UNC Chapel Hill took a long time to release even their first decisions. Glad its all over now.

Email to check portal where I found the rejection letter.

Email about update and it says regret to inform you..

Waitlist closed.

This process took six weeks.

IR Subfield. Acceptance after being waitlisted. To everyone still on the waitlists, stay strong! You still have a chance!

Sending an email to ask about any updates, they say you are on the waiting list since you haven't received any decision. Unlikely they may not admit anyone from the list due to funding problems. Master of Material Science and Engineering at EPFL, GPA: 5.67/6, Several conference articles, teaching and industrial experience, Polymer track

GPA is MA. Email to check portal. Saw it coming, but I wish they didn't take so long to let us know.

Email to check the portal for decision. Saw this one coming since it took so long but still super bummed :(

Called, then emailed inquiring about application status. Response stated that if I have not received an acceptance or denial, I am on the waitlist, and that it is unlikely they will admit anyone off the waitlist due to the federal funding uncertainty. 3+ years undergraduate research experience, multiple ACS presentations, studied abroad, lab aide, help session leader, tutor

- IIT B.Tech Graduate in Metallurgical Engineering with 3+ years of experience as a Software Developer - 2 undergraduate research papers as 1st author (one on image analysis and another on solidification modeling - both related to metallurgy with decent programming involved) - My SOP was around my research papers and job experience

A brand spanking new program, but the same tired lie of a rejection letter, prattling on about a high number of applicants every year. the AUDACITY, the GALL. Anyway 2a / 0w / 15r / 3p

Research Assistant, 2 jobs, 3 different orgs, published research, shadowing experience, 100+ hours of volunteering experience, don't even bother to waste the 300$ on the application fee when they won't bother to send you the rejection letter over a month after the cohort is set. UNC's response alone is very telling about how they run things at their institution. If you don't have a 4.0, honors college, or study abroad experiences, don't bother and I'm so serious! Trust, save yourself money and apply to other schools, where you can earn the same degree and possibly make more.

Notified by email to check portal. Did not interview.
