First and foremost, CONGRATS!! I don’t even see a special opportunities page. Would it only be there if I was selected for a program, or am I just missing it?

For me it is very obvious. It’s under the decision tab.
Unfortunately, I think it may mean you weren’t selected. I’m really sorry.

I’m not overly worried. Just excited to get into UNC regardless. I can always apply freshman year

Accepted OOS (International), daughter also offered a place in Honors Carolina.
Any news on Chancellor’s Science Scholars and Carolina Innovation Scholars? Have they nominated students?

I don’t think IS receive priority for special programs. IS advantage is just getting into UNC because the NC legislature capped OOS percentage at 18%.
Once you are past that there’s no special advantage for IS.
IS is included in 18% cap or they have a special %age?
How did you find out? Where did you see that?
Guys, is everybody’s acceptance letter the same? Do they say the same to every accepted student?

By IS you mean in-state correct?
Per NC legislation, out of the 100% of students accepted no more than 18% is to be OOS students, meaning 82% should be in-state students.
UNC actually receives far more OOS applications than IS, which is why there is such a large difference between OOS and IS acceptance rates.
Sorry, I mean IS(International Student).
Ah, got it, yes.
BTW the cap only applies to entering freshman, not transfers.
Were you a legacy?
To anyone wondering about their aid package, I found out that you can actually check it by following the steps listed on UNC Username and Email - Undergraduate Admissions!

Received an email at 9pm last night to log into the financial portal for the financial aid award.
