<p>I just called and they confirmed that I wasn’t nominated. Oh well :(</p>
<p>No for my son, too. At least we know and can move on!</p>
<p>I agree, @Mocha99. Good luck to your son. And good luck to you as well, @creuland! Hopefully you’ll get generous offers of merit aid from UNC or your school of choice. I saw on the other thread there were 17,000 EA applicants for UNC this year. ([What</a> We?re Doing and Why It Takes Time | University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill | Office of Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://admissions.unc.edu/admissions-blog/2013/12/19/what-were-doing-and-why-it-takes-time/]What”>http://admissions.unc.edu/admissions-blog/2013/12/19/what-were-doing-and-why-it-takes-time/)) I agree, @creuland, that is crazy! Looks like last year they has 28,437 applications total (13,150 EA I think), so this a competitive year.</p>
