Hi!
Your professional area of interest at the time of application is a personal choice. We always recommend that applicant's use both the VMCAS personal statement prompt #1 and the NC State supplemental essays to support the response provided.
Where can you find this? It doesn’t look familiar to me...
Never mind, I found it haha... yeah, it’s strange. All my evaluators are on there multiple times, with the first time saying “not received” and the rest saying “received.” Very odd...
According to the timeline on their website, today is the day that RoCs for IS are scheduled to start coming out. Given the ~15 day delay from this timeline in their supplemental application deadline, I would imagine they may delay RoCs because they have a huge amount of applications that, by the looks of their final update posts, were submitted on the last day (9/30). Hopefully, this eases your anxiety or worry a bit.
I received my IS receipt this morning as well!
It depends on the timing of our review cycle. Ideally, it will be used for both.
Our Student Information System is designed to receive updates from RDS directly. However, if you want, you can send confirmation to: [email protected]
I already know I’m going to submit mine last minute so I can maximize the experience I can put on it! It’s totally terrifying that it’s opening so soon but hopefully having more time to start it will make it less stressful.
The problem I see with it is that now people will be thinking "I should be working on my app" with everything else they are doing and those thoughts creep into every moment of life until deadline. It is exhausting to have that weight for so long. I don't think more time is going to help anything and will cause more strife than good just do to the mental game behind it.
It is highly recommended to apply at least one month before the deadline. It gives an applicant time to rectify any issues with the submission of LORs, transcripts and GRE scores. If you wait until the deadline, there is no time to resolve problems.
I received mine 10/21 and they recently sent and email saying they hope to send out emails to non-residents about decisions by the end of December. I feel like you should have gotten a receipt of credentials email already.
The receipt of credentials e-mail was sent on October 21. The Student Services Office completed the initial review of OOS applications last week. If an applicant didn't meet admissions criteria, he or she received an e-mail disqualifying them from the 2020 cycle. If an applicant did meet admissions criteria, the application was moved forward to the next stage of review without e-mail correspondence to the OOS applicant pool.
Also confused about this email, but for a different reason. They said decisions (deny or interview invite) would go out by the end of December, but the Welcome weekend is for accepted or waitlisted OOS students. Are they going to have interviews concluded and decisions made within less than 3 weeks? Seems off.
NC State doesn't conduct interviews in the admissions process.
So that leaves from the 26 - 31?
This is cruel 😆
Can you tell us anything else on when we should hear back?
it really helps with the stress of the application cycle
The university is open on December 30 and 31.
