Does anyone know if the students who are considered for the Chancellor’s Science Scholars, Pogue Scholars are already notified or not?

I was admitted oos but unsure about scholarships. Does anyone know if scholarship notifications were included in the acceptance letter?

Does creating an oyen mean I am accepting my admission to unc?
There is a separate section that says “special offers.” Open that (if you have it). The honors letter is in there. I’m assuming that’s where scholarships would also be, but we didn’t see it, so assuming he didn’t get one.
So when you click on special programs there is nothing there?

If by scholarship you mean one of the special programs you applied to while applying to UNC,then you should have your special program decision as well. If it’s another scholarship that is not a special program, i don’t know.

It is in the special programs section in the portal.
Same thing happened to both my kids. There are tons of OOS schools who will give full rides and/or very large merit awards to students with those stats. I know because my oldest took advantage of it and will graduate summa cum laude from her OOS flagship university in another state in her preferred major, debt free. Take heart, not the end of the road.

100% agree! I have one who was admitted and graduated in 2017 from UNC and another one who was rejected in 2021 (with higher stats than my older daughter). UNC is great in many ways (and especially at the in-state rate) but it’s not perfect. It’s still a state university that suffers from budget cuts/not enough classes/advisors etc., so it has its downfalls. My younger daughter is at a state university in another state and her ability to get classes and advising has far exceeded my older daughter’s experience at UNC.
@carterhildreth - with your stats, you will thrive at whatever university you land at! There’s nothing more you could have done - at this point, it’s pretty much a crapshoot…

My daughter chose Clemson over UNC-Chapel Hill for nursing exactly because she could do direct admit at Clemson but not UNC. That’s why I was confused about some people saying they got in for a certain major. It sounds like the only direct admit that UNC offers is for the business school and only a few get in? Is that correct? My son just chose economics as his major on his UNC application but isn’t truly decided (however, probably not business).

He’s a little disappointed from the sake of pride……But he already received his appointment to West Point and that’s where he has always wanted to go.

Congrats on that appointment! My son is waiting to hear from both West Point and Naval Academy (He started later getting his stuff together). Pins and needles!
Those are also his top picks.

Yes. Nursing is especially crazy because there is a shortage of nurses, yet you first have to make incredible grades to get in UNC, then compete against other incredible students to get in that school. I know it comes down to supply/demand and lack of spots for clinicals, etc. but I know someone who was accepted to UNC and ECU and chose ECU because they felt it was a better bet to get into their major.

Does anyone have any idea if there is ever any movement with the number of kids who are waitlisted to UNC?

Typically only 3-4% get off the waitlist. And by the time you do, you are so far down the housing registration oath with another school it’s almost not worth it.

Depends on oos vs instate.
FWIW, from a UNC sports site…it read like a decent number of OOS waitlist kids eventually make it and not so much instate kids. I’m guessing its because the OOS admits are usually pretty good students that got into some other top schools and chose that option, whereas for many instate admits UNC is their top choice (combination of cost and quality…the in-state rate is one of the best deals in academia).
