<p>Has anyone received email about being invited to scholarship day? I was told by scholarship office they would be sent today</p>
<p>When I asked them a week or two ago they said that they would be sent after decisions were released…maybe they meant the letters were sent out today so people will get them with their decision emails?? I doubt people would get invites before even getting accepted but who knows </p>
<p>I think in the past the invites were sent prior to announcements but I could be wrong</p>
<p>Just checked last year’s CC threads and scholarship day invites were sent prior to decisions</p>
<p>On the UNC Admissions blog page a week or so ago, one of the Adcoms stated that they were doing it differently this year, and that the Scholarship Day invites would come out after the admissions decisions. Which would explain why Scholarship day is later this year than last year.</p>
<p>thanks mocha99…wish they would at least gives dates for those that are OOS and far away</p>
<p>According to the admissions blog:</p>
<p>Scholarship Day will be held on Friday, February 21, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.</p>
<p>Is there any chance to get scholarship money if you applied regular?</p>
<p>Yes, there is a scholarship day also after RD</p>
<p>Will we receive an email or an actual letter in the mail? How many scholarships are available for OOS students?</p>
<p>Somebody please post when they receive a scholarship day invite email so we know they have been sent out</p>
<p>Last year they sent emails. I do not remember if they ever sent an actual letter.</p>
<p>I got two invitations today. One is for Decision Days, here’s what it says.</p>
<p>The Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs cordially invites you and your family to join us for Decision Days. This special invitation is extended to prospective Carolina students in a final attempt to clarify any remaining concerns or questions about the University. </p>
<p>As a participant in Decision Days, you will be peer matched with a Carolina student who will provide information about the Carolina experience. You will visit with distinguished faculty, staff and students who will answer questions about the academic programs, financial aid, housing and social life at UNC-Chapel Hill. In addition, you will have an opportunity to attend an academic class. We highly recommend this program if you are seriously considering UNC-Chapel Hill and have not yet visited the campus or participated in one of Carolina’s recruitment programs.</p>

<p>The other one is for Explore Carolina. Take a look:</p>
<p>We are pleased to invite you to Chapel Hill for Explore Carolina, an on-campus event that will give you a chance to meet your future classmates and learn about the many opportunities that await you here.

<p>Neither of these are scholarship days, but I’m wondering if these are what replaced that from last year. Also, when do we hear about Honors Carolina invitations?</p>
<p>^ No, these are pre-existing programs (recruitment oriented). </p>
<p>My son was just invited to both honors Carolina and Scholarship day. Apparently 120 were invited from 17,000. </p>
<p>Was that by email?</p>
<p>@1415mom Are you all IS or OOS?</p>
<p>He received an email on Jan 31st and a snail mail on Feb 1st. </p>
<p>Did any OOS get any invitations?</p>
<p>I’m OOS and the only thing I’ve gotten so far is Explore Carolina. I haven’t even gotten the acceptance packet in the mail yet so I’m hoping they invite people in waves or something 
If not then I’m still thrilled to have gotten in at all hahaha. Hopefully they haven’t sent everyone emails yet though</p>
