Apparently they withheld a lot of applications because they didnt want to reject tons of people at once. He noted in his email that he understands that applications take a lot of time and effort, and yet he spelled my first name wrong (very common American name) and had at least two typos in the body text. Apparently the time needed to put together an application on our part does not warrant the time necessary to proofread an email on theirs.

Accepted 3 weeks after submittal. Still awaiting financial aid/scholarship info.

Same as the post a couple spots below. Nice email saying my application was 'impressive', though obviously not so impressive that they actually want me. :/ Postal letter to follow.

Nice email from Sayre-McCord saying they were impressed with app and I'd at least made it past initial round of rejections.

Weird--I thought from the forum that UNC wasn't notifying until mid-March, but I got an email from the history department today.

I called because my online app. said "app. status changed 2/23" and they told me I was accepted and that the letter was sent 2/23.

Dream program, so happy to get it~
