<p>Did anyone else get Decision Days? (who exactly is that tailored for? students who are not all caucasian?) I got four invites haha and no Excel or Scholarship thing… disappointed, kind of…</p>
<p>Thank you to all who posted stats- mine are
SAT: 2360
7 5’s, 2 4’s
5.3 Weighted GPA- 1/424
Internship at MCV
Strong EC’s
Very solid CA essay, decent UNC essay
Great recs from teachers, good from counselor</p>
<p>Do I have a shot at Excel@carolina- what are they specifically looking for? Do the letters come in waves?
As always, any help is appreciated!</p>
<p>It seems like this year, Carolina is doing a lot of recruitment-type events/programs! Decision Days, Explore, LaUNCH, Carolina Firsts,etc</p>
<p>BTW, official acceptance packets were in the mail! They really do pack a lot of information in those (along with the official letter obviously).</p>
<p>Sorry to go off track but does anyone have the official EA numbers? As in applied, accepted, OOS acceptance rate, etc</p>
<p>I live in southeastern NC but havent receive my letter yet…hopefully i will get it in the mail tmr…!</p>
<p>I’m in southeast NC and haven’t gotten my letter yet either </p>
<p>To me, it makes sense for UNC to invite more IS to the scholarship day as they have a limit of percentage of OOS accepted students. Also OOS will cost the school a lot more.</p>
<p>@warren1717
Early Action 2018 - overall 30% acceptance rate
16,987 applicants
6,036 acceptances</p>
<p>I do not think that UNC releases specific data regarding OOS and IS for a specific application cycle. UNC claims that OOS overall acceptance has roamed around 15% over past few years and is around 50% overall for in state. Obviously those numbers are going down each year because of increases in applications. </p>
<p>@warren1717 they said that 2888 were deferred, about 6000 were accepted, so if you do the math that leaves about 8000 rejections. It’s about a 35% acceptance rate, which is higher than last year I believe but it’s also probably easier to get in EA than RD</p>
<p>Accepted, also received Excel Carolina letter on Saturday. Got acceptance packet today. I live about 30 mins from UNC. Invited to Decision Days, Explore, and Tarheel LaUNCh.</p>
<p>In State
2120 SAT
8 APs, took 2 extra exams. Good scores (2013 AP Scholar w/ Distinction). Rest of the classes were honors, except several w/o honors components (eg band & orch, which are very important. Important enough for me to not care if they bring W GPA down. 
)
4.6 W GPA, 3.8 UW
Top 7%
Very strong ECs; lots of leadership
Worked hard on essays
Recs from teachers who liked me a lot
3 national awards
From a well-known, difficult public school.</p>
<p>Has any international students gotten letters on Excel Carolina?
I just received my acceptance letter, and I’m wondering if the Excel letter could come tomorrow…</p>
<p>@highbeam - Intl. applicant from India, haven’t gotten an excel@carolina yet but fingers crossed</p>
<p>Has anyone been invited to the Honors College yet? Also how do we find out about all of these programs like Excel? Email or mail? I have not received my official acceptance letter for UNC in the mail yet but I saw it online. Is there more information in that? </p>
<p>Received Excel mail yesterday. No acceptance packet yet, but confirmed online acceptance on 1/30. No scholarship emails/mail:</p>

<p>I haven’t received my paper acceptance or anything else in the mail.</p>
<p>Pursuit: My son received his acceptance packet and his invite to ExcelCarolina in the mail yesterday, Two separate mailings. ExcelCarolina gives an option to choose Honors Carolina. </p>
<p>Accepted OOS, got Excel letter in mail and email today. </p>
<p>What are some you Excel@Carolina guys thinking of possibly submitting as your top 5? The email came today and the survey is now active. I am stuck between Honors Carolina, the funded opportunities, Assured Accepts, and the programs (Research, Fellows, Public Service).</p>
<p>Are emails done in waves? If I haven’t gotten anything for Excel@Carolina is that it?</p>
<p>I live in western NC and still haven’t received my admissions packet…</p>
