<p>Did anyone else get this email? Is it part of the honors college, or is it something every admitted student applies for? Thank you! </p>
<p>(PS: I'm OOS)</p>
<p>Son (OSS) also received this email today. Just wondering about it. Sounds good but is it as “exclusive” as they make it out to be? He’s not sure if UNC will be his top choice, but this looks promising and could definitely sway him that way.</p>
<p>It targets high achieving incoming students for the purpose of getting a higher acceptance yield. </p>
<p>Excel@Carolina is the avenue to get into Honors Carolina and other select opportunities targeted, as noted above, at high achieving admittees. There’s nothing to be lost by accepting, which will then open a survey to explain options and give the student a chance to rank choices. So far, my EA daughter has heard only about Honors Carolina. Not sure what the timetable is on her other choices. </p>
