<p>=] Quick question:</p>

<p>Are we notified if we are semi-finalists on February 23rd via email, letter, or phone call?</p>

<p>=_= i'm so nervous.</p>

<p>I congratulate you on being in the running for the Robertson. I wish you the berst of luck. However, February 23 is 20 days away. Try not to think about it so much or you will not enjoy the month!</p>

3

<p>It's either letter or phone call...can't remember which.</p>

<p>20 more days!</p>

4

<p>It's an email.</p>

5

<p>thank you =)</p>

6

<p>So I got a semi-finalist email a couple of minutes ago. I thought they were supposed to come out tomorrow, but I guess I'm not really complaining.</p>

7

<p>Do they email you if you didn't make it to semi-finalist, too? Or should we just assume that no email implies... not a semi-finalist?</p>

8

<p>Ugh, I am so jealous! I'm assuming they sent them all out at once so I guess I'm not one.</p>

<p>Kmcdowell, on the Robertson website, it says if you haven't been contacted by March 1st, 2008 then you're out of the running. </p>

<p>I'm nervous :(</p>

9

<p>Me too. I haven't gotten anything else for UNC, and I was just named a U-MD Banneker-Key semifinalist. I don't want to go to CP.</p>

10

<p>I just got a semifinalist email too.
I don't really know what to do because if I made finalist, the selection weekend overlaps one at UVa. hmm.</p>

11

<p>omg i cant believe im a semifinalist!!!!!!! i didnt even apply!!</p>

12

<p>Congratulations to all semifinalists. Being selected as a semifinalist is, IMO, the single most competitive stage in the selection process and is an immense honor in itself. </p>

<p>Chapel Hill clearly believes your application to be truly exceptional and has singled you out as one of only about 75 people (out of ~20,000 who applied) who they want to come to Carolina so desperately they are seriously considering paying for your full tuition, room and board, fees, summer travel, etc. Think about that for a minute and just enjoy it -- it's incredible. </p>

<p>(Duke selects another approx. 75 semifinalists, for a total of around 150.)</p>

13

<p>I guess I didn't move on then, I would have heard by now, right?</p>

14

<p>yeah u would have gotten the e-mail by now</p>

15

<p>wait..did say that u didn't apply and got one??</p>

16

<p>yeah, the admissions ppl pluck a few from the apps and forward them to the robertson for consideration</p>

17

<p>hey you guys my phone interview is tom and i am very nervous. I want this more than I have wanted anything in a very long time....any advice for the phone interview tom?</p>

18

<p>this doesn't help much, but my friend's brother who was a robertson finalist at duke said that all your "achievements" don't matter as much from now on but it's more your personality, so i guess just sound really passionate/enthusiastic about what you talk about :)</p>

19

<p>Be very articulate, genuine, passionate, enthusiastic, and yourself...all at the same time. :-P</p>

<p>I made it to finalist yay!!!</p>
