The School of Law is one of the most outstanding institutions in the United States, and the University of North Carolina is recognized as being among the nation’s leaders in graduate and professional education. The programs at Carolina Law reflect a powerful, active commitment to the goals of teaching, scholarship, and public service.

I have. I also see that once your application is complete, it will take 8-10 weeks to hear back.
after I submitted my supplemental application, it took 5 days for them to mark it complete
