Hey everyone! I have a quick question and I was hoping that y’all could help me. I applied for the Robertson scholarship in November and I can’t seem to find any information online about when people are notified if they are moving on to the next level or not. Do any of you know by chance? The EA decisions are coming out soon, so I assume that the scholarship notification should be soon as well. Am I right in thinking this?
From what I could find, I think that the schedule is this:
mid 02/2016 – semifinalists named
early 03/2016 – finalists named
early 04/2016 – scholars chosen
Here is the link that I found: http://robertsonscholars.org/apply/high-school/
@gandalf78 Thank you so much! I knew that I had seen that timeline somewhere, but I couldn’t find it again! Looks like we’ll find out soon…
Hi guys! I too applied for the Robertson Scholarship, but I’m not sure what my chances are exactly…do you guys have any idea? My ACT is a 35, my GPA is a 4.6, 11 AP classes, varsity captain, and lots of clubs. They dont seem to have any average scholars stats. @gandalf78 @panther2016
^ I have no clue, nor have I been able to find anything. My off-the-cuff guess is that you would be in the conversation given your stats; but that and a dollar will buy you a cup of coffee. 
I don’t know whether there might be more info available on the Duke CC forum.
@ecosler24 Approximately 36 students out of 60,000 who apply get the scholarship. You may have stellar credentials but they do not care about that as much as who you are as a person, how you drive yourself, and how you portrayed your passions through your essays.
They have this on their website now: http://robertsonscholars.org/first-year/

Does anyone know what the Admissions Referral Notification is?
@madredos the info we were talking about
Does anyone have any idea (based on previous years) when the email should go out today?
Has anyone heard anything yet?
Someone just said on another thread that the website was updated and posted the emails would be out by 11:59pm tonight. I think it was on the Duke Robertson thread.
I just got the notification by email. Semi-finalist for Chapel Hill!!!
D16 was rejected. Congrats to those who were accepted!
My DD is a semi-finalist for UNC Chapel Hill.
Has anyone else not heard? I’m still in the dark here.
Daughter received a single email tonight indicating she is a semi-finalist at both Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill.
Can anyone please share some tips for the Skype interview?
I just got a phone call saying I am a semi for UNC CH! I hadn’t gotten an email about it, apparently it got lost. Does anyone know how many semi finalists there are? what are the interview questions like? ANY information would be helpful
Had my semi-finalist interview today! Hopefully I make it to next level
