Robertson Scholars Leadership Program -Duke 2025

I haven’t seen a thread for this yet! Some semi-finalist decisions for Robertson came out today so I wanted a place where we could all chat about the process! Congrats to everyone : )

Semifinalist at Duke here - congrats to all the other semifinalists!

Does anyone know if being a semifinalist means we’ve been accepted to the school itself? I’ve seen some Reddit threads saying Robertson semifinalist for Duke = accepted at Duke, but I don’t want to get too hopeful too quickly.

Do you think that they will continue to release decisions throughout this week? or are they all out?

IDK. They said decisions will be released on a rolling basis throughout the week so I figure they’ll stick to that, otherwise they could’ve said Sunday release date. But I finished my app like a day before the deadline and my last name starts with W so IDK what they are using to order “rolling” lol

Congrats!! I got duke too! And I was literally wondering the same thing.
For Robertson, I think the committee is completely separate from admissions but maybe it’s a sign. Bc why would you make it through the rounds and not be admitted :tired_face:that would be terrible ahaha

They did say they would come out the 14th-20th so maybe some are still coming out!

Is there a chance if they come out later, you won’t be accepted? Also, how many semifinalists are chosen?

do semifinalists hear back first? Anyone have any insight?

How did they notify you?

I got an email yesterday at around noon.

do people who weren’t selected get notified too?

also, just another question; does “rolling” basis mean that those who submitted their applications earlier hear back first? or are they just informing those who have been accepted first?

Good question! (For reference, I got semi-finalist for duke and heard on Sunday) I submitted Robertson like a few minutes before the deadline back in November, so I’m not sure if it’s the first option you said based off that

i’m guessing that they’re saving the rejection email for the last day

Has anyone received their decision already and it was a rejection?

Has anyone been rejected yet or are we all getting rejected tomorrow?? :joy:
