<p>I posted this on another UNC thread but it answers your questions and more.</p>
<p>Honors program invitations are sent out sometime between now and mid April.</p>
<p>Scholarship information won't probably start coming out until March at which time those offered significant merit awards (Davie, Carolina Scholars among them) will also be invited to an Explore Carolina session. They hold about eight of them for all admitted students but reserve two of them for the students they really want to attend and are offering significant merit money to. These are the only sessions that offer overnights. They have an all day program for you and parents (separately) ending with a meal and entertainment in the President's suite in Kenan stadium. That session helped us to decide on UNC.</p>

<p>decent but not spectacular ECs...</p>
<p>how does UNC's merit based scholarships work? Because if i don't get any money im gonna have to go to Rutgers (the lovely state uni of NJ).......</p>
<p>nlt51: i was contacted about a merit scholarship opportunity involving a visit to the campus and participation in discussions. you too? pm me if you (or anyone else) are going!</p>
<p>SAT: 1500 (800 math, 700 verbal) + 780 writing
Rank: top 2% in larger public high school
ECs: very strong.
Essays: not an amazing writer, but very indicative of my character.

<p>This is for my school's only EA UNC'er (this is all I know about her)</p>
<p>Deferred, OOS (Oregon)</p>
<p>SAT: 1200/1600 - 1810/2400
ACT: 30
GPA: Weighted - 3.8ish (highest is 4.36)
Rank: Estimated, but 50+/336 (could be much worse, but certainly not higher)
Pretty challenging strength of schedule (not Full IB, which school offers and 43 students are in)</p>
<p>EC's: Constitution Team (with me), Student Government (with me), etc. </p>
<p>She applied to almost all the schools I applied to (I didn't apply to UNC) and I'm shocked she got deferred knowing how hard UNC is OOS. Perhaps she has a hook I'm not aware of.</p>
<p>SAT: 1510 (800 math, 710 verbal)
Rank: 6/450+
ECs: lots with leadership and community service
Essays: one was funny and another was (i guess) thought provoking
Recs: i don't really know, but i'm assuming good</p>
<p>anyone know if some scholarships don't require an interview? i didn't get asked to interview so i'm hoping for some other, even smaller ones.</p>
<p>Your SAT alone should qualifiy you for merit money. I can't remember if the Davie has historically used a 1500 cutoff or 1530. If the Davie was 1500, then I'm not sure if the Carolina Scholars then required a 1530 or 1550 but you can get a feel for the ballpark they are looking for. </p>
<p>Don't know of any outside the Morehead or Robertson that required an interview.</p>
