<p>Hi Everybody,</p>

<p>I got accepted to Yale but also got offered the Morehead-Cain Scholarship at UNC Chapel-Hill. Yale has been my dream school since freshmen year, but the Morehead-Cain Scholarship seems to be an amazing program that offers unbelievable opportunities. I've been bouncing back and forth over the past week between the two.</p>

<p>Some background info: I'm interested in Economics/ Business, but I also want to maintain a balanced and active lifestyle on campus. Both Yale and UNC-Chapel Hill promote campus life pretty well, with the exception of UNC basketball and general southern hospitality tipping the scale.</p>

<p>I have a difficult decision to make on Monday (which is the last reply date for the Morehead-Cain), so any advice, comments, concerns will be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Thank you for your time and looking forward to your feedback! :)</p>

<p>Yikes. That is a tough, tough decision. Yale is an amazing school, but UNC is quite fun as well and the Moreheads I know get to do some amazing things while they are in school. I honestly don’t know what to tell you. Good luck.</p>
