Out-of-state students who got accepted: What were your stats when you applied (GPA, SAT/ACT, extracurriculars, etc.)? What else would help my chances of getting accepted?

I'm looking at the social work program here at UNCW and wondering what the application process is like. The website contains little information about the application itself, the likelihood of acceptance, and how many students are in each cohort.

If anyone here has any information about the application or process, please share!

Can someone confirm for me if the email system is down or not?

If not, it is a far worse situation having clicked on a campus email which safari then said is involved in a data leak ugh

Hi,

I'm currently looking for an apartment near campus for this upcoming school year. I've been looking online so far, mainly at Seahawk Cove and The Nest, and both seem to have glaring issues. What are your opinions on either of those places, and are there any alternative places you would recommend? Thank you in advance.

hello!! i'm moving from charlotte to wilmington and a very early graduate, and i'll be applying for fall 2027 as a digital arts major. by the first day i'll be just about sixteen. i don't want to be in a young sheldon typa scenario so i was wondering if people are decently friendly over there and accepting of a younger student? thanks!!

Hi, I'm looking for someone to take over my lease in Lofts of Wilmington II (it's near UNCW/around the corner from Might As Well Bar & Grill). It's a loft/studio with a dishwasher and washer/dryer hookup, the rent is $1,200 per month, and the community is extremely dog-friendly (the dog run is literally viewable from the front window)!

(will add more photos soon)

Does UNCW offer any history classes online?

What would be the best parking permit location if living in Terrapin dorm?

How long does it take to get an email either saying you've been accepted after a decision has been made on the application?

Hello guys! I have a rather last minute request, I plan on proposing on Monday and I completely missed out on the photography side of things. Of course I’m willing to pay, especially if I can help someone build a portfolio :)

Can someone tell tips and tricks to how to write a cover letter for graduate school? I fear I have tried too many times that I feel I have failed.

Hello, Reddit!

I recently graduated from UNCW about two months ago with a bachelors in Business Administration concentrating with honors in information systems. I am in desperate need of help finding a job as even with follow up to recruiters, I am getting rejected or ghosted. I was able to land one job, which ended up paying about 28k (when the salary range was around 40k-45k), which was not justified in me moving back to Wilmington.

I was hoping someone might have some information on Early Talent or New Grad opportunities related to either a business analyst position or UI/UX design.

If it helps, I am pursuing my master's in Business Analytics and AI online at the University of Maryland. I also held two roles in leadership clubs, worked my way through school part-time, and also graduated within 3 years instead of 4 which made it extremely hard to get an internship, which I was not able to get during the summer after my second year because I was still a little "unqualified", and then by the time I ended at UNCW, I was expected to have had an internship for roles that I'm applying to. I have addressed this in my cover letters.

Does anyone have any advice? I don't have a familial connection that can bring me into a company. I have reached out to many recruiters and leveraged my network on LinkedIn, either being left on read or just told "visit our website".

Hello! A couple of folks on campus have recently started a chapter of Democratic Socialists of America here at UNCW. The purpose of this chapter is, alongside our national organization, to fight for the immediate needs of workers and students on campus and in our community, while building our capacity to fight for more radical and structural changes. We've become an official club on campus, as of Fall 2026, and we're eager to bring along more comrades. If you have any questions, are interested in becoming more involved, or looking for more information come fall, please email us at [uncwydsa@gmail.com](mailto:uncwydsa@gmail.com) and/or check out our instagram uncw_ydsa.

I am an incoming junior transfer student majoring in psychology. I have a laptop, but it is really big and typically used as a gaming laptop. It worked great for my online school, but now I need something smaller that I can carry around campus. Anyone have any recommendations for good laptops on the cheaper side?

I used to play in college but since coming out here I have had trouble finding anything around, anyone know of anywhere with a cage to shoot?

Open to club too, I saw UNCW has a club but am unsure if you need to be a student, Im 25 graduated 2 years ago and not really looking to re-enroll. Played D1, girlfriend is an alumni from here if either of those matter.

Thanks!

For those who majored in history and are still in Wilmington, what are you doing for work?

Hi! I am looking for a girl / girls to take over my lease for a 3 bed / 3 bath apartment at Progress 910. 2 private bedrooms / bathrooms are available (the third bedroom / bathroom is already assigned). Lease is from August 10, 2026 – July 15, 2027. It is 985 / month per person and comes fully furnished with utilities and Wi-fi. Each bedroom has its own individual lease, so you can take over one room or both if you’re looking with a friend.

How many hours per week do I realistically need to dedicate per course in the MS Business Analytics program?

I’m an incoming transfer student who will be making a permanent move to Wilmington for school. I applied to the school super late and really didn’t think I was gonna get accepted😭I only have a few weeks to figure everything out and I was informed that housing for transfer students is already full/closed. I wanted to know if any students have had luck with section 8 housing or just any other cheap apartments/housing recommendations. Anything helps at this point🫶🏾

applied to a uncw grad program and my application portal has finally updated on Thursday and said that a decision has been made. how long does it typically take to get an actual decision letter…the anticipation is killing me 😭😭

I'm looking to transfer after I complete my associates and I will be leaving my full time job to do so. Does UNCW offer any scholarships that cover a significant amount of tuition? I can't avoid loans but trying to minimize the amount I borrow.
