OOS is a different scenario altogether. I assumed you were in-state.

EA decisions come out around the same time that Morehead finalists are announced (~Jan 20). If you’re a finalist for the Morehead, then i’d bet you would be accepted to UNC, even if you’re OOS. It’s extremely unlikely that you would be selected as a Morehead-Cain finalist, but not accepted to UNC. If that scenario did occur, it would just be tough luck, I suppose. Applying RD wouldn’t change anything because you could still be selected as a Morehead-Cain scholar, but not accepted to UNC.

Either way, I think you’re fine applying EA, and the scenario you presented is highly unlikely.
