Explain "Explore Carolina", "Decision Days", "Scholarship Day", and Honors Carolina

<p>My daughter was accepted from OOS to UNC. We have not heard anything about any merit scholarships, of which I’m not very clear (Excel@Carolina, etc?). Would someone please explain to us what she could possibly be up for – and is it too late for her if we haven’t received anything except the acceptance packet yet?</p>

<p>I believe merit scholarship emails went out a while ago - they are separate from Excel@Carolina, which is a choice of various opportunities (Honors Carolina, funded study abroad, etc.) Excel@Carolina emails were sent about a week ago. </p>

<p>@mnemom, DS is in exact situation as your DD (OOS with Excel@Carolina). Since we did not receive the “Scholarship Day” invitation which went out a couple of weeks ago, I think it means that we have not been awarded any merit scholarship (please correct me if anyone knows differently.) Unfortunately, in our family’s case, it also means that UNC is out of consideration.</p>
