Thanks for the update @Benzy50!
Assuming notification by email???
@Batt01 I’m assuming so. Do you know what time?
Just received my e-mail, not selected. Good luck to everyone else!
rejected from Robertson
good luck to all else!
Accepted as a Semi-finalist! My email says “…at Duke University and UNC-Chapel Hill”. I’m assuming this means I’m a dual semi-finalist, correct?
Also, anyone know how many semi-finalists are selected? The website is pretty nebulous when it comes to the admissions stats, especially from each stage. Any additional info (how many applicants, how many semis, finalists, etc.) would be greatly appreciated!
Semifinalist for Duke! This means that I made it into Duke, right (even if I don’t get it in the end)?
Son was rejected. Congrats to all who were selected. This one is hard to take.
My DD was rejected. This is turning out to be a very disappointing week at our house.
Rejecto too. Same feeling here CoMoMom.
Yup! Son was rejected : ( . … Hopefully the Foundation Fellows works out this week end. It’s his top choice. Either that or Richmond Scholars. I am feeling like The Vanderbilt and Rice Scholarships won’t pan out either. And we always have Univ. of Oklahoma with the NMF scholarship, so I guess we are pretty lucky… Good luck to everyone!
Semi-finalist at UNC - Chapel Hill. I wonder what the chances of advancing from here are 
The good news is making the cut for semi-finalist is by far the hardest. These are the rough numbers that I’ve heard:
2% (150/7,500) of people who fill out the supplement are selected as semifinalists and about 0.2% (150/70,000) overall since all UNC and Duke applicants are considered.
Then from the about 150 semifinalists, 100 finalists are chosen after the phone interviews.
Then from the 100 finalists, about 18 Duke and 18 UNC Robertson Scholars are chosen.
I can’t remember where I found this, so I can’t provide a source for this. But CONGRATULATIONS to all semifinalists! I hope I get to meet you all in a few weeks 
I’m a people person and strong interviewer - hoping I made it through the hardest part already!
“The deadline to submit an application is Thursday, February 26, 2015.” This is for the ‘Admissions Referral’ way to apply. Does this mean that one must be sent an email from Duke in order to apply until Feb 26? I am quite confused
The Robertson Scholars application site https://www.applywithease.com/robertson_scholars/ explains: “The application for admissions referral candidates is currently open. Each year, the Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill undergraduate admissions offices refer strong candidates to the Robertson Program. … If you are referred to the Robertson Program through this process, we will contact you in February with further details. Only admissions referral candidates are eligible to apply through this process. The deadline is Thursday, February 26, 2015.
Contact selection@robertsonscholars.org with any questions.”
Hi guys, got through to the semifinals for Duke. Does anyone know the nature of the interviews that will take place?
I’m a semifinalist for Duke too! Does this mean that we’re accepted RD?
^ ^ ^ ^
That’s a VERY safe bet.
