<p>Hello Chapel Hill applicants! I had been planning on applying to UNC-CH anyway, but when I was sent a letter by the Creative Writing program urging me to apply for this scholarship (most likely because I was announced as a winner of the NCTE writing award.. which is apparently really prestigious), I applied in a week as well as completed the requirements for the scholarship. I'm excited about it, and I was wondering if anyone out there applied for it as well. How did you hear about the scholarship program? What sort of portfolio did you submit?</p>
<p>I applied for it too. I won the NCTE award as well. Which genre did you submit work in? I did multiple genres (poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction).</p>
<p>Multiple genres for me too. Those 2 weeks from when I got the letter to when I submitted it all were like hell. I went to my friend's volleyball game and was sitting in the bleachers with my laptop hahaha ohh what a loser. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks! You too!</p>
<p>And I agree - I was frantically scrambling to get everything together, including the three (THREE! Isn't that a little excessive?) recs in about one weekend, lol.</p>
