<p>o jesus.....here it goes....u know wut sucks......even if we make it through this part we have less than a 25% shot......depressing....</p>
<p>think about it though 1 in 10 of the entering class get the scholarship, that is really good because for instance GA Tech only gives out 4 full rides to their entire freshman class. and everyone would have had to apply before 12/9 which narrows down the pool.</p>
<p>when do you think we will get it, if we get it??</p>
<p>Actually Ga Tech gives out more than 4 full rides as part of their President's Scholar program. 5 full rides for in state and 5 full rides for out of state then they give out 24k and 12k depending on ranking within program. </p>
<p>I think most envelopes should be received by Thursday.</p>
<p>Thanks SCMom:)</p>
<p>ok so thats the latest then i guess. do u think we can expect them tomorrow (wednesday)</p>
<p>thank you SCmom, i misunderestood the person i knew who had applied for GTech. i thought she had meant 4-5 total, not depending on in or out of state.</p>
<p>depending on the way the envelopes were sent it could be 2-3 days or 2-9 days. Hope it is only 2-3 days!!</p>
<p>were they sent USPS or fedex/ups? it affects the rate of delivery by alot.</p>
<p>I believe they use US mail, which isn't good news for many of us. The admissions blog on Monday said, "Johnson Scholarship finalist letters are being mailed from our office today!" </p>
<p>For those of you who are in warmer climes, be aware that a large portion of the country, including parts of VA, are suffering through a terrible ice and snow storm, which may affect delivery.</p>
<p>north texas is covered in ice (2 snow days/ice days in a row!!!:)) so i probably wont get my rejection letter for a while...</p>
<p>so here's the sad news.
i had to send in my ACT scores and i sent in the 31 that I made
but I found out recently I made a 34 on my second try.
and now, i'll get rejected and i guess i'll just have to deal with the sad, sad, sad news.
If any of you already got your letters and know you're a finalist, CONGRATS!!!</p>
<p>aww that stinks miracles. but hey, maybe a miracle will happen to you. (silly pun/dumb joke i know)</p>
<p>Eckk yeah we've been getting a ton of snow here too, so that's good because I'm home instead of at my school's dorm right now, so if by chance it did come today I would actually be here to receive it and not have to wait a few days, but I think it's likely to be later this week.</p>
<p>I just got notifyed today that I didn't make the 200 finalists. Looking on this site I can see there is some pretty tough competition, but good luck to all the finalists and hopefully Ill see you on campus this fall.</p>
<p>did you receive an admission decision or get put back into the regular pool?? That's one thing I was never clear about in process...</p>
<p>hey i just got the notification that i am a finalist!!!!!! yay! i hope everyone else here gets it:)</p>
<p>Congratulations! How exciting for you! Nothing in our mail today.</p>
<p>Knight & Mesquite - can you describe your envelopes - is there a difference?</p>
<p>SC Mom... my son got his notification today that he is a finalist and his envelope had the letter and a brochure in it regarding the schedule of events. ( regular size envelope )</p>
<p>yeah its a standard sized envelope, a little fat from the brochure with the schedule in it. I was really nervous when i saw nothing was sticking out of the mailbox. I thought initially that it was a rejection letter.</p>
