Robertson Scholarship

<p>Robertson e-mails are going out today, and I was wondering if anyone would post when they got one. Please post some general stats, possible reasons why you think you got nominated, and whether you completed the supplement or not. Thanks and good luck everyone!</p>

<p>How do you know they are going out today? On their website it says Feb. 24 is the selection date; that would be tomorrow.</p>

<p>where does it say the 24th? Here's the "selection calendar" I found on the robertson website:</p>

<p>Selection Calendar</p>

<p>December 1, 2006 - Supplemental Materials form due.</p>

<p>December 2006 through January 2007 - The Robertson Scholars Program reviews Supplemental Materials forms and requests applications from Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill admissions.</p>

<p>April 15, 2007 - Deadline for students accepting the invitation from the Robertson Scholars Program</p>

<p>I just went and looked at the website and it says Feb 23rd. Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Yeah I'm looking at the same thing as bearbear and vegan girl.</p>

<p>Eek. Anyone know what time they're sending the email out?</p>

<p>I think they're posted around 5:00 or 5:30 which is when they were last year.</p>

<p>i did a search - a year ago this time one poster posted at 7:47 pm that they got the email in the evening </p>

<p>later another poster at 2:53 am said they had just received it (no way! sounds like they were just checking it...)</p>

<p>But maybe they dont send them out until after hours so you have all weekend to think about it and they dont get many calls in their office????</p>

<p>I guess last year they posted around 5:30.</p>

<p>Eeeeek. I'm terribly nervous.</p>

<p>5:30 Eastern?</p>

<p>I would guess, but who knows. It's anyone's guess as to when they will exactly send them.</p>

<p>Well it's past 5:30 eastern and I didn't get any emails. That doesn't mean anything though, because only people who get selected for the next round get these emails.</p>

<p>I applied on the UNC side, and haven't heard anything from anyone there either....maybe that's a good thing? :-/</p>

<p>Yeah no one on the UNC board has heard yet</p>

<p>Every time I see a post on this thread, I freak out and check my email. Nothin' yet.</p>

<p>I'm just clicking my inbox button about every 47 seconds.</p>

<p>Yall are so funny!</p>

<p>Robertson notifications are out and I am one!!!! OMG!!!</p>

<p>Omg I got the Robertson Scholars semifinalist email! But I didn't apply for it...which is kind of unexpected</p>

<p>wow I LOVE Duke sooo much!</p>
