<p>Also, should I go for the Robertson or the Morehead?</p>

<p>You seem like a better fit for the Robertson than the Moorhead, but it can’t hurt to apply for both. Scholarships awarded by the university are based entirely upon the strength of your application. You have great statistics and extra-curriculars, so I’d say that you’re competitive. But you’ll need to write great essays, have great recommendations, and spin your experiences into a compelling personal story.</p>

<p>I’m a Carolina Scholar entering my senior year. If you have any questions about the program or the university, let me know.</p>

<p>You can only apply for one or the other at UNC. They changed the rules a few years ago. You CAN apply to the Robertson at Duke and the Morehead at UNC - bot not both at UNC only.</p>

<p>Go for the Robertson. All the Moreheads I know were athletes–it’s even listed as one of their criteria I think. Much better fit for the Robertson.</p>

<p>@Hello98‌ Are you at TAMS now? Because PISD doesn’t do unweighted GPAs</p>
