Generic rejection email.

12/14 Interview Invitation, 1/6 Interview I got the email that "A Status Change to your application" and I checked my acceptance via the link.

Email leads to results on the web page.

Got an email telling to me check the portal. It said I was admitted but funding wouldbe considered separatley. Based on their website 90% of the students for the current year are funded. Does anybody know how funding works at UNC? I would appreciated any feedback from current students.

Emailed director of admission. Admitted to MS and waitlisted fro PhD. Anyone know the chances of getting off of the waitlist for UNC?

No interview.

4.0 grad GPA, Two semesters of research experience (one in undergrad and one in my master's program) but no publications. My strongest LOR was also from a professor who recently graduated from the same program, so I think that really helped as well.
