<p>No call yet. I am really hoping to get a call! When did you find out?</p>

<p>In my admissions letter there were three essays to send in as a Semifinalist, and I got the call the 3rd and the information packet the 4th.</p>

<p>My daughter got invited, we know the school and campus well. her older brother is a junior at Sewanee and plays football there. Fantastic school, challenging academically.</p>

<p>Awesome! I don’t have any family there, but it seems to have many legacies that go there. I can’t wait to meet her and everyone else who is going.</p>

<p>So did anyone hear back yet on the scholarships? Btw, how many Chancellor and Benedict scholarships are there?</p>

<p>Yeah I got a 20,000 dollar scholarship. I think there are only 4 full rides, but I don’t know if they changed the numbers because of the price reduction. All of the scholarships had 4,000 dollars taken off of them.</p>

<p>Yes, I did enroll to go to Sewanee. I can’t wait for next fall!</p>
