- Notes
- I initially emailed their department on March 5th, not seeing anywhere on the portal to check for updates. They gave a kind enough response: "I can tell you that while our list of admits is not finalized, we are very unlikely to offer you a spot." On March 27th, received an update to the portal: "On behalf of The Graduate School at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I offer my sincere appreciation for your demonstrated interest in pursuing graduate studies at the University. Your application for admission has now been reviewed by the faculty of English and Comparative Literature. With regret, I must inform you that it will not be possible to offer you admission to the English and Comparative Literature program. The UNC-Chapel Hill Graduate School receives a large number of high-quality applications each year, making admittance to The Graduate School an especially competitive process. Many factors inform our admission process, including scholastic performance, test scores, letters of recommendation, anticipated certifications, special aptitudes and coursework, background in the proposed area of study, and relevant experience. Faculty members also consider how well our program may fit the applicant's particular research objectives and professional interests. Please know that we very much appreciate the time and effort you put into the materials you submitted, as well as the opportunity you gave us to consider your application. I wish you much success in your future academic endeavors."
