UNC or Davidson?

Hi everyone I’m in serious need of advice!

I was just accepted to UNC Chapel Hill w/a full scholarship, but I feel wrong accepting it so soon and without even waiting for Davidsons reply in April. I’ve only known Davidson for a short time but I feel like it could probably be my future home (that is if I get accepted-I applied Regular decision, and my stats are probably no match for the extreme selectivity of RD). Should I accept UNC’s offer?

What’s the hurry? You already have the answer “I feel wrong accepting it so soon”

@matchfit wow I subconsciously accepted the offer to UNC in my first post lol. I didn’t even realize it. I think I’m still riding that high of getting accepted. You’re right, I have plenty of time!

First, congrats on your acceptance to UNC with a full ride – that’s amazing.

I know lots of EA students commit to UNC right away so I understand why you feel ‘pressure.’ But if there is one or more college you are still interested in, it’s worth waiting to find out if you get in and much it would cost so you have all the information at your disposal and no regrets! Davidson is more expensive – but also very generous with need-based aid.

Good luck and keep us posted!!

@AlmostThere2018 thanks for the support! Hopefully everything will work out well in the end!

The only reason to turn down a full scholarship from UNC would be a full scholarship from Davidson.

I am not even sure if a full ride from Davidson would sway away from UNC. It depends on the environment at the point. davidson is great, but it is a liberal arts school tucked away. UNC is a huge research powerhouse and is more nationally known. Depends on what you are looking for.

Thanks for the advice everyone! I got waitlisted to Davidson and turned down my spot. Looks like I’m a Tarheel now :slight_smile:

CONGRATS! Now you know why the sky is Carolina Blue :slight_smile:

Congrats! Choosing a full ride to UNC-CH is a no-brainer.
