Campus Safety

The UBP Admissions Committee will review all CSIs, including any provided explanation, in their decision making. A CSI does not automatically exclude an applicant from fair and equal consideration for admission to the program.

If in doubt, it is always better to report any incident, including housing warnings or community standards violations, that could show up on our Campus Safety Audit. Documentation is not required, however, you should provide a detailed explanation within the text box provided. Our team will reach out if we have any additional questions or concerns.

Activities, Honors and Experience form-based sections

We expect overlap in the resume and the form-based sections (activities, experience and involvement) of the application. The form entries are less formal in nature and provide an option for including descriptions, duties, etc. that you would not include in a formal resume.

It is completely up to the student as to how far back they report, but most students will include the past year or two. Since we encourage students to focus mainly on university level campus involvement within their resume, the form pages are also an effective option for sharing high level or relevant involvement from high school that did not make it into their one-page resume.

Essays
Essays may vary depending on your selections within the application. For example, Luther Hodges and students applying for MAC Consideration will find additional essay prompts under the "Supplemental Essay" page.

Additional Information
The additional information essay should be used for any extenuating circumstances or information or insights that would be helpful for the admissions committee. For example, students dealing with a loss or illness that has impacted their ability to perform in or outside of the classroom.

Transfer students and re-applicants are also encouraged to provide the committee with an informal update on their circumstance, which is located on the "Essay" page of the application.

Essay Formatting
Essays submitted via uploaded material should be typed single-spaced using 12-point font. Please include your last name and PID in the header or top right corner of each essay upload. Word or PDF are accepted. Aside from the formatting preferences stated above, applicants are encouraged to use their best judgement for additional questions related to formatting or file name convention.

Please view the application workshop video for some additional guidance. However, the UNC Writing Center should be the official source for writing support. Please see the plethora of online resources provided within their website.

Luther Hodges Scholars
Please visit the Luther Hodges Scholars website for additional information on the evaluation process or program requirements and direct any questions to Phil Hardy at Phil_Hardy@kenan-flagler.unc.edu.

Where can I find the Resume template for the Undergraduate Business Program?
The resume template can be accessed on the Resume page of the website. Applicants should also visit the University Career Services landing page for business applicants to explore other application-relevant resources.

Can I use another template?
Students are advised to follow the UBP Required Template as closely as possible, but minor adjustments are anticipated. We encourage students to use their best judgement.

May I meet with an admissions counselor to have my resume reviewed?
We do not review applicant materials for coaching purposes. Applicants are encouraged to seek guidance from campus resources such as University Career Services (UCS) and the UNC Writing Center.

I would like to request video interview accommodations in the McColl Building if space becomes available.

Applicants can schedule an appointment with a member of our admissions team through the UNC Advising scheduler. Select “Pre-Business Counseling” as the “Primary Reason” to see admissions counselor availability.

However, please note that our Admissions Counselors will not be able to provide material support such as reviewing resumes or essays. If this is the type of support that you are seeking, please see the following suggested resources:
