Any of you folks transfer to UNC?

Any UNC. I'm applying to transfer(from community college) for next year and was just wondering what the process was like, and how many credits you had/what your GPA was.

If you get in from a community college I will be surprised.

What do you mean? I'll have a pretty good transfer resume ready by then and I know they accept lots of transfers.

UNC Chapel Hill lets in a lot of transfer students I know

I'm definitely considering a Chapel Hill transfer from UNCW in 2012 too. Kinda wanna check into Dartmouth too, even though I believe Ivy League doesn't accept credits from outside schools... But yeah, good luck with that.

My brother transfered from CPCC to UNC after 2 years. I don't talk to him much so don't know any other details.

GPA should be around 3.5 (could be lower, but this is where you want to be)

Most credits will transfer but they will require you to retake some courses or the next level up. Once accepted, they don't place you in the college of your interest. You'll have to take some credit hours there to prove you can handle it. Then apply for the college of your interest.

You'll want to make a trip up there to meet with some advisors (college of your interest). Shake some hands, kiss their ass then have them kiss yours, make sure your both seeing eye to eye.

Went up there 2 years ago for the same process. So, dont have official notes in front of me but that about sums it up.

All universities in the UNC system (State, ECU and App included) pretty much have to* accept you if you have completed you AAT (Associates of Arts-Transfer) at a NC Comm College.

*As long as you meet GPA requirements for the respective school. No SATs, no high school grades, just what you did at community college.

Edit: Now, as other have stated, getting into a specific program is a totally different story.

Thanks for the advice guys. At the moment I have around 25(estimate, not sure which credits will transfer) transferable credits and a 3.6/3.7 GPA. I should have like 30+ credits but I had to do the beginner math(two 5 credit classes that don't transfer sigh..) because I dropped out of HS and had to start over...

By the time I apply for transfer, I'll met all minimum transfer requirements(6 English credits, 6 math credits, 6 science/lab credits, 6 social science credits, 6 foreign language credits) and will have a 3.7 GPA. I could probably raise that a little bit if I get A's in calculus 1/2, but that's very doubtful lol.

Think a 3.7GPA with around 40 credits will be good enough to get me into UNC Charlotte(that's what I'm focusing on, would like UNC Chapel Hill but I've heard it's more competitive).

I'm transferring to UNCW in the fall so I just went through the process. Make sure you meet the minimum requirements that the UNC system schools have. If you are graduating with an AA AS you are better off than just transferring. Deadlines are coming up for Fall 2011 so get on it quick!

Pretty much sums it up. Make sure you go to transfer open houses, and visit with the admissions people.
