UNC Robertson Scholars 2018

I just called the Robertson office. Looks like everyone will get an email.

Invitations for the next round - eg “you’re a semi finalist” - will be going out until Tuesday.

Those not picked will get a regret email ON Tuesday only. So a few more days until this it all comes out.

Anyone else freaking out?

^Yes

Yup^^

Tbh I think all of the notifications came out on Wednesday and now they are just preparing to send the regret emails. I looked at a Duke thread and apparently people have already had their semi finalist interviews which makes me not so hopeful :frowning: This has been such a rough week for me

@Darius13 that’s what I think too. Oh well. Keep your chin up, everyone, we will all end up somewhere great!

@Darius13 Tell me about it. I was deferred In-State to both UNC and NC State. All with a 29 ACT, 500+ volunteer hours, National Awards of Merit, etc… Still haven’t heard anything from Robertson.

Ah noo guys don’t say that :((

Old saying is “No news is good news”. but I am feeling the opposite. Refreshing inbox every hour for the last 4 days. frustrating.

^^ Its been four days of limbo. Have not heard of anyone getting it other than on Wednesday, so I feel a bit strung along. If anyone has new info please post!

Robertson has consistently released decisions for semi-finalists over multiple days. This year they added a second weekend of interviews. All candidates have been told they will hear by Tuesday evening. An applicant from our school was notified he is progressing to semi-finalist round today.

@carymom Do you happen to know the reasoning behind that (or any speculation)? I guess I’m just wondering if the order in which you’re contacted has any bearing on the strength of your application.

Just joined CC, first post!

I received semifinalist status on Wednesday, had my interview a few days ago. I applied to both schools so I’m not sure which one I’m being considered for.

Welcome! Same as you, had my interview on Sunday. I have no idea how I did, but I guess we’ll see in a couple weeks. How did yours go?
