Counselors

Please refer to the High School Application Timeline.

All materials, including both letters of recommendation must be submitted by midnight on November 15^th for an application to be considered.

Yes.

We encourage students to apply directly to our program by the November 15^th deadline. It is the only way to ensure that students receive full consideration from our selection committee.

A very small number of students who did not directly apply for The Robertson are referred to us by the admissions offices at Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill, but even those students are required to complete our application before they will be granted an interview.

For an application to be considered it must contain two (2) letters of recommendation. One recommender should be able to speak directly to the student’s leadership abilities, the second can be from a teacher, coach, counselor, employer or other person that a student chooses. A student CAN use the same letters they used in the Common or Coalition Applications, but we look for letters that directly address leadership, so students should keep that in mind when choosing their referees.

Students should NOT submit letters of recommendation from peers, family members or friends of their family.

We do not provide feedback with regards to individual applications or interviews.
