Is App your first choice? ^^ And have you committed yet? Also what county are you from if you’re instate or are you OOS? Just curious haha
Has anyone heard anything on scholarships? They said they’d notify by mail at the end of January but mail is very slow right now and it’s getting close… I hope I get some kind of notification on my portal even if it’s a no…
nothing here…
Update: my AO confirmed to me that all interview invitations for signature scholarships were sent last week, and that students like me who did not get an interview would not be notified of that.
These scholarships are tough, folks. If you’re applying in the 2026 or later cycles and have great stats (4.0/34/val), good ECs, and things like governor’s school, don’t assume that you will get an interview. However, it is likely you will get the $2k Appalachian Excellence Scholarship.

Honors notifications are coming in the next few weeks, as well.
yeah, great advice. take nothing for granted and don’t assume it will be served on a platter to you.
Getting the interview is just one step closer but the odds are higher in not getting it. Apply to many places to increase your odds.

My daughter was accepted Early Decision from Georgia. Her GPA is lower than most posted here, but she worked hard on her essay and had some good extracurriculars.
She’s trying to decide between App State and other schools in NC. Looking to major in Creative Writing.
We hope to visit the campus by early March. COVID has really put a cramp on campus visits!
Congratulations to everyone whose child was accepted.

If anyone gets into honors in the coming weeks, please post here-- I’m not sure whether they notify applicants who aren’t admitted!
Just received an email saying I will not get an interview for Signature Scholarships. Nothing on honors for me.
got that scholarship email as well.

My daughter received an email as well (did not get the interview). She also did not get AES $2k award and she has not heard anything about Honors yet. I think App State is officially out of contention for her now as it would be the 2nd most expensive option for her. Good luck to everyone who was selected for the Signature Scholarship!

Sorry to hear that PizzaDad, but I am absolutely sure she will have other wonderful options! Best of luck to you both!
For what it’s worth (for everyone, sorry if I mentioned everyone by accident), since I wasn’t selected to interview, I’ve decided that if I don’t get into Honors, App is off the list. It doesn’t make sense to attend with no honors considering I got into Honors Carolina at Chapel Hill. So I’m awaiting my honors decision eagerly because I honestly love App. We’ll see.
I received that email as well, no interview, in fact I had been deferred, but email closed with looking forward to seeing you at one of the admitted student events? I have other options and honors already and I’m just not sure what is going on with App this year ?

Wait, you’re deferred and invited to Honors? You should check your portal to see if there was an update. Also, how did you get the Honors notification?
How are you notified of Watauga acceptance does anyone know?
I did not apply to Watauga, just to honors, but either way I’m not sure @NC3girls
My daughter got an email with her Watauga acceptance. Haven’t heard about Honors yet.
