A discussion for students going through the Robertson scholarship program selection process. Anyone here selected as a semi-finalist?
Yess, I am! Do you know if this means we are accepted to UNC/Duke???
@frenchtikimaster I read that it is not a guarantee that you are accepted to either school. I would imagine it is a good indicator if you were selected but not certain. I applied early to UNC.
@Indigoraccoon4 oh damn… where’d you see that from? I saw that the semifinalist email notification in 2008 said that the two were conflated: being a semifinalist and being a successful application.

"Congratulations! I am delighted to inform you that have been chosen as a semi-finalist for the Robertson Scholars Program at Duke University. As the next step in the process, we invite you to participate in a phone conversation on the weekend of March 1-2, 2008. These conversations, in conjunction with candidates’ admissions applications, will help us select 100 students to invite to our Finalists’ Weekend on March 29 – April 1, 2008.
This phone conversation will allow you to elaborate on the accomplishments, interests, and passions you expressed in your college application. Also, it will help us discern how participation in the Robertson Scholars Program would enrich your college experience and the experiences of your peers.
Your selection as a semifinalist for the Robertson Scholars Program means that you have been accepted to Duke University. As with all offers of admissions, this offer ultimately depends upon your maintaining high standards of academic performance and personal behavior."
Have any of you guys had your interviews yet?
I am also curious about interviews! Any information would be awesome!
Any ideas of when we get notified?
@Atlas7 im a duke semifinalist, and my person said within a week; so prob this week
@ticktacktoe How did you get notified that you qualified specifically at Duke? My email just said that I was a semi-finalist and did not give me any indication of a particular school. I applied to both schools> Does that mean I qualified at both?
@Atlas7 I only applied to Duke lmao so that’s how i know
Yo squad anyone head back?

@Indigoraccoon4 If you don’t mind me asking, are you a Duke or UNC finalist, and when did you receive the email?
Wait people heard back?
@Atlas7 lmao apparently rip
@ticktacktoe I’m a UNC finalist and received the email around 5:00pm today
@Indigoraccoon4 ay, thanks for the info fam. best of luck to you
Does anyone know if they notify you if you weren’t selected as a finalist? I interviewed as a semi-finalist but never received an email update.
