Hello everyone! I'm a junior and I'm super interested in UNC Chapel Hill. I was wondering if they offer an Early Decision process or if it's just Early Action. Thanks for any insights you can share!
UNC Chapel Hill only offers an Early Action (EA) application process, not Early Decision (ED). Early Action is a non-binding application process, which means that if you're admitted, you have the option to accept or decline the offer. You'll have until May 1st, the standard decision date, to make your decision.
EA applications to UNC Chapel Hill are typically due on October 15th, and you can expect to receive your admissions decision by the end of January. Applying Early Action can be beneficial because it often results in a slightly higher acceptance rate compared to Regular Decision applications. However, keep in mind that even if you apply EA, the admissions review process remains holistic, and your entire application will be evaluated.
Good luck with your application process, and feel free to ask any other questions about UNC Chapel Hill!
