@abc123234523 My daughter withdrew her app 2 years ago when she was accepted ED somewhere and I remember they didn’t have a withdraw button then. Can’t believe they haven’t figured that out by now as it would make their lives so much easier!
Anyway, hopefullyunc2025 is correct, there’s an email you send to and I think it took a few weeks they responded to her maybe because it was break but they did. So don’t worry if you don’t hear back right away.
Congrats wherever you got in!

Traditionally on a Friday at the end of January. Likely January 29 this year, but it could be January 22. Late afternoon.

Are there any other Morehead OOS finalists here? I’d love to connect!

How did they notify you about the Morehead Cain? Was it on the portal or via email?
They sent an email saying that there was a portal update, and then I had to log in the portal.
My son is exactly the same. He got rejected from UVA ED. Also OOS for UNC. He only wanted a big “rah rah” school. Zero interest in Ivy even though most of his friends looking at those. Hopefully people pull applications so they have a genuine pool. He has a 4.0 UW, did NOT send scores (31 ACT) to UVA but counselor recommended sending to UNC (I am doubting that). Major ECs and year round varsity sports captain. Fingers crossed
We are expecting a rejection from UVA even though he is a legacy. His cousin with slightly lower scores (34) and a couple B’s sprinkled in but still very good grades and rigor (he was also a legacy) was rejected ED last year. My son is dyslexic so skipped AP English and AP History which may hurt him. Does have a 35 on ACT. UNC is his hardest admit due to the OOS cap so we are not holding our breath for either one!
@VirginiaBelle that is our situation with UNC (we live in Virginia, so much better odds at UVA), with stats like your student’s. Reportedly UVA wants to see the highest rigor in each core area, but I’m not sure how strict that is. Does UNC have a similar approach?
Yes we were told that at our UVA alumni meeting for my oldest - he had it and got in. Not sure about UNC OOS. My nephew is instate at UNC but got in off the waitlist. He had 5 APs so in a similar boat . . This sons college counselor explained why he skipped these APs in his UVA letter. Only one he put it in and it may hurt not help but thought his chances were so slim without the explanation it was worth it given this stance. The college counselor was also his honors history teacher Junior year and history department head and my son got the grade wide history award that year so maybe his input will help?

Everyone here says it’s harder to get in when you’re from Wake County but has UNC admissions ever actually said that? Why would that matter?
I don’t know if they have but I’ve heard a tour guide say it at the school. Basically more qualified applicants apply from Wake County than they can accept. They have to have certain percentages from each county to receive funding from the state each year.
Here is an article that explains why in detail, but to summarize essentially NC is trying to close the “college degree gap” between kids from urban and rural counties. As part of that they set a goal to increase percent of students from rural counties and as there are only X number of seats, higher % of kids from rural by default means less accepted from urban. There are families that have moved out of Wake County because of the policy.
I found an article that in 2018 acceptance rate from Wake was 35.6 vs 39.7 overall state (meaning rural counties were north of 39.7).

Every state school deals with the same thing… they have to pull from all of their counties, so the most represented counties face the most competition to get into their state school

Absolutely. UGA could fill it’s entire class with qualified kids from Atlanta. Honestly a 35 percent acceptance rate from Wake County is still a lot of kids. Every state school is in the same boat and the strongest schools have increased competition from top stat kids because of in state tuition for a very desirable school!

Yes but there are lots of less competitive schools in Wake County. It doesn’t seem fair to hold those kids to the same standards as the ones from the competitive high schools.
