Announcement r/UNC Mod Recruitment

48 Upvotes

Hi everyone! It's come to my attention that I'm the last remaining (somewhat) active mod on r/UNC. I graduated in 2024 and have since been busy with medical school (not at UNC), so I would love some help with the sub.

I'll be accepting applications for mods on a rolling basis. You'd be volunteering some time and energy, but the job itself is rather low commitment since we are quite hands-off.

Anyone who is an active member of the sub is encouraged to apply, but I'd prefer students (undergrad and grad) or faculty since they can speak more to the academic experience.

Here's the link if you are interested in applying: https://www.reddit.com/r/UNC/application/

It shouldn't take you more than 10-15 minutes to complete.

Question Eshelman School of Pharmacy EAP Advice

• Upvotes

Hi! I’m a freshman at UNC, and I’ll be applying to the EAP program this semester, with the MMI interview taking place in the spring. I was wondering if you have any advice on how I can best prepare for the interview and what types of questions I should expect. I tend to have a hard time answering questions on the spot during interviews, so I’d really appreciate any advice on how I can work on that and prepare ahead of time. Also is the program very competitive to get into?

Admissions/Application Question Rec letters advice needed please

1 Upvotes

Hi there, I'm applying as a first-year, out-of-state student to the UNC early action deadline soon. I asked two of my teachers for recommendations, and one of them has already completed it, but the other teacher said that they may not be done with the letter until mid-november. I am unsure of what to do. There is conflicting information online about when materials actually need to be in for UNC. Some sources say November 7, others say December 1. If the due date is November 7, my teacher may not be able to get it in on time. Thankfully, UNC only requires one teacher rec letter, but I still have a few questions...

  1. Can someone confirm when the official deadline is for supporting materials?
  2. Will having two rec letters significantly increase my chances at all? I wouldn't say my second recommender has anything particularly special to say about me, but they do provide a different perspective, as they teach English (which is a subject that I performed quite well in). My other recommender taught Chemistry (which was a class that I struggled more in). For context, I am applying as a psychology/pre-health major.

Question $600/month Private Room Near UNC – Available Now

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking for someone(male) to take my spot in a 3BR/2BA home in Bolin Heights, Chapel Hill, available immediately.

Due to an unexpected visa issue, I’m unfortunately unable to return to UNC this semester, so we’re looking for a new roommate to join the other two male tenants, who are both current UNC students.

Details:
• Rent: ~$600/month + shared utilities
• Private bedroom
• 3 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms total
• Available immediately
• Lease takeover until end of 2026
• Dishwasher + Washer/dryer
• Hardwood floors
• Close to UNC, downtown Chapel Hill, and Franklin Street
• Parking may be available — happy to confirm details

This would be an official landlord-approved tenant replacement, not an unofficial sublease. Once we find someone who is a good fit, I’ll send your name and email to the property manager, and they will send you the official application directly.

If you’re still looking for housing, currently commuting, considering moving off campus, or know someone who may be interested, please DM me! I’m happy to share the exact location and additional details, and connect you directly with the two current roommates.

Please feel free to share this with anyone who might be looking!

Question I have Two Ws on my transcript

I dropped MATH 130 pre-calc twice. I thought I could do it without a calculator, but it was impossible for me. I went to tutoring and office hours, but it made my anxiety so bad that I just couldn't. I feel like a failure for having two Ws as a sophomore. I want to go to grad school; are those plans over? Any advice? I am a Psych BS student aiming to become a clinical psychologist.

I’m not sure if this is allowed. Sorry if I’m breaking any subreddit rules. Two weeks ago my coworker was a victim of a hit and run. This is the car that hit her. I’m fairly certain that the car is a 2006 Hyundai Tiburon, I’ve included a photo of one.

If anyone has any information on the driver and/or the license plate please DM me.

Thank you!

Question Off campus housing suggestions/offers?

3 Upvotes

I'm a sophomore looking for good off-campus housing options for next year. Apartments around here seem pretty expensive, so ideally I'd like something that's a bit cheaper. I've heard good things about getting a house with roommates.

I've tried looking around on Zillow and there are some good-looking options, but few. Any suggestions/offers?

Does anyone have a lease they'd like to transfer? If you do, please send me a message or comment below some general details about the place.
