<p>I know that technically every Duke applicant is considered for the Robertson Scholarship, but does anyone know how many people actually submit the supplemental essays and recommendations? Those will be the most interested people and it will give us a better indication of our chances...</p>

<p>My impression is that about 1,600 people submit the supplement every year – those people may have applied to Duke, to UNC Chapel Hill, or both.</p>
