i thought morehead cain is only for in state applicants? at least i don’t know anyone in michigan who was nominated for morehead cain.
OOS schools can apply for the ability to nominate.
For the Class of 2020, 35 Morehead-Cain scholars were from NC; 23 from other states, and 7 from other nations.
@orwellparasiempre and others - my January 26 hypothesis is based on (A) timing of last year’s decisions and (B) the general preference to release decisions late in the week so students can absorb decisions over the weekend.
My next best guess is Friday January 27.
In years past, UNC sent an email to applicants the day before release with instructions on viewing decisions. There will be lots of rumors in coming days but that email seems to be the most reliable indicator.
@jjb77823: No, you are not “an idiot in this context” or any other. Getting nominated for the Morehead-Cain is a tremendous honor, whether you are admitted to UNC or not; it says that your high school thinks very highly of you and your abilities. You should be proud of that, irrespective of the UNC admissions decision.
@gandalf78 haha thank you, I really appreciate it. It’s hard to stay confident during this process; it can be pretty degrading honestly. I’m wondering if UNC would even know I was nominated. I didn’t put that as one of my honors on my common app, and I didn’t move onto the second round.
@jjb77823: If you will forgive my presumption, here is a link to an article that I have enjoyed reading during the college admissions process: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/15/opinion/sunday/frank-bruni-how-to-survive-the-college-admissions-madness.html?rref=collection%2Fcolumn%2Ffrank-bruni&_r=1
I wish you the best of luck.
@gandalf78 Thank you for sharing. This was a really good read.
@gandalf78 thank you for sharing!
By the way, apologies if I missed it, but what time are the decisions usually released (whenever the day may be)
Ive heard from many people that the results are being released today at 4:30pm est… I could be wrong though!
Like who? @danyycohen
Like 9-10 people came up to me during school and told me. Some people were saying a teacher was confirming it too.@adepani3112
Well guess we will find out in 10 minutes. @danyycohen
I don’t believe it, there would’ve been more hype
Highly doubtful, but we’ll know in 10 minutes, right? 
Yeah that’s what I thought too @Mom22DDs
Plus how would a teacher be able to confirm?
Like I said, I could be wrong. Just rumors
Yeah but thanks for informing us! @danyycohen
Nope got nothing
