Hi everyone! I figured it would be a good idea to create this thread about the Johnson Scholarship for this year.
In the past few years the semi-finalist notifications came out on the first Friday of February. This year that falls on February 1st! Hopefully SF results are released that day!
Does anyone know if the semifinalists are notified by mail or through our application portal? Thanks in advance and good luck to all the applicants!
@Slicedthread23
According to CC thread from last year, they were released on the portal.
Yes, my D got her notification through the portal last year. I think it came out around 8 pm EST.
Did anyone else get a message from a dean? He contacted me today congratulating me on my academic excellence and wants to set up a phone call to chat about my academic interests with me. Does anyone know what this could mean?
@yerrey910 did you get a phone call?
Have there been any updates to confirm the finalists will be announced Friday?
I’ll call admissions tomorrow to check. Anyone know: what’s the weekend if you’re a semifinalist?
@L2019mom Not positive but previous years have suggested it will most likely be the weekend of March 9th
Weekend is Sunday-Tuesday, march 3-5th I think. If you call, ask for Scotty. (note, we have not been notified, but I called to find out anyhow).
Hmm. I also called W&L admissions a week or two ago and the individual who answered (was not Scotty) had told me that it would be Sat March 2 through Mon the 4th.
But I really hope it is actually Sunday-Tuesday, the March 3-5 because my D is also invited to Trinity Tower day on Sat March 2.
My DS just received an email saying the Johnson Scholarship decision will be announced tomorrow night at 8:00
My son received the same email. He applied early in the fall but regular decision. We’re assuming the Johnson is a looong shot. Does anyone know if he’ll get an admission decision at the same time?
I have been told that you will not get an admission decision with the email tomorrow. This email will only be to notify those that advance to the Johnson Scholarship weekend. The assumption would be that if you are invited to participate, you will be offered admission. If not, the decisions will still be several weeks ago. I have a friend who has a daughter who is a W&L freshman. They were told they would be notified by 4/1 and the notifications were made 3/22. Good luck to everyone. Washing & Lee is an amazing school.
My daughter is a first year Johnson. They were told that, barring bad behavior on the weekend, they could expect an admission offer. Advice we got that I will emphasize is that you are interviewing in all of the situations, including social times and down times.
Anyone else now have a “Johnson” Tab on their Application Portal?
My son’s says this page is no longer accessible for this application. ?? What does that mean?
Now mine does too
Ok Phew! I thought I hit a withdraw button or something when I was looking earlier?. He won’t get the Johnson, but I wanted him to try for it anyway.
no
