
I think it's something along the lines of "UNC School of medicine online residency form" from Ms. Reid. Nothing in your spam folder either?
Nope. I have deleted my spam folder every single day, and I have never once encountered any email with this title.
Don't sweat it, yet. ALL IS applicants are going to receive it at some point. Last year Ms. Reid sent an email out to all of us (including those not accepted) and said it was a state law requirement for them to get applicant residency information. I'm paraphrasing the email; point being, don't stress about the residency form. It is not an indication of a good thing or a bad one (according to what she said last year).
Alright, thanks. I'm just really tired of UNC not telling me anything after I interivewed way back in early September. I'm hoping I'm not part of the first wave of mass rejections coming up this month. :/
First wave of post-interview rejections went out in mid-December, I believe.
LOL but UNC is still a top-ranked, highly regarded program anyway.
I KNOW, and I'm so thrilled and grateful... But dishonor on my family anyway, lols.
That's...pretty humorous.
+1 minus the drinking part
The only fun part of waiting. You should try it
Lol I do drink socially. Just haven't been that much lately due to working all the time.The only fun part of waiting. You should try it
They just sent out an updated link. Did you receive it now?
Nope, still nothing. I definitely marked myself as in-state on everything (primary, secondary, attended interview on a Wednesday which is IS only).
The actual interview days don't really mean much (I attended an OOS interview day last year, and this year there was an OOS applicant on the IS day that I attended). I would call the office to make sure they have you on file as an IS.
This is getting ridiculous. How do they overlook that I marked "North Carolina" as my state of residence on my AMCAS and marked "I am applying as a NC resident" on the secondary and I told my adcom interviewer that I am from a town in NC they've heard of? At least tomorrow morning I can call them since it's not the weekend yet. And I would not meet the stellar OOS applicant criteria needed to get an OOS interview, so it's not because of that hopefully.
I was half-joking about the IS/OOS part. More than likely some clerical error was made somewhere.
Do you think if they thought I was OOS the whole time after my interview, that they did not review or discuss my application at committee meetings at all? I've only heard of IS'ers getting accepted so far.
You were able to apply and interview at Brody. There's no way UNC should think that you're OOS. And if they do think that, it shouldn't have any bearing on when you get discussed. Think about it, OOS applicants are less likely to matriculate to UNC after acceptance than IS applicants, so it would be to the admission committee's advantage to get those offers out sooner rather than later. While I don't necessarily think that they explicitly think like that, it reinforces my point that your residence probably wouldn't have much of a bearing on when your application is put up for discussion.
Okay, that makes sense. I wanted to also ask the admissions office about my application status, but I guess that's crossing the line.
