The school’s dates line up very closely with last year’s timeline, with each of the deadline dates being just one day before those from the previous season. As you’ll note, UNC is the second school whose deadlines we’ve posted this week that has an “early action” round. While this term generally means that applicants will receive their admissions decision relatively shortly after their materials are due (just a bit over 6 weeks in the case of UNC), the post-decision implications for students can vary on a school by school basis. Check back in the coming days for a discussion of the differences between Early Action and Early Decision, and a comment on the benefits and drawbacks of each.
