<p>I got it. I got into Honors Carolina but no Scholarship Day invite.</p>

<p>I got it. I got into Honors Carolina but no Scholarship Day invite.</p>

<p>Same - Honors College/no scholarship</p>

<p>I got it. No Honors and no scholarship invite. OOS.</p>

<p>Did not get it =/ what was inside?</p>

<p>Dang. Didn’t get it but maybe shouldn’t have expected anything because no honors or scholarship day. I love unc but I wish they’d try harder to sell themselves to me haha.</p>

<p>Son got it. He’s Honors Carolina and Scholarship day.</p>

<p>It wasn’t an envelope in the mail. It should have come via email.</p>

<p>Got it UVA - but what was inside the email? If you don’t mind me asking.</p>

<p>It just invited you to apply to a few different programs: assured enrollment in journalism, assured business, first year fellows, study abroad funding, etc.
I got it, but didn’t get honors/scholarship at all, so that’s why I wondered.</p>

<p>Thanks Goldy. I guess I’m out of the running for assured enrollment in business then =/</p>

<p>What is admission rate for business vs journalism? How special is it to be given any one of the opportunities in the email:</p>

<ol>

</ol>

<p>Assured enrollment in the b school is likely more valuable than assured enrollment in the j school.</p>

<p>No. 3 and No. 4 are sweet summer opportunities.</p>

<p>On No. 6, being able to take a couple of journalism classes early gives you broader choices later and lets you get a head start in some skills, especially if you want to work at the school paper/website or digital newsroom.</p>

<p>(From a parent of a UNC junior).</p>

<p>Has anyone heard back from this? IIRC, the reply date was April 1.</p>

<p>No! They said “on or around April 1st,” so I’m guessing they mailed it out today? I didn’t get anything, so I’m hoping that’s the case, haha.</p>

<p>I was Scholarship Day / Honors College, by the way.</p>

<p>Nothing new is in my inbox currently… maybe later today? </p>

<p>I got invitation to Honors Carolina, but no scholarship is offered… - -</p>

<p>Has anybody heard back about this? An email or letter or something?</p>

<p>My son has not heard anything yet.</p>
