<p>My son was admitted EA and received an invitation to <a href="mailto:Excel@Carolina">Excel@Carolina</a>. Unfortunately, he missed the letter somehow. Then gmail put the Excel@Carolina emails into a spam folder and he didn't see them. He finally discovered the invitations on Feb 23d and was able to submit the Excel@Carolina online survey form. The admissions people said they would accept his late submission of his Excel@Carolina form, but I wonder if he has missed the boat.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the schedule for UNC to notify students that they are invited to Honors Carolina?
Are there two rounds of invitations?<br>
Do they notify both with a letter and email?<br>
Does anyone know when the last round of Honors Carolina invitations will be sent?<br>
Does an invitation to Excel@Carolina mean much with respect to the chances of receiving an honors invitation?</p>

<p>I found another post which indicates that UNC may have already sent invites for the second round. Any insight?</p>
<p>February 6: "And about Excel, I emailed the honors carolina people and this is what they said: "Invitations to Honors Carolina are issued in two rounds. While you did not receive an invitation during our first round, it is possible that you will receive an invitation when the second round of letters goes out in mid-February. However, if you do not receive in invitation at that time either, please know that you can still enroll in honors courses (they are opened to all first-semester students on a space available basis with about 20% of the enrollments going to students not yet in the program). You can also apply to join Honors Carolina in January of your first year. We will take another 75 or so students at that point, judging applicants on the difficulty of their schedule, their GPA, a letter of recommendation from a faculty member, and their own essay explaining their interest in joining." </p>
<p>Thanks, ya'll. </p>
