Does anyone have the details on UNC's regular decision deadline? I'm considering applying and want to make sure I have everything ready in time. Any insights on their application process would be helpful too!
UNC-Chapel Hill's regular decision application deadline for the 2025-2026 academic year is January 15, 2025.
UNC-Chapel Hill accepts the Common Application, which streamlines the process as many other colleges accept it too, so you're able to use a lot of the same information. As part of the application, you'll need to submit your high school transcript, a counselor recommendation, and a teacher evaluation. It's always a good idea to give your recommenders plenty of time to write their letters, so make sure to ask them well ahead of the deadline.
For students applying for the 2025-2026 academic year, students with a weighted GPA of 2.8 or above (on a 4.0 scale) are not required to submit a test score. However, if you choose to submit them, you can self-report your scores on your application.
Particularly important in your application will be your essays, as they provide an opportunity for the admissions committee to get to know you beyond your grades and test scores. UNC-Chapel Hill requires one additional supplement essay alongside the Common Application essay, where you can highlight your interests, values, experiences, or how you could contribute to the university community.
Remember, the application process should be a reflection of your academic journey and personal growth, so ensure what you present aligns with your authentic self. Good luck as you navigate the application process!
