<p>Did anyone else get an invitation for Connect Carolina today? It's "an overnight program on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill designed to help high-achieving underrepresented students sample the rich academic and social opportunities at Carolina." It's set for February 6-7. Does this mean I got in, or do they send this to everyone?</p>
<p>Btw, I'm new here, and am anxiously waiting for tomorrow! Good luck to everyone :)</p>
<p>you are in! good job!</p>
<p>"underrepresented"...is this like an early notification for minorities?</p>
<p>I am Hispanic, but the letter does not specifically say, "Hurray! You got accepted!" so I don't know if this is an early notification for minorities.</p>
<p>i got it too</p>
<p>got that too</p>
<p>does anyone know if they do visits like this for everyone, not just minorities???</p>
<p>I got it too, I hope can go, but nc is kinda far...</p>
<p>I got it too. Swoopes-yea they have accepted student weekends later. For now lets go URMs. Hope i can get down for it. Seems like it will be a good experience and taste of what student life is really like</p>
<p>what do u do during this program. its gonna b kinda expensive and inconvenient for me to travel from nj to nc, is it worth the gas money and hotel for my parents.</p>
<p>can anyone who went in past years say what they did.</p>
<p>Collegebound, I don't know anything about this specific program but when I was about to begin college, my university had a similar program. It was burdensome to get to but started my college career out on the right foot. I met people, learned about academic programs, got a feel for the campus, learned the geography. I didn't go with my parents. Granted I don't know your situation, but is there any possibility of going alone to reduce your costs?</p>
<p>I got this, for Feb 19-20…it says “learn more in the invitation included with your admissions letter”…
eep im so nervous. oh well.</p>
<p>Did it just show up today?</p>
<p>everytime I hit “view events” in my event portal, a screen comes up that says Connect Carolina but there is no explanation and the only option on the screen in to log out of MyUNC
what does that mean? =/</p>
<p>I got an invite in the mail as well!!! Woo Hoo!</p>
<p>It does not show up in my portal and in the invitation it uses the name Connect Carolina and Explore Carolina</p>
<p>Are all of you minorities?</p>
<p>yep
i think the event is just for minorities…
but dont quote me on that, im cant remember where exacty i heard that fact from</p>
<p>Aww I’m just white…</p>
<p>I’m a minority, and it says that it is for “outstanding students from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds”.</p>
