<p>Anyone received notification yet? The Web Page says Late January: It is Late January!</p>
<p>Anyone gotten a letter yet, one way or the other?</p>
<p>Fresh off the admissions blog on the W&L website–competition letters went out today! Here’s an excerpt about the stats.</p>
<p>“So, are you interested in knowing what the competition was like? As I mentioned before, we selected 210 Johnson Finalists from a pool of 2176 applications. While the group chosen boasts an average SAT of 1507, an average ACT of 34, and an average class rank of top 2%, there were many valedictorians with perfect 1600s who didn’t make the cut. This scholarship competition is not just about the numbers, but about leadership and integrity as well. We mined the resumes, interview reports and letters of recommendation for stories that illustrated these qualities in those ultimately chosen as Finalists. In addition, with so many equally strong applicants, the essays take on even more importance, and we paid close attention to those.”</p>
<p>I got my letter today, so excited!</p>
<p>Forever, Which state are you? Thanks.</p>
<p>Forever: Big Envelope, regular size? Thick? Thin?</p>
<p>I’m in Virginia, so I wasn’t suprised that it only took a day. And the envelope was just a standard letter with a brochure enclosed. Most of the details I believe are online.</p>
<p>I received my letter today as well…yahoo!</p>
<p>nothing yet, but it does take mail a while to reach us.</p>
<p>hey tres, you are right, I am only 4 hours away in NC. :)</p>
<p>Will only the finalists be notified?</p>
<p>My daughter received her finalist confirmation letter today and is very excited about her upcoming visit to Lexington. We live in upstate NY. Good luck to everyone.</p>
<p>The good news came to South Florida!</p>
<p>writingismypower, finalist confirmation letters were mailed on Monday, rejection letters on Tuesday. So all the Johnson scholarship applicants will be notified, one way or another.</p>
<p>I am so disappointed for my daughter. She has a numerous areas of leadership and works hard in school. I guess she would have heard good news by today. The mailman already ran. Best wishes to all who compete.</p>
<p>i’m sorry, LaxerMom. 
and to all of you deserving candidates who didn’t make it.</p>
<p>I’M A FINALIST! got my letter today; am registering currently. W&L may give yale a run for its money.

<p>Nothing in mail as of yesterday. I am a dad, so even if I run home, get the mail, see there is a letter from W&L, I still can’t open it, and wont know if its good news running a day late or bad news running early…</p>
<p>Darn.</p>
<p>Dadwonders - we have been checking the mailbox and finally something from W and L arrived today. Now we have to wait for our daughter to get home from school. The suspense is killing us! But, the letter is postmarked Jan. 25th, so…will get back to you.</p>
<p>miami, sounds promising, considering that it was postmarked the 25th! :D</p>
<p>The suspense is killing all of us, as we live in California–it could be Monday before we hear! :(</p>
<p>Got the letter today! (Michigan)
Congratulations to all the other finalists.</p>
