State: Indiana</p>
<p>I also have the same question as trjohnson1. I got a likely letter but was not invited to Scholarship Day. Does this mean I'm not being considered for the Carolina Scholars scholarship? I would probably only go to UNC if I got a full-ride. Also, I didn't submit the supplement for the Robertson.</p>

<p>Myself, sailingby, and hello1991 all have the same question. Are we goners for scholarships?</p>
<p>Also, a second part to the question for me personally, does applying to the Robertson have any effect on notification for regular UNC scholarships?</p>
<p>Not to kill the buzz of all of these acceptances (Congrats to all!) but I just didn't want our question to be forgotten.</p>
