I believe they will be changing this year due to them being the same the past few cycles and past trends.
Are you OOS or IS? I'm OOS and know UNC is not the most IS friendly but would still love to go here.
I'm IS. You're right, its pretty difficult to get in OOS, but it makes a big difference if you have a connection to NC. For most people, I think that's usually going to college here (but not technically meeting residency requirements) or having family here, but I'm sure there are others as well. Still definitely worth a try
Good luck!no OOS secondary yet
No IS secondary either, don't think they've gone out yet...no OOS secondary yet
Same! I was ready to submit right away *if* the prompts stayed the same. Disappointed.
Lol such a killer, I was kind of struggling with their diversity question from past years, so I am happy they went about it in a way that is a little easier to write, but still lmao.Same! I was ready to submit right away *if* the prompts stayed the same. Disappointed.
The prompt is all in plural, so I'd advise including more than one. You can obviously emphasize one over the others, but probably include more than one if you can.
Just submitted, mine says this too
I think they intentionally wrote it in an ambiguous way to see different ways people answer the question. I think both of the options you mentioned could work as well as some others. Write what feels like the right answer for you.
are there MSTP specific prompts?
Only to rank your top 3 areas of interest and a spot to list 5 faculty.
Pre screen as in consider IS and OOS apps separately or pre screen as in review the apps before deciding who gets a secondary?
I feel you. Hopefully, your boss doesn't know about med school shenanigans. I will loose my job in few months if they know my plans.
The 2 week thing is a general guideline. 3 weeks is hard and fast. Ultimately they don't care much between 2 and 3 weeks as long as you meet the deadline.
Did this ever get changed for you? I just submitted mine and it says the same thing.
Mine says "Awaiting Decision" and I submitted Aug 1 if that's any help?
Yes, Mine eventually changed to "Awaiting Decision"
Hi I'm also a FAP applicant. For UNC Chapel Hill you have to select the "I want to be considered for a fee waiver" I think it's on the first page of the app I don't remember though. And then they internally decide if you are granted that waiver or not. I submitted my secondary on 07/30/2021 and was emailed that my waiver was approved on 8/4/2021.
Hi, I am also a FAP app! Your portal status is the same as mine was initially. I submitted Thurs 7/22, then received the "complete" email and FAP-approval confirmation email on Thurs 7/29. I don't recall the corresponding portal changes, but ultimately mine now says "awaiting decision."
