Robertson Scholarship Decisions!!!

Hey guys! This past weekend, I attended finalist weekend for the Robertson Scholarship and I found out yesterday that I am a Robertson Scholar in the UNC Class of 2020!! So I was just wondering if any of you have also received good news and if any of you are planning on accepting the scholarship! I accepted my offer today and I would love to meet some of my fellow scholars! Also, there is currently a groupme for Class of 2020 Robertsons, so pm me your number if you are accepting it and I can add you to the group. :slight_smile:

Congratulations!

Thanks!

My daughter is a Robertson Scholar in the Duke class of 2020. Congrats Panther2016, you all have worked so hard.

Thank you so much! Congrats to your daughter as well!

@panther2016 Not sure how active you are here anymore but I will be applying for the Robertson this Fall and was hoping to ask for any advice regarding the process!

Some basis questions: How important would you say stats are versus extracurriculars (did you do any stellar/unique activity that set you apart)? What types of students/people does the admission committee look for (humanities-based, STEM-based, dedicated volunteers, leadership, well-rounded, etc.)? Any idea on whether applying Early to Duke or UNC will hurt or better chances compared to applying regular?

Just a shower of questions that you can answer as you please. Any advice helps. Thanks!

@Eziada, My son is at Duke co 2020 as well and is applying for the Robertson as a first year student. Would you be willing to share any info about the interview process? We’re stressed! Thanks so much!
