I've started as a bio major at UNC and taken chem 101/102, biol 101, 103, 105, and 220 (all with A's). I pivoted over to Business and would be able to graduate from that track a semester early next year. However I really wanted to be able to graduate as a minor. I need a 400 class and 200/L class remaining (7 credits total).

Here's the issue:

1. Prereqs: all the 400 classes layer on 104. The major isn't 15 credits, it's really 30 when you look at all the layering pre-reqs and it SUCKS.

2. Poorly rated profs: The classes that have been available without taking additional classes the past two semesters have had below a 3 on RMP with the professors. This feels like way too much of a gamble to take with an already brutal course of study

Additional info:

1. No plans if graduating early: maybe I'd go visit my grandparents and spend time with them? I guess I could let my summer internship know and see how that pans out. But I don't have a grand idea to travel the world or cure cancer or anything in the extra semester

2. Financial savings minimal: I work and have a large scholarship so I wouldn't really accrue debt with the extra semester

3. Not really into the "college experience": I don't have a super strong friend group at Carolina and don't feel particularly tethered to the community here. I like it here, don't get me wrong, but it's not been the best years of my life.

I want to go get a bio minor to
1. not let my work go to waste (those classes were BRUTAL)
2. parents want the prestige of a stem degree (they'd be very disappointed but fine in the end; I'd just rather not let them down over 3 classes)
3. think having a bio degree will help me pivot to PA school if I ever want to change careers down the line.

Hello! I am planning to graduate early. I have completed almost all of my pre-med classes and will be taking the MCAT in the spring. I already have a solid amount of impactful clinical hours, and I am currently focusing on research that should yield tangible and meaningful results by next year. I haven't finalized my timeline yet but I am definitely leaning towards taking a gap year. Will graduating early and then taking a gap year impact how admissions committees view my application? How would it look if I graduated early and applied straight through without a gap year?

Those who got multiple D and C in various courses at UNC. How is your life after graduating from UNC? (Btw I am a pre health student studying at UNC and in same condition)

Does anyone have any insight into how the Assured Enrollment selection process works for any of the programs at UNC?

I’m particularly curious about what happens after the initial application reader determines that a student should be admitted to UNC. From there, who reviews the application for Assured Enrollment, and how is that decision made? Is there a separate committee or review process? And does anyone know what factors they weigh most heavily when deciding who receives an Assured Enrollment spot?

Is orgo 2, phys114 and intro to neuro too much for one semester? Plus maybe psych101 but I doubt that'd be the thing to push me over

So I'm planning on buying a meal plan next semester for the first time, and I'm wondering how the ordering works at places like Bojangles and Chick fil A. Could anyone walk me through the process exactly? I don't want to look like a clueless idiot or slow everyone down while trying to order. (Yes I have social anxiety)

I am planning to take Psyc 210 and Psyc 270 together with Data 110 is that too much? My other classes are easy Gen Eds. I am a Psyc B.A. with a minor in Data Science. I have had some STEM heavy difficult semesters before I switched from pre med to pre clinical psych. I just want to make sure I am not doing too much. Anyone have advice?

Hey! my friend is wanting to come visit for Halloween and we talked about going to the football game that is against UMiami. Could we wait in the standby line to get a ticket for her? I’m not very knowledgeable on how this whole lottery stuff works 🙂‍↕️

not necessarily a class that walks you through the application but more like classes that help you develop the skills needed for it.

would any engl class be applicable?

does anyone have a copy of a past syllabus for COMP 616, Information Visualization? trying to get a class approved with my dean. thanks so much!

I figure I'd try campus before I just go to home depot or something, but I need to record sheet metal that makes this sound for a project in my music production class.

Edit: lots of great answers, thanks everyone!

The series began in 2000 and ended in 2011 because the jeweler, Carlyle & Co., went bankrupt in 2009 and it only lasted one more academic year with a new sponsor in Continental Tire. The series is led by UNC at a record of 7-3-1. The last winner, UNC, has remained in possession of the trophy ever since.

I apologize for the low-res photo. I searched for a half hour for a better photograph of the actual trophy, but there doesn’t seem to be a single picture on the internet besides this one from Wikipedia.

Would you like to see this trophy make a comeback?

Taking 401/407 now and plan to take 406/408 next semester.
Is it OK to add 403 or another core class? Or better to do electives to balance it out more?
Is there a preferred timetable for classes - i.e. are some classes mostly filled with seniors so not great for a sophomore.
I’m mostly done with Gen Ed’s but do I add others to lighten the work load?
Any advice on schedules/timelines that worked would be great.
I don’t know what area of focus I want yet if that helps.

spending way too much time in my room bc my friends have all been busy lately :( ...

can someone give me some suggestions on unique solo activities to do around UNC that are ideally inexpensive/dont require athletic ability/able to do in the colder weather?

the playmakers theatre has been on my list (for example)

So.... I'm trying to take CHM 241, BIO 103, PHYS 114, and CHM 261 all in the same semester to keep my graduation plan. Obviously, it looks like I might just pass away next semester, but I swear it's necessary. The problem is that I need the labs for CHM 241 and BIO 101, but I can only register for 13 credits in the first wave. How likely am I to get these labs in the second wave or during open enrollment???

**not a chance me, just want to see if my circumstances will be heard out over numbers on transcript**

4.457 W and 3.826 UW GPA

rank 35/383 (top 9% of class)

test-optional

would say i have very good extracurriculars and personal statement (those aren't my worry)

on paper these stats look fine, above average even. looking at my transcript i was a straight A student freshman and sophomore year but when junior year hit: 2 B's and a C (88, 86, and 79). clearly they were higher B's and C's on the scale but at the end of the day i still got those grades (Chem Honors, AP Precalc, AP Stats). in the additional info section i mentioned how i was diagnosed with a medical condition that constantly left me unable to prioritize my schoolwork, and that now as a senior i am back to managing my classes with straight A's this semester. i guess i am just worried because i don't have the test scores to back me up. i have a 1330 SAT superscore but felt that was too low to send in so went test-optional.

obviously i don't expect them to ignore the major decline in grades my junior year, but is it time to start losing hope?

any study tips will be appreciated

Hello lovely members of r/UNC. Im graduating this December and have been on the lookout for a good photographer. Any suggestions are welcome, budget friendly suggestions are extremely welcome! I’d love to support someone local, bonus points if they specialize in grad photography or were a unc student themselves!

Anyone in it this semester? Thoughts?

I get a STEM class will never be completely positive but I haven’t heard a single good thing about any professor teaching this course and so many people tell me it is disorganized? Why is that? Is it better taking the honors version later on? I haven’t even heard this bad of things about orgo lol

pit stop in the student store. $3 anywhere else. who do i have to complain to for them to fix this bs?? i understand needing to make a profit but jesus christ... yall make a profit without doing this!!!!

um so i've received priority deadline (disability) as an accommodation back in august but after checking my registration date i dont think i got the priority registration... the date showing is october 28 7:00 AM but i heard the priority registration is the 19th... (aka like 2 days)

i dont have a case worker assigned so i just emailed my academic advisor but what else can i do?

if you're wondering why i didn't catch this sooner, i didn't know the priority date was the 19th so no cmnts about why i didnt realize sooner
