Applying to UNCW is a big a deal and it can be a
little discouraging to sit around waiting for that decision letter to come in
the mail.
It’s been a few weeks and you’re getting anxious!
I know! Trust me; I was in the same boat too! I
had to get accepted if life was going to continue the way I needed it to! A
little dramatic, I know, but you start to envision your future and it’s
heartbreaking when you consider the delay is probably because you aren’t
getting in!
But fear not!
The neat thing about being a VA Work Study and
working in the Office of Admissions
at James Hall is that I am in the hidden
scenes of the Admissions process. And I get to share it with you!
Here’s what is
happening at the Admissions Office once you click Submit in your SeaLevel
account:
-
Transcripts: many transcripts are
delivered to the office daily. Each one is opened and individually scanned to
create your electronic file. Once every single transcript is scanned it must be
electronically linked to the corresponding person’s application.
-
Complete
Applications:
once all of your credentials have been received and linked to your application,
your application becomes complete and ready to be
reviewed!
-
Admissions
Counselors: The
awesome counselors here in the Office of Admissions read every single
application, every single essay and every part of your transcripts and
credentials. Imagine reading over 3500
applications over a period of a few months! There ought to be an Admissions Counselor
Appreciation Day!
-
Letters: Once your application has
been thoroughly read, a decision is made and the decision letters are generated
and sent.
My name is Patty Martinez, and
that’s your 411.
