<p>My daughter was a Morehead-Cain finalist but was not selected as a scholar. They said that finalist make up 3% of nominees and were part of an extremely elite group, yet after all the correspondence about the most awesome family you can belong to in the world and you, finalists, are worthy of this, please come visit us so we can tell you more, so when not selected you kind of feel like they dumped you at the alter. I wouldn’t take it from one of the amazing kids who got it to give to my daughter, but surely there isn’t an all or nothing difference between the ones who got it and the ones who didn’t. Now we are waiting to hear from some Ivy League schools and hopefully some more scholarships. Surely, UNC would love to have these rejected finalists come to their school. Is there anyone out there who has had this experience and what did UNC do for you? Morehead-Cain is missing a good will opportunity.</p>
