Notification Deadlines for Fall 2008:
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions' goal is to provide you with an admissions decision as quickly as possible. Freshman admission is competitive. It is in your best interest to start this process in the fall of your senior year. Students must complete their applications by the specified deadline to qualify for the notification date.
| Received by: | Notification no later than: |

Complete Applications received after November 1, 2007 will be reviewed on a rolling basis beginning December 15, 2007 until March 1, 2008.
Applications received after March 1, 2008 will be considered on a space available basis.
Your application is non-binding; UNCG observes the May 1 national candidate reply date.
UNCG receives over 10,000 freshman applications for the fall semester, and many of these arrive in late fall. The November 1, 2007 notification deadline and December 15, 2007 notification date are designed to give you a clearer expectation of our response time during our busiest time of the year.
Please note that students who complete the application process and are eligible to apply for Merit Awards will receive notification prior to the specified deadline.
