Man, I wish UNC made decisions faster. I absolutely love the school, but probably it’ll cost me enough more than Ohio State (where I’m in state) that it wouldn’t be worth it to go there. Acceptance and pretty much any merit scholarship and I’m going to UNC. Of course, they don’t give much merit money, so…
@tylerperez12 i’m from south florida and applied EA 
.
@Sandy12345 Hey! I also applied and I am pretty sure my friend said they won’t get back till maybe the end of this month or mid Feb.
hi! Does anyone know if we will be notified via email or snail mail?
Hey did anyone else receive the excel@carolina email? Does this mean we’ve been accepted?
@natthecat I’m pretty sure you check your decision on connect Carolina
@caligrl14567 My daughter received the Excel@Carolina e-mail yesterday, asking her to send in a short response regarding 2 of the programs. Seems like a good sign.
Which programs did u guys get emails for regarding excel carolina
Honors Carolina & one of the research opportunities.
I got the email for Honors Carolina and the summer study abroad scholarship
This is what it says on the website about the Excel program:
Some of the programs may reach out to finalists to request additional information. In a typical year, about 10 percent of all admitted students will be offered one of these opportunities shortly after they are notified of their admission. Some of the opportunities are also available to students once they enroll at the University.
So I’m thinking that if you received an email you are at least a finalist (and yes I would think likely to be admitted). But, if you didn’t get the email, it doesn’t mean that you are not in the running for one of the programs.
Does anyone know for sure? That’s how I’m reading it, but not sure I have it straight.
So we can only get one of the opportunities? Like if we get honors Carolina we don’t get anything else? As I understand it, they sent this email after decisions in past years.
Sounds like it could be that you are a finalist, but final decisions aren’t made yet? Maybe the decisions on who actually received what programs goes out after decisions, but while they are deciding they are asking SOME people for additional info? Could that be what’s happening?
Man, I’d really hoped I was in the running for the honors college, but I didn’t get any email
I got the excel email also. I’m filling out the survey for assured admission to the business school and to the pharm school as well as for the summer study abroad. Here’s hoping the email means I’m a finalist!
My son got the email yesterday for Honors Carolina, research opportunity ($5K research grant) and study abroad scholarship. You rank which is the most important to you and you answer a paragraph on each. It says the decisions will come shortly after the admissions decision. Deadline to reply is Jan 9.
Was this at a regular email or a UNC related email?
How do you set up your UNC email
does anyone know when decisions are released?
