<p>W&L</a> Admissions</p>
<p>According to the W&L admissions blog, the finalist letters for the Johnson Scholarship were mailed today.</p>
<p>Is anyone else going to be checking their mailbox every day? :)</p>
<p>Out of curiosity...how many people on here applied for the scholarship? I don't know why applicants wouldn't apply for the scholarship, unless of course you know you can afford the full tuition without any financial trouble...</p>
<p>I applied but have no hope or expectations. Average ACT/SAT/class rank is 34, 1510 and 2%. I have a 31, 1320/bad subject tests, and no rank. It was just to show more interest in W&L…it didn’t cost anything to apply, so no loss there. I’ll be disappointed when I get my nonfinalist letter but I know I wrote a great essay and it’s not the end of my hope for W&L just yet.</p>
<p>I’m not expecting much, either, because I understand how tough the competition is. I guess I’m just excited to hear some sort of news from one of my top schools. I love W&L, but it would be pretty difficult for my family to pay for a W&L education without the scholarship. That said, I’m trying to not get my hopes up because of how slim the odds of being a finalist are.</p>
<p>I applied. I’m also trying not to get too excited. I really didn’t know anything about it until they sent me a fee waiver and applied on a whim, but I really love the school now after researching it. I have a 34 ACT but judging from the posts on here, you have to have a lot more than that as well. Plus, my essay on the main application was totally screwed up in formatting after I sent it…all my paragraphs combined into one so I kind of look like I can’t write at all, haha. Did that happen to anyone else?</p>
<p>That actually happened to me too. I’m hoping that it was an error in their system. Anyway, I really would love the scholarship…although it does not determine whether or not I can pay for W&L.</p>
<p>Good luck to all, congrats in advance to all finalists, and to all non finalists, don’t give up hope yet!!!</p>
<p>I applied through the Common App, so I don’t think my essay was messed up.</p>
<p>As for scores, I’m above the average range, but it’s clear that doesn’t mean too much considering all the phenomenal applicants they must get.</p>
<p>But, yes, good luck to everyone, and congrats/good luck to the finalists :)</p>
<p>@dancepsychlove- That makes me feel much better. I’m sure they compensated for it if it happened to multiple people.
Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>I applied as well, but just to demonstrate interest. I don’t really think I have a chance. I am, however, excited to hear about EDII in the next week or so!</p>
<p>Does anyone know if they e-mail or mail the letters to students living overseas? I’m not sure if I should be checking the mail now! Even if I was to be chosen (highly doubtful though), my letter wouldn’t arrive until Tuesday at the earliest 
I’m also looking forward to the ED II letter though!</p>
<p>I can’t believe the letters are already sent out! I am definitely not mentally prepared to open it:) I wasn’t expecting it until some time around the 31st! I’m sooooooo nervous. I really don’t think I’m going to get anything, but my interview went really well, so I hope that helps me at least a little. Does anyone know how they were sent and how long it usually takes?</p>
<p>In terms of when you’ll get it, it really depends on where you live. I had a really good interview too (Prof. Knudson anyone?) but my stats are not enough for the Johnson and I’m a Caucasian female. I hope I get into the school though.</p>
<p>I live on the west coast, so it will probably be a while. Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Anyone get the letter today? Nothing in Upstate New York.</p>
<p>Nothing in Chicago.</p>
<p>I’m in NJ and I got mine today.</p>
<p>Well, DS wasn’t invited for an interview, so I assume that means he’s out of the running. (Haven’t seen any letter yet.) Not a biggie; he wasn’t planning on enrolling. The Johnson was the only reason he applied. Definitely NOT a Greek/prep-type kid.</p>
<p>But, if the interviews were at semi-finalist stage, I wonder why they didn’t at least let us know that he’d been eliminated at that round? We haven’t heard a thing from W&L in ages, except an acknowledgment that they received our mid-year report. Very strange.</p>
<p>Congrats, Britpop!</p>
<p>Lady, letters have just gone out either informing applicants they are out of contention or inviting them down for interviews in March.</p>
<p>Thanks, minoafrau! :)</p>
<p>Just got mine today. It was definitely a pleasant surprise!</p>
<p>Btw, could someone clarify if being a finalist means you’re automatically accepted into W&L? Its the first college I heard back from and I’m getting jealous of seeing all the “____ got in to _______” facebook statuses!</p>
<p>I’m just going to assume that not getting anything today means rejection is coming to my house in the next couple days. Congrats to all the finalists!</p>
<p>red guard, it means you’re in unless you do something stupid on campus or reject the offer to come to the competition.</p>
