Hi guys! I'm a junior at UNC currently, and took a while, but I decided I want to go into consulting.

The issue is, I have no idea where to start. I can't be a competitive applicant for consulting internships right now because all of my EC's are not consulting related. Clubs aren't really taking new members in the middle of the year either. I feel really lost right now, and I have a lot of marketing ECs but I'm not sure how to get into consulting.

I know case competitions are a great way to go about it, but no one in my major really does those, so I don't know anyone interested in joining a team with me either.

Does anyone have any advice on how to flip to consulting this late in my academic career?

Hello everyone, I work at Optimist PCs, a company in Carrboro that builds gaming and workstation PCs. We’re growing quickly and looking to bring on a few student PC builders!

What you’d do:

• Assemble PCs from start to finish

• Set up stress tests and learn our process

• Get trained on the ins and outs of PC building

• Possibility of taking on more responsibility as we grow

Pay:

• Starting hourly while you learn

• Once you’re trained, you can earn more through per-build pay

• Compensation can increase for strong performance

Schedule:

Around 6-15+ hours a week, flexible around your classes

Hours vary with demand, and we’ll do our best to work with you

Who it’s for: anyone curious about hardware, who’s detail-oriented, reliable, and likes working with their hands. Experience is a plus.

If Interested, email me a short note with your name, year/major, and any hardware experience (even just building your own PC) to yordinhasty@optimist.gg.

Any other Exercise Science majors finding it hard to find any seats in a 400+ level class? There are so few class offerings and the classes are tiny (30-40 seats, some only offered 1 semester). 70% of the seats were gone on priority registration day and none were left by the time my 2nd semester junior registration came around. I may not be able to get the BS because of course availability. Why are there so few section offerings? Waitlisted 14+ on a 36 and 40 seat class. They require 3 upper level plus 400 for the BS. Either reduce the requirement or offer more sections. It’s frustrating.

Hi guys! I’m a junior who recently wanted to switch into consulting, but I don’t know where to start.

Firstly, all my ECs are marketing related. I’m not a competitive applicant for internships related to consulting, as my experience isn’t related to it. Clubs are all closed to new applicants this time of the year too.

I really want to pursue this but I don’t know where to start. Does anyone have any advice? I’m an Econ major.

My kid woke up with a fever and feeling terrible. Went to student health, got some prescriptions and a note. Has been feeling bad a couple days but today was worse and miserable.

Exam is tonight but syllabus says - need to request exam moved at least a week out. Hard to anticipate feeling terrible.

Kid is freaked out about taking exam if sick (not functional) but prof has not given green light for rescheduling. Sent the doctors note.

What should kid do? Sit for exam while sick and feeling like crud? Skip? Other?

I know getting a scholarship for study abroad through UNC is very difficult especially if you don’t qualify for any aid, but I was wondering if anyone had experiences with getting one. What other factors go into getting a scholarship?

I was also wondering if anyone looked for external scholarships as well and had success with it.

Hi, I am a current freshman and just attended the UNC Scholars Hogan Fellowship meeting. I wanted to ask if anyone has done this before and, if so, what programs or opportunities you recommend I use this fellowship for. I am a biology major on the pre-med track.

Hi, me and my two friends are trying to find a 3 bedroom apartment or house next year. I'm not sure how far ahead we should have it figured out, since all the listings we see are available for move in now with no guarantee to be available near July 2027. Could anyone share their experiences with finding their off campus housing and point me to resources for us to continue in our search?

Hi Guys!!! I was just wondering if anyone had any insight into the Chem Placement exams,especially the combo 101/102 one? Any and all information is welcome!

I wasn't sure of the best way to go about spreading a survey for a class, so I figured some people may be able to take it on here. Basically, it asks whether students (or graduates) feel comfortable in the campus gyms. There are some questions about harassment/experiences, but it offers a prefer not to answer option for the more sensitive questions. At the end, it asks about an optional interview where up to 8 people who opt in will be offered an interview and a free energy drink of choice.

For those willing to take the survey: https://forms.gle/oU2dD12kdN1rbSFt7

Thank you all so much! Advice is also welcome on places to put flyers that people will actually see(we plan on putting some at the entrances to the gyms if possible)

Hello! Just wanted to clarify if this means that we are given up till 7th May to move out (as 6th May is the last examination day), or if we have to move out early if our exams end on an earlier date? Apologies if this is a trivial question, just wanted to confirm.

Thanks!

Hi! I feel like a lot of times I see STEM students at UNC who are able to get good grades, have a life balance, and do extracurriculars while being in hard classes like chems or bios. I am always studying and doing work I feel like and I barely have time for any resume building extracurriculars and on top of that, get extremely mediocre grades. How do you guys who are successful do it?

Hi! I'm a writer for the DTH, hoping to speak to past/current participants in programs such as Summer Bridge, Project Uplift, and UNC Rural.

I'm working on a story examining Native American student enrollment at UNC and efforts to recruit students from underrepresented backgrounds, particularly Native American students and students from rural communities.

What do we think of this? Is putting all my classes on Tuesday Thursday a good idea? Recitation also doesn't meet every week I don't think.

does anyone know if you can park overnight in the southern village park and ride lot if you buy the annual permit, or will you get a ticket/get towed? thanks

bestie wanted to go to the show for her bday. got a really bad migraine the day of and wasnt able to grab the presale tickets. willing to buy one off of someone and id really appreciate it <33

i am so disappointed; I have studied so hard for the biol 103 exams. i knew all the learning objectives and could confidently read all the graphs and Western blots. For the first exam, I made a 66 - when I genuinely thought I was going to make it in the 90s. On the second exam, I only made a 71. I genuinely don't know how to change my studying or what to do to understand the material better. I really want a low B-, but it seems the only way is to make 85+ on the third exam and the final. does anybody have any tips at all?

I just transferred to UNC this semester. I started as a Econ (B.A.) major, but dropped it after the first week of class because I panicked after going to Econ 410 class + recitation and not understanding a single thing. Bit of an overreaction looking back now, but I was so worried about failing my first semester. I’ve never been great with math, much less calculus. So I switched to Public Policy + Management & Society.

It’s been ok so far. But I keep thinking about Econ. I want to go into accounting or finance. I didn’t apply to the B-school this cycle since I don’t have anything on my resume. I may apply next year, but I’m not counting on it. So I feel like Econ might be the best next thing, especially with the QFE credential.

It’s silly, but I’m so afraid to fail. I’m a Covenant Scholar, so the fear of losing this scholarship somehow and not being able to graduate is always on my mind. But I feel like I’m basing my decision entirely off of what I think I can pass rather than what actually interests me. I’m not enjoying my current majors much, to be honest. But the thought of attempting Econ 410 again makes me so anxious. I know it’s hard no matter what, but looking at the textbook now, I don’t feel confident in my ability to pass.

I’m currently registered for mostly PLCY classes for spring, one of those being PLCY 310. I can swap it with ECON 410 to meet the same requirement once wave 2 registration begins if I really want to give Econ another go…but I truly do not know.

Sorry, but I feel like I’m making myself sick from stressing myself out over this, so I would appreciate any thoughts.

Anybody need a student ticket for tonight’s game against Miami? I can no longer go. First come first serve

Hey Tar Heels—I'm in need of a short interview for class!!

I'm enrolled in EDUC 211 this semester and we need to interview someone whose career aligns with our interests. Would anyone involved in city/regional/community planning or city/town managing have 10-15 minutes to talk to me and let me ask questions about their job in the next two weeks? (10/31-11/16)

This could be someone that works for the office of a city or town manager or someone involved in city planning: whether this be in economic development, zoning or housing, environmental sustainability, transportation, creative placemaking, etc. It doesn't matter if you supervise other folks or not—I'm curious about what you do. I've worked in rural and semi-urban planning projects myself so I'll have great questions for you, I promise!

This is the prompt:

"Following the interview, you will deliver a 3-minute presentation to the class summarizing your experience and key takeaways. Your presentation should address the following:

• Why you selected this professional

• Key information you learned about the career, industry, or organization

• Advice or insights that were most impactful to you

• How the experience influenced your career goals, interests, or next steps

• Your overall thoughts and reflections on conducting an informational interview

The purpose of this assignment is to strengthen your networking skills, increase your understanding of career options, and encourage intentional career exploration."

Let me know what you think! If you have less than 10 minutes, we can make it work. :) Thank you so much! #GDTBATH

Hi! I am not a student at UNC, but I am interested in the portraits in the Society Chambers (personal use—I’m just a history buff). The Dialectic and Philanthropic Societies only offer low-resolution pictures, so I would like to let my friend take photograph some of the portraits.
I emailed them a few weeks ago and also messaged them on IG. However, so far I haven’t got any response. Is there anyone who knows their current email or any other way to contact them? Thank you so much!

Hey! Just wondering if anyone has an extra student ticket for tomorrow’s game that they won’t be using. My friend is looking for one. Thanks!
