<p>So far, I haven’t heard anything about anyone hearing from the Robertson people yet. This is a thread to post on if any 2017 kids hear anything!</p>

<p>just stumbled upon this today. I applied too, and I’m just guessing no active cc users got it?</p>
<p>it was definitely shocking to find out that they came out a month ago. maybe that’s just for international students?</p>
<p>I am not sure that people have been notified…</p>
<p>i saw this post recently on the Robertston site, I don’t remember it there before:</p>
<p>[Robertson</a> Scholars: Homepage](<a href=“http://www.robertsonscholars.org/]Robertson”>http://www.robertsonscholars.org/)</p>
<p>also, the girl in the article talks about being nominated, and this year I thought was the first year that you didn’t have to be nominated?</p>
<p>she also mentions going through an interview, one which it appears to be with current robertson scholars. very confused by this, as the robertson website makes it clear that scholars are not chosen until after the weekend in april.</p>

<p>turns out that there’s a totally different process directing kids from African Leadership Academy into the scholars program. whoops.</p>
<p>I was talking to one of the people on the Robertson committee via Facebook, and she said that all applicants will be notified of their application status by some time in early March. So that can mean any time from now to March. So far none of the people in the Duke ED 2017 group have said anything…so I don’t think any decisions have been released. Yet.</p>
<p>Reckon we’ll hear this week??</p>
<p>Probably haha…phone interviews are supposed to be March 6-8. I’m so nervous!!</p>
<p>Me too. Wow that’s soon…
Reckon they’re telling us if we don’t get it. Could be awkward if I just keep waiting for the email :)</p>
<p>I just called, and the person there said that they’d be notifying everyone - semifinalist or not - starting tomorrow and through Friday.</p>
<p>Oh my gosh! You are AWESOME! Thanks for doing that! I didn’t want to be “that guy”…hahaha but thanks! Best of luck to you :)</p>
<p>Does anyone know, do they notify about Duke and UNC Chapel Hill separately, or will they send notification about the schools in one email together?</p>
<p>I received a email notification earlier this evening about the Robertson (5:45 EST). For what it’s worth, I applied to both schools, and the email was “for the Robertson Scholars Leadership Program at Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.” So they are coming out-- good luck, y’all. (:</p>
<p>Meh, my email only mentioned Chapel Hill. I assumed they would send notification about each school separately, but I guess not?</p>
<p>Mine only mentioned Chapel Hill also</p>
<p>Mine mentioned both. But it was sent from a duke email. Was yours sent from a Duke email?</p>
<p>@Seriwe and purpleacorn, I assume you guys are semifinalists then? Did they send “acceptance” first and then “rejection” later?</p>
<p>Mine was sent from a Duke email, yeah… Oh well, kinda disappointing. I wasn’t really interested in the scholarship unless it was Duke. For those who made the cut at Duke, what did your leadership experience look like, out of curiosity?</p>
<p>@tryout I assume they’ll send rejection later this week, but I don’t know for sure. I imagine all the acceptances are being sent out tonight. I received mine about 2 hours after PurpleAcorn’s.</p>
