Im a High School Junior and am looking forward to going to UNCW Fall of 2026. I have a 3.7 Weighted GPA and a 3.5 Unweighted. I’m in my local NJROTC (with a leadership position), NHS and FTA (Vice President.) I have over 100 volunteer hours just between my freshman ane sophomore year. And I am not intending to submit my SAT and ACT scores. (I’m a horrible test taker 😥)

Should I go ED?

Hello Everyone! I am a computer science student, and I was wondering what the chances are that CSC 331 could be offered during the summer? Thank you all

I have a place to stay just looking for 2 other roomates to fill in the blanks.

i am in state and applied for honors college. i have a 30 ACT, a 3.83 UW, 4.19 weighted. i really hope i could get in because uncw is one of my top schools. does this fit the average ?

Has anyone completed or is in the MHA program at UNC-W? What are your experiences and do you recommend?

Hi I am looking for one extra graduation ticket for today at 1pm. I am 1 ticket short. My husband is graduating and his family won’t be there so I’ve tried to surprise him with all his friends instead but I am one short still! I’m willing to pay if necessary.

Just applied to uncw but I'm worried my GPA isn't good enough to get accepted, so I thought I'd ask to see what got y'all in.

Recently I found out that my gpa was messed up, originally thought it was a 4.0w and even put that on my common app. I ended up finding out it was a 3.0w and emailed UNCW about the correction. Not sure if I will end up getting into the pre nursing program with my stats. I have a 3.0w, graduating highschool with my associates degree at a community college, took 2 aps and have over 30 hrs of volunteer work. I applied reg decision so I wont be hearing back in a few months or so. Does anyone think I would be able to make it in or is it a reach?

Sirens went off around 2am on October 10th.

So I applied to UNCW in september with a 3.8 gpa and a strong essay, as well as being in NEHS and some other extracurriculars, so i have a decent resume. However, I took my first college level class this semester (first semester of my senior year) and it is an online pre-calc class at an early college doing dual enrollment. Unfortunately I didn’t do great in there and will end up with about a 75% in the class, the first C I’ve gotten in all of high school and only the second class that I have had less than an A in since my sophomore year (other one was honors math 3). With this being my first college class that I have taken will this greatly hurt my chances of getting accepted or will it be looked at as it was just a difficult jump in class difficulty? Do I still have a good chance of getting in?

Hello everyone, I'm glad to announce that I've been admitted to UNCW and intend to arrive in fall 2025! However, I have two questions for you and advice is greatly appreciated.

1. How should I approach telling this to my family?

My family right now is poor and it's a struggle to pay bills, I've been taking some classes at Wake Tech so that it wouldn't be so bad as attending UNCW for a full four years. I'm sure my Mom would be excited but the money piece might not go well for her, and this would also mean me moving from RDU to Wilmington. Again I'd like for my family to be excited but the finances and logistics might be a huge turn off. My transfer counselor has offered to take my Mom on a call with us so that they would be able to discuss concerns but I'd like to get to telling my Mom first.

2. When should I apply for housing?

I'm applying for off-campus housing for the two-fold purpose of having housing to attend UNCW and as a place to settle in Wilmington until I decide to go elsewhere. I've been looking at some apartments but I want to know if I should be applying immediately or if I have time to wait. That way I can have some time to focus my time finishing up my associate's program and talking to my family at the same time.

very, very stupid question. i keep seeing people get onion rings at the under the hood in wagoner, but every time i go to order there’s only an option for fries and specialty fries. am i missing something?

Anyone got any graduation tickets for sale? I am looking to get some as soon as possible. I need five but am available to buy as many as you have. Thanks

Hello everyone,

I am a recent Boston University grad (turned UNCW student) who is hoping to help anyone who may be struggling in their Japanese classes. I graduated last spring with a minor in Japanese language and literature, so I have taken Japanese courses up to the upper-intermediate level.

With finals just around the corner, I thought that it might be helpful to offer cheap tutoring for struggling students. My current rate is $20 per hour for a 50 minute session. DM me if interested!

I don't get it, the Purell soap is healthy, as opposed to unhealthy soap?
Who calls their soap healthy?? Just a curious observation.

A few questions:

If given the choice to attend UNCW and graduate debt free or mostly debt free vs attending a higher ranking school like Chapel Hill or NC State and graduating with $40k-$80K debt, what would you choose?

UNCW is a solid school - but it is not as "prestigious" as other schools. Do students who graduate from UNCW have less opportunities upon graduation than graduates from higher ranking schools?

Are students with an undergrad from UNCW given same priority for grad and/or law school as students from more "prestigious" colleges (excluding Ivy League)?

All of these questions are in context of a student majoring in liberal arts like sociology, criminology, political science, psychology, history, etc. Graduate would not be in a STEM major.

How would you advise a high school senior majoring in a liberal arts major who has plans for either grad school or law school? Graduate mostly debt free or take on debt for a higher ranking school?

Hi everyone! I am not (yet) a student at uncw, but I am considering transferring, because even though I have guaranteed admission to unc, I dislike the large campus, the location, and the transfer program im in.

I’m also kinda intimidated by unc premed culture, and I was wondering what it is like for premeds ay uncw? do premeds have a good chance at getting into med school right out of college? Do they give u guys a lot of clinical opportunities? lastly, does uncw have a premed council?

Is it a good place to live, pros cons?

Also, is the area around this apartment safe? Are there sketchy areas near campus / other apartments

Anyone know of any hidden spots around campus that are rarely frequented by people?

I ended up missing early action because I wasn’t too sure about this school, but applied anyways to regular decision. Has anyone who applied to regular decision here back from them or possibly know when they should be sending an email out? Also if anyone has any random info about the pre nursing acceptance there I would love to hear it! Ty!!

I applied for UNCW with Early Action back in August. I have seen that some people get a decision as early as mid-December. For people who applied during Early Action, when did you get a decision? Thanks in advance!!
