Yes same here rejected
Does anyone know when we will hear back to see if we are finalists? For some reason, the timeline they once had on their website has disappeared. A screenshot I took from the information session last September however said that finalist weekend was March 27-28, 2021 and that March 30th, 2021, offers are made.
Interview dates for semifinalist round look like they have been extended so I wonder if overall timing - finalist weekend, decisions will change.

I think we hear back the week of March 6th. I can’t remember what they told me but they are interviewing all this week

How many are semi-finalists and how many will be selected? Anyone has an idea?
I heard for past years about 200 semifinalists, 80 or so finalists and 36 scholars. Not sure if these numbers hold true for this year.

Does anyone know how they will do finalists this year? Will they bring them to campus? I have not heard. I did see they named some scholars this month for the class of 2024, so that is good!
I’ve heard this too, but I was one of the first people to get a Robertson semifinalist invite (at around noon on February 14th) and they did rolling decisions, and I immediately set up my interview time. I counted and there were approximately 90 - 100 interview slots that hadn’t been taken yet, so I’m guessing there were around 100 - 120 semifinalists this year. It might go 100 - 120 to 60 - 70 to 36 or something like that (don’t quote me on this though haha).
200 seems like an old number based on old webpages/articles I’ve found online and people on A2C on Reddit are saying it’s around 120 students nowadays.

Did you have your interview yet?
My D had her Skype interview. Waiting to find out if she will be invited to finalist weekend…

Yes!
How’d she feel about it? (UNC or Duke?)

My D said that the interviewers informed at the beginning that they had a tight schedule and there would be a hard stop at 20 minutes…and it was. They took notes and seemed genuinely interested in her. So, we’ll see.

My son had the same deal - hard stop at 20 minutes. His interviewers also recorded their Skype session. I am guessing they share these with other members of the decision committee.

Mine was for UNC and Duke, and it was incredible! I really connected with both interviewers and had a great time. No awkward pauses or confusing questions or anything…it was a terrific experience.

Congrats! Did they give you any idea when you would hear back re: next interview/interview weekend?
I was referred by the Duke Admissions Office to be a Robertson Semifinalist and in my notification email I was told that finalist notifications will take place on March 6th and the finalist weekend will be on March 27-28. Hope this helps.

Thanks so much. These are the dates we have in folder too but I thought someone mentioned a changed time period.
Hi there! How did they sign up for their interview? I’m trying to set mine up but I haven’t been notified through Skype at all. Any help would be appreciated.
