Requested status and the grad coordinator told me I have been admitted. Funding decision to come in 2 to 3 weeks. I thank God.

Interview weekend is Feb 27th

First round of offers are going out, 5 people waitlisted, will be offered positions from the one's that declined. Will know more by the end of April.

No funding had a 2.2GPA in Undergrad

Rejected as the semester starts. Ghosted outside of this contact even after I asked in march for an update. The portal says “we have denied your request for admission.” Absolute joke…

GRE and TOEFL waived.

I genuinely don't know what went wrong. I was led on by a potential advisor. Really sucks

I received an email prompting me to check the portal.

please please please... I really need the offer from UNC, this means a lot to me. If you have the dominant offer, please leave the chance for me! Wish you all the luck to get better offer😭

This is my last chance and UNC is my top choice. Please decline the offer if you got dominant offer. I really appreciate your efforts.

if your not going can you please inform them, this is my dream school

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."

Two virtual interviews with faculty. Emailed "informal" acceptance, then received notification on applicant portal a few days later.
