<p>Well the Johnson is merit. We didn’t qualify at other schools for need based on FAFSA but W&L gave us some work study. Not much, but you never know.</p>
<p>wnlmaybe: they said that they aren’t sending e mails to anybody… looks like we all have to wait for snail mail.
Do you guys think we’ll know by the end of this week or do we have to wait until Monday?</p>
<p>Oh, that’s good to know, I’ve been checking my email every 5 seconds. I would think it would at least Monday before we find out unfortunately.</p>
<p>this is the most painful wait ever</p>
<p>I’ve heard by the end of January at the latest, so I’d think that if they mailed them out on Thursday, people could get them Monday or so… I’ve been checking my email every 5 seconds or so too, now I know I just need to stalk the mailman haha</p>
<p>Mbdarbin-This is definitely the most painful wait in history.
And hopefully they get them mailed today, I haven’t seen anything on their twitter feed about it though. Just another thing I’ve been stalking til we find out.</p>
<p>Hi everyone. I hope I can clear up some confusion about the Johnson Scholarship. W&L offers about 40. They are called merit scholarships, but there are about 20 reserved for students with significant financial need and 20 for students with no demonstrated need. They invite about 200 students to campus for the interviews. 80% or so accept the invitation. About half of those who interview during the competition are offered a Johnson. Less than half of those accept the scholarship. They also offer a number of need based awards to Johnson invitees who have demonstrated need. Some are very generous. Students invited who do not have need and who don’t receive a Johnson are not awarded grants. I guess you will hear Monday. Good luck.</p>
<p>WOW! Just received the invite by FedEx. So excited!</p>
<p>Congrats once over!</p>
<p>The admission officer told me that the mail went out today. When did they send yours?</p>
<p>I am a Johnson hopeful from India. Do they snail mail the letters even to internationals? I have been waiting since ages! Snail mail would probably taken another 4-5 days MINIMUM!!</p>
<p>Wow, fed ex letter came today!! I think it must have been sent yesterday.</p>
<p>Wonder if all were mailed yesterday via fedex? If so, I guess no deal if it doesn’t arrive today-- :-(</p>
<p>Fed ex can deliver through the evening, though.</p>
<p>It might also depend on your location. States closer are going to get them faster I would think.</p>
<p>fingers crossed!</p>
<p>Hey, would you guys that got your letters already post your stats? Just curious.</p>
<p>i live in lexington and i applied for the johnson scholarship. so if i were a finalist, i should have gotten it by now right? my friend who also lives here got his today. does anyone know if they are snail mailing rejections too? i didn’t get anything from washington and lee in the mail. i wasn’t expecting to be a finalist or anything, i just want to know whether or not i got it already.</p>
<p>Doesn’t appear we got it unless more go out tomorrow </p>

<p>We knew it would be competitive but thought we had a great shot. Now wondering if it is worth the investment to go to W&L versus full ride honors program at in state school.</p>
<p>We are in FL and wondering…sounded like these were going out regular mail…now we are looking for the FedEx truck</p>
