Second the post below, although I don't really care about unc right now coz I've got better offers. I heard they don't really send rejection letters?......

I haven't heard anything from this program. What is going on? No offer no rejection..

Not interviewed. E-mail notification to check portal.

They sent a nice letter, but explained they were unable to accept many people due to Covid budget cuts. Not sure how realistic it is to expect to get off the waitlist.

Interviewed 2/4-2/5

Accepted today after previously being on the waitlist since 1/21/21

Please, ignore "waitlisted". Has someone received news of North Carolina at Chapel Hill?

I know acceptances went out yesterday. Asked prof what my status is. I "remain an alternate". Have no idea what that means. For all I know, we could all be alternates. Don't want to probe again to see where on the list I stand. I imagine if I were first on the list though she would have specified that. Not comfortable sharing PI initials. It appears most if not all acceptance offers have gone out.

TPB: I'm doing second round interviews with faculty members in a particular field of interest this week. Don't have too much hope on this one if you didn't receive the first round. They will only move down to you if not enough interviewed candidates accept their offers, which is rare.

no interview

two mid author papers, two first-author submitted, three-year research experience no interview and rejected. what a shame!
