<p>Hey ladies…I’m another mom. My son is totally unaware of this thread but vaguely aware of me being on here. He also thinks I’m crazy & is totally calm. He says, “mom, they SAID they would post decisions tomorrow. I’ll deal with it then.”</p>
<p>^ Sigh, wish DS had applied for the Pogue. We thought it was just for minorities, so we passed it by. Later we discovered that it could be for non-minorities, too. But, by then, it was too late. :(</p>
<p>Good luck to you, target! Did you get the Pogue? If so, CONGRATS!!</p>
<p>Blog has been updated …</p>
<p>LOL, mommydeerest, your son sounds like mine. I’m not sure DS even knows that tomorrow is D-Day. He’s kind of undecided among several schools anyway.</p>
<p>Lady Di- yep, mine too. He seems content to go to NCSU because their Engineering program is ranked higher than UNC. But, he is beginning to have doubts about his major so if he ends up switching, I think UNC has more to offer.</p>
<p>what nice moms, my mom hasn’t helped me in the college process at all -.- she says i have to be independent.</p>
<p>All i got was an email, with an application attached, sent to 107 other applicants saying that we should apply because we’d been selected as nominees.</p>
<p>LadyDi- ditto re : Pogue— didn’t know it was available til I read it here <sigh> I wish HS counselors did a better job of communicating info to parents!</sigh></p>
<p>hhkitty,</p>
<p>Be careful what you ask for. Your mother could be hovering over your every move and REALLY getting on your nerves. We parents are good at that…Ask my son next year at UNC and he’ll tell you how tired he got of me meddling in HIS business…</p>
<p>I don’t think it was available, I think they just nominated certain people, who are then given the opportunity to apply.</p>
<p>For those of you OOS. Are you aware of the NC state law that limits the Chapel Hill’s freshman acceptance to 18%. (that may be off a % or so…regardless, a limit does exist). My understanding is that the cap does not apply to transfer students, so many OOS who miss out on the 1st year acceptance, will transfer in their 2nd year.</p>
<p>When we toured this past summer, they discussed this cap. We had many people in our group that were OOS, and that was the first they had heard of it.</p>
<p>Lol@ hola–good for your mom! Don’t think I’ve done my son any favors…he’s lost! Especially taking 3 AP’s this semester! Actually all I did was remind him of deadlines & give my credit card.</p>
<p>I admit - I probably hover too much; however, I blame it on the fact that both my parents ignored my whole college search/app process. Living through my D? Maybe a little, but she is SO independent that I’m usually just asking her what she needs help with. We went on a great college trip last fall & had a blast at UNC. Had dinner on Franklin Street & went to this little bar - it was still early - and talked to some students. That’s what sold her - how much the kids really liked the school.</p>
<p>Hover? Did anyone say hover? I have a helicopter propeller glued to my head, LOL!</p>
<p>I did everything on my own, just to show my Mom I can at least get my business handled in the real world.</p>
<p>gahh why can’t they tell us when they’re posting decisions? this is torturous!</p>
<p>Of our approximately 13,000 first-deadline applicants, we were able to admit about 5,000. We deferred the decisions of just over 2,000.</p>
<p>If i am deferred, it’s almost as bad as being rejected.</p>
<p>I totally agree ^</p>
<p>Deferred = denial in my opinion.</p>
<p>I’m going to be crushed if I’m deferred. I’ve done so much these past three years to be denied…</p>
<p>I thought it said on the Scholarship page that there were no additional applications for merit based aid and that applicants were automatically considered. Was that wrong and was there an application for the Pogue somewhere?</p>
<p>my dad said he called admissions and asked if they were posting decisions on midnight. they said “most likely not”</p>
