Are parents supposed to come to second look?

Last year it was accepted students only, no family. So I would assume same for this year.

Significant others?

Again, based on last year no. They specifically said in our email that it was applicants only and that family and SO's could see campus at white coat. Not sure if it would change for this year.

Don't think I've ever been so excited for Monday to come...I drank out of the old well today. Maybe it'll be my lucky week.

Still have never had a 4.0 after drinking out of the old well

had a mini panic attack because I thought the university might be closed for president's day. it's not. *deep breaths*
 
Does anyone know the method to their madness for OOS applicants? Interviewed in Dec and patiently waiting!
 
They should be sending out a batch of acceptances tomorrow, right?
I was under the assumption that acceptances don't really go out in batches and it was just whenever your committee felt like contacting you after they met... :/

Yeah, but they meet every other Monday and they usually contact people on Tuesday from what I've seen
 
Got a call from a 919 number this morning but they didn't leave a voicemail. Darn

Anyone who interviewed around Nov 20th hear back yet? Any IS post-interview rejections yet?

That just happened to me... hahah
To make matters worse, I'm doing this community outreach event that requires people to call my number so there are a bunch of 919s... it's the worst. I interviewed beginning of Feb so I doubt I'd hear anytime soon.. ?

well it wasn't a holiday or an inservice or anything....i looked on their academic calendar. But I guess they could have decided not to meet because people may have taken off for it? I'm not sure.

Been passed over so many times after my interview at this point... :( Wish they'd just go ahead and end it already haha... the limbo is the worst
 
Does everyone who is waiting have information only regarding their secondary fee being received on the "portal"? That's the supplemental application link from what I've heard. I only have an activity saying that I sent in the secondary fee. I know that other schools will display II extended, interview attended, etc on these types of timelines.

My portal only changed from secondary fee paid to accepted a few days after I got the call. I don't think they use the portal for much. :/

Man I hope so - the suspense is killing me. It doesn't help that UNC is (and always has been) my #1 choice med school. Being this close to a decision (one way or the other) is tough!

My number 1 choice as well! I'm very settled in after years of NC with some dogs I'm hoping I won't have to split up between my gf and me.

Still one more round at least so keep your chin up!

Just interviewed. Definitely my first choice by far.

They said the committee just met so we wont hear back for a bit. They meet twice a month but perhaps spring break will delay this further? They said they still have spots open.

Definitely. Like you guys, we're also pretty settled here. We've been in NC on/off for going on 15 years. Our oldest kids were born here and we've owned our home since before the housing market crash. While I'm not opposed to moving for medical school if necessary (we're blessed to have some excellent out of state options), we really want to stay home too, if possible!

I feel you! The anticipation is the worst part. We just have to try and keep ourselves busy and chillax while the committee decides. UNC was my #1 choice for undergrad and remains my #1 choice for med school. We're all in this together!
