Hello, My DD applied for this scholarship. Starting this thread to share knowledge and experiences with others who applied too. Has anyone heard anything yet from the Robertson team?
I started a thread a few days ago…My DS is in the same boat but has applied to UNC and Duke. He had an interview with a Duke alum back in November, and has had contact with admissions on making sure his information is up to date, but none of this was Robertson related. UNC said back in November, after he completed his app, that he would be notified of acceptance by the end of January, due to his application being submitted fairly early. But again, this is only for admissions and not Robertson. We are out of state for UNC.
I understand the UNC admit decision should be out the last Friday of January. Robertson results are expected couple of week after that. Keeping fingers crossed!
That is my understanding as well…are you from in state or out of state?
OOS
OK…I just saw that your DD has also applied to SMU…are you from Texas? We are from Alabama. Not many go to Duke or UNC from Bama and I haven’t seen any Robertson Scholars from here. We homeschool, which can be tricky on EC activities, etc. He has an appointment to West Point and he’s hoping to get one to Air Force, but the Robertson at Duke or UNC is the dream goal.
Yes, we are from Texas. It’s very competitive here and the Robertson award would mean a dream come true for us. Good luck to you!
Agreed…my wife is from Texas and I went to Baylor…we have a business there, steel city pops…good luck to yall
Has anyone heard back yet?
Robertson semifinalist notifications will come out in mid-February. I was accepted OOS to UNC last Friday though 
Semi-finalists have started to receive notices. My son received an email today.
For the Robertson at Duke or UNC?
on robertsonscholars.org there’s a notification for applicants that says interview invitations started yesterday and will continue until Feb 22
@gimme a name - we don’t know but assume both. he has been admitted to unc and is rd at duke. email does not say. his interview is monday.
do you get an email if you are not considered for the scholarship as well? would be nice with a thanks for your application but… anyone knows?
I think those will come on Feb 23, if I understand what I’ve read
Any semi-finalists want to share basic stats?
Has anyone had their semifinalist interview yet? How was it? Had mine yesterday - wasn’t expecting it to be basically all about my ECs!!!
@Sophie_m I heard that there are two interviewers from Robertson on Skype. Is that correct?
Yup, it was two for me
