<p>Ok, guys, I'm sure that some of you RD people are wondering about when they're going to start sending out invites for this...</p>
<p>In the "my event invitations" section of my UNC portal, it says that registration opened March 4th. So, if you guys check your portals, maybe some of you are invited!</p>
<p>...What's really strange, though, is that I've already been! Why in the world is it in my portal? I'm ED!</p>
<p>does the invitation to scholarship day mean I’m in? I just checked my events and it says i can RSVP</p>
<p>If there is no invitation as of today, does that mean one is not coming? </p>
<p>If so, bummer.</p>
<p>Yes, if they send you one, you’re in (unless, that is, you start failing all of your classes or something ridiculous like that). Also, if you’re invited to Scholarship Day, you are ALSO invited to the Honors Program at UNC. I asked this question before I went to the event last month and someone incorrectly told me that this wasn’t the case–let me reiterate, if you’re invited to Scholarship Day, YOU ARE GOING TO BE INVITED TO THE HONORS PROGRAM. However, you can be invited to the Honors Program WITHOUT being invited to Scholarship Day. Whew, good to get that out of my system. :]</p>
<p>They say that they send out Scholarship Day invitations sporadically, but I’m not really sure if this is the truth or not. Registration closes on March 22nd, so I’d expect to hear at least a week or so before then. At the ED honors day in February (I got my invitation in January), the professor at my mom’s table said they knew who they were going to invite back in December… so, this leads me to believe that they may send them out at all once. I’m not an authority, though, so I may very likely be wrong!</p>
<p>Did you get an email notifying you or it is just on the UNC portal?</p>
<p>Does no Scholarship Day invite for OOS applicant = probable rejection? </p>
<p>I think my stats are pretty strong (1550/2270 SAT, 4.0 UW and 4.39 W GPA, 7 AP’s, lots of music EC’s, etc).</p>
<p>Haven’t received an invite yet and still hoping they haven’t all been sent yet.</p>
<p>i didn’t get an email. I logged onto my portal account and clicked events and it said I was invited</p>
<p>My son did not receive an email about Scholarship Day. He received a letter in the mail yesterday, and it is posted on the UNC Events Portal. We were very surprised.</p>
<p>Interestingly, he was accepted early decision and receive the Scholarship Day invite for the regular decision day. He was not invited the first time. Maybe he wasn’t evaluated for the program the first time around??</p>
<p>Robertr- no because I did not get a likely letter or a Scholarship Day invitation and I was accepted OOS EA. There’s still hope! 
(Actually, my stats look almost exactly like yours…)</p>
<p>No, they don’t send out e-mails. Also, seeing as they only invite 260 people TOTAL to Scholarship Day (both events included), not receiving an invite certainly doesn’t mean you aren’t in!
And yes, about the EA student that got invited to the RD Scholarship Day, they must have just not viewed his application in time.</p>
<p>only invite 260 or only 260 attend?</p>
<p>When you say ‘in’ do you mean accepted or considered for some scholarship?</p>
<p>If you go to scholarship day and put in ANY sort of effort (as in, you actually read the article they send you and act as if you’re happy to be there), you WILL get a scholarship. The minimum is $2,500 (what I got… eh) and is renewable. Of course, we’d all rather get the $8,000 renewable scholarship, but oh well! And yes, you’re accepted to the school unless you do something really, REALLY stupid–like getting senioritis and failing all of your classes.</p>
<p>They INVITE 260. Who knows whether or not they all will attend. But that’s all.</p>
<p>Not attending scholarship day is the dumbest dumbest dumbest thing you could do, EVEN if you think you don’t want to go to UNC.</p>
<p>Read the article thoroughly and contribute intelligently and frequently to conversation (of course, without being annoying). Think about the article before you discuss it - what questions would you have about it? Interesting points? What are its applications?</p>
<p>Most importantly… don’t be jerks and blow off the real students at your table. 
Rather than ask questions about Carolina or even act like I existed, the students at my table in January talked only about their SAT and AP scores. Rude, boring, lame, and really… not intelligent when you’re vying for money. That said I loved meeting some of the parents. :)</p>
<p>so my son’s unc portal page does not show a “My Events” headline. Where is it?</p>
<p>It should be under his “To-Do List.”</p>
<p>Did everyone get the same article today?</p>
<p>Has anyone who went to regular decision Scholarship Day heard anything? Also, does anyone know how will UNC sends out scholarship decisions? I don’t know if we are waiting for a letter in the mail or something on the UNC portal…</p>
