Your admission office is at UNC Kenan-Flagler MBA Global Programs. Contact Patricia Collins and not the graduate admissions office. Admission letters are issued once you completed your application.
Your DS 2019 has your program start and end date on it. The expiration date on your DS-2019 is the date that your program in the United States ends. However, you have 30 days from that date before you are required to leave the United States. You may use this 30-day period to prepare for your departure, or to travel in the United States.
