<p>A little curious on everyone’s stats; I’ll be applying for the scholarship next year (IS).</p>
<p>No, but if I don’t receive by tomorrow I’m calling the number they gave us for Scholarship Day purposes.</p>
<p>My daughter received hers in the past hour.</p>
<p>My son just flew to Raleigh for a scholarship day tomorrow. He is OOS. The e -mail said they invited 50 OOS candidates and that they only give full scholarship to OOS.
He is also going to visit Duke while there…</p>
<p>^^ does that mean we don’t qualify for any other scholarships?</p>
<p>Kelowna, would love to hear what scholarship day was like.</p>
<p>Just got accepted for the full ride via email (Colonel Robinson Scholarship)! </p>
<p>@SweetWB, Scholarship day was a really interesting experience for me personally as the discussions were designed to make everyone meet some new people instead of being overly competitive.</p>
<p>Ah, and I’m OOS if that means anything.</p>
<p>Congrats!!!</p>
<p>Skeezy, If your stats and income are real, as a Native American you’d almost certainly get a full ride to most of the top 10 schools in the country.Why would you want to go to UNC??</p>
<p>What’s so special about a school in the top 10 of some measly news ranking anyway?</p>
<p>Your response tells me all I need to know.</p>
<p>Seriously, though. I’d like to know what, in your opinion, fundamentally sets a school in the top 1-10 apart from one in the top 11-20, one in the top 11-20 apart from 21-30, and so on. Besides networking, what in particular makes you jump at a Yale or uPenn but question UNC?</p>
<p>The monitors will insist that I assume your not a lame ■■■■■.In that vein I’ll make this easy for you. If someone offered me a Chevy or a Mercedes for the same price I’d pick the Benz.</p>
<p>Interesting. I simply question your opinion and you respond with an ad hominem attack and a false analogy. I find it insulting you waste more time questioning someone’s identity on an anonymous site than actually establishing any personal form of credibility for rather aggressive inquisiton. We’re done here, I guess.</p>
<p>Lets talk about credibility. Anyone who does 5 minutes of research should know that A Native American with top 1% scores and low income would get a free education at most of the top schools in the country. Why in the world would I believe they would choose @ state school that doesn’t meet full need?? What rational person would make that choice??</p>
<p>Well, to clear the air, I did wind up with a Carolina Scholarship, so the “doesn’t meet full need” thing doesn’t apply to me. If I were supposed to take out a loan I would definitely put a lot more consideration into schools with great need-based aid programs, so you’d be right in assuming that. Also, I like the environment and community of UNC a lot more than any other schools I’ve seen, and taking that into consideration with the fact that medical schools are generally indifferent to place of undergraduate education I find it a more attractive option than most schools in US News’s top 10 list.</p>
<p>Getting back to scholarship day, were all the invites to the February date, early applicants? Has anyone heard yet about invites to the March scholarship day?</p>
<p>The notion that medical schools are indifferent to where you attend undergrad is ludicrous.If you don’t realise that you’d have an easier time getting into a top Med. school after graduating from a top school than you might consider having a mature adult help you with your college search. Would you mind telling us what top 15 schools you visited? I’d be curious to hear how they didn’t measure up to UNC.</p>
<p>@lisa128 All Scholarship Day invitations posted on this thread have been from EA applicants so far. </p>
<p>@rebel I’ve visited Harvard and MIT, uPenn, Swarthmore, Brown, Duke, and Dartmouth, and the only one I particularly liked was MIT; sadly I don’t like the raw science element enough to attend the school. PM me next time so we don’t flood this thread :p</p>
<p>Skeez, My last comment on this thread would be to advise you to get some advise from a mature adult. If you are indeed not a ■■■■■, you really need it.</p>
