I did not apply to NC State since it isn’t, in my opinion, widely known as a Political Science school. Right now, I am a semi-finalist for the Morehead Cain Scholarship to UNC Chapel Hill. If I get offered something similar at Appalachian and have to make the choice, I will probably go to Appalachian anyway. I already have some contacts in DC at the State Department and also in Senator Burr’s office. If I have my way, I would go to a university that would allow two internships. One in DC and one at a foreign embassy. I would love to live in Europe for a semester. Appalachian seems open to that option, Chapel Hill does not. Once again, very sad for what is considered by many to be the most prestigious state school in NC.
