<p>Didn’t move on, but nevertheless good luck to those who are moving on. The people who were nominated for my school were (myself included) ranked 3, 3, 7 8, and 10, and I don’t believe any of them are going through. Regardless, still hope for Robinson Scholars and Pogue Scholars and whatever various stuff we can apply to.</p>
<p>Hopefully see you guys around the Thrill soon enough!</p>
<p>Moving on to finalist OOS!! Undeserving and blessed.</p>
<p>I wish all the best to y’all not moving on; you have stellar stats and are crazy high-achieving! Hope to see you as Pogue Scholars etc. at UNC in a year, unless you decide to go Ivy! Good luck in everything!</p>
<p>My OOS teen did not move on. Disappointed but has some amazing other prospects. You all must be really special kids, I know my teen was about the most incredible student and community leader I’ve ever encountered. I wish there were more resources out there for talented young people!</p>
<p>Do most students who are nominated by their school for the Morehead-Cain get accepted into Chapel hill? I was nominated by my school but I didn’t make it through to the next round. Didn’t bother me, I knew I wouldn’t make it but I really want to get into Carolina and i wonder if my nomination is a sign.</p>
<p>I think if your school felt you were qualified to be nominated for the M-C, then you should be fine in terms of being accepted. However, you really never know with admissions and it could come down to some small detail. Are you in-state? If so, I wouldn’t worry much about it.
You don’t hear back until mid-January (I’m assuming you did EA), so in the meantime, don’t worry about it!!! There’s nothing you can do now anyways, so just relax and don’t think about it :)</p>
<p>Are there any more OOS finalists out there that want to tack on to this thread? Or any past finalists that have tips about Finalist Weekend? :)</p>
<p>Hello texaskate! Congrats on your finalist status. My daughter is also an OOS finalist ¶. I just discovered this site and am going to have my daughter sign up as well. She wasn’t even going to consider UNC (I have a thing about in-state vs out-of-state tuition) but after her school nominated her and talked it up, and after reading about the opportunities it presents, how can we not be excited. Though, I am trying not to get my hopes up. I truly just wish the finalist weekend were in January! Anyway, good luck! Keep in touch. I am new to this College Confidential and am having a bit or trouble navigating. Hope to find you again. Will try and have my daughter find you as well!</p>
<p>Thank you so much! That sounds great! I wish it were sooner too; it’s a little tough coming this far but still not having anything be sure. I am, though, seeing this as at the very least a paid-for visit to UNC! :)</p>
<p>Does anyone know how important the semi-finalist interviews are? I don’t think I did all that well, however my application itself they seemed to love. My fingers are crossed for Friday.</p>
<p>We just found out that our daughter made NC Finalist!! Incredible! SO excited for her!</p>
<p>Hi,
I am new to College Confidential. What is EA ?</p>
<p>Early Application. Due in October at UNC. Allows you to get an admission decision early without committing to attend.</p>
