<p>has anyone heard?</p>
<p>According to W&L’s twitter, they just finished reading all the Johnson Scholarship apps.</p>
<p>Anyone know is this is solely judged based on the essay? My interviewer keeps flaking out on me, and I’m scared that will hurt my chances.</p>
<p>I doubt the interview can hurt you, it really is more informative than evaluative. All my interviewer did was tell me about his time there, no actual questions about me. </p>
<p>I haven’t heard back yet either, I think they will be releasing on the 25th based on past year’s release dates.</p>
<p>Along with the transcripts and SAT scores, what else is W&L looking for, in a Johnson Scholar? </p>
<p>Do they inform only the finalists students or everyone who submitted an application before December 1st?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure they inform everyone.</p>
<p>They send out the finalist letters first, then a few days later they send out the letter with regrets.</p>
<p>Did anyone get the finalist notification, I am freaking out (as if I have got a shot at Johnson Scholar)… Just want to get this false sense of hope out of my mind… </p>
<p>Good luck… to all…</p>
<p>@Specific: I’m freaking out, as well. I have the GPA and excellent essays, but I’m certain that my test scores are enough to count me out of the Johnson. For now, though, I shall maintain my hope. All we can do is wait.</p>
<p>Good luck to you! </p>
<p><em>stalks mail</em></p>
<p>S is also waiting. Do you know if its letter only or if its done by email? thanks</p>
<p>I can’t find anything about notification more specific than “late January.” Please post in this thread when you find out, so that other people know.</p>
<p>I have heard letters won’t go out until next Tues/Wed</p>
<p>That is so annoying. I have actually been obsessively checking the mail every day!</p>
<p>same pinch Danigirl162.</p>
<p>Lexington is hard to get to so they will want as much time as they can get for booking flights. Roanoke is expensive to fly into so that is important. They will probably send them out sooner than next week to give them more time for planning. I am not hopeful because I have no ‘hook’ other than I am a very strong student with excellent scores and good extracurric’s. The Johnson’s seem to favor students with hooks. For those of you that have one, be hopeful,</p>
<p>I don’t know why but I have this sort of gut feeling that the finalists for ‘Johnson Scholars’ will hear within 24 hours from now.</p>
<p>Good Luck to all, again. :-)</p>
<p>^ I hope that you’re correct!</p>
<p>I wish everyone the very best of luck. </p>
<p><em>resumes mail stalking</em></p>
<p>WLU Admissions twitter feed says that letters are going out tomorrow…</p>
<p>Secretly wish I had a twitter to aid my new WLU stalking hobby. </p>
<p>Especially because i need to know this week if I am a finalist because I am supposed to be in math competition that weekend, and I have to know if I can attend or not. If the mail really is going out tomorrow do you think I could call and find out?</p>
<p>Danigirl- you can read the Twitter feeds on their admissions website. Good luck everyone!</p>
