JMAN-There's no secret to the Robertson, other than being among something like the top 1% of Duke applicants. They seem to value things like community service, leadership, ethics and character more than just grades/SAT scores (but the latter are probably pretty important too). I'm not sure whether you should do the supplemental essay or not. It might help you qualify as a semi-finalist, but it might hurt you in the long run because you won't get to do updated essays for the finalist round. I didn't do the supplement, but others who won the scholarship did. Feel free to IM me if you have any specific/personal questions or concerns.
