Good luck everyone.
W&L is an excellent school. Plus, you can’t beat the location. The Shenandoah Valley is beautiful - especially in the fall.
The people of Lexington are very nice too.
Hey y’all. I heard that notifications may come out today or tomorrow by a trusted source with good connections. Nor trying to spread anxiety, just want to keep everybody updated! Let’s hope notifications come out soon
@stodghill how would they come out today if they come out via mail?
@laurenlel as in they might be released in mail today
Did anyone get results today? Mine was not in the mail today.
@mew6326 nothing. they may have mailed them today, which means we might find out tomorrow at the earliest, but then we may find out later.
@stodghill thank you!
I dont think they are out as yet because I am an international and I will get it as an email of either yes or no and I havent recieved anything as yet.
@Raamael good point- if you get an email let us know!
Sure thing
I’ll keep my eyes open, too. International here as well.
FYI - last year finalist received their letter via Fed Ex and those students who were not finalist received a letter via USPS. Good luck to all!!!
From what country @Saphys
Also what are your stats mate?
@Raamael Germany & you?
SAT1 is prob a bit low for the scholarship, but decided to give it a shot anyway. I mean you never know.
SAT2s are French 760 and Latin 780.
Also, I am taking the most rigorous courses at my school (4x Advanced, 2x Honors; 12 courses overall) with a heavy focus on foreign languages. Pretty decent school performance (don’t know GPA because my school doesn’t use it), and very strong letters of recommendation.
Which major are you going for @Raamael?
@Saphys i am from Pakistan.
I think you have a strong chance with those scores and such a rigorous course. I myself have 9 courses with 4 Advanced levels and many electives and honors.
I am sure you ll make it.
And
I am going for Economics.
Wau?
@Raamael thanks a lot, you seem to be a pretty strong applicant, too. I hope we’ll both make it.
I am thinking about majoring in Classics (Latin) and maybe taking a minor in French.
@Saphys Thank you. I think we have almost everything similar. Just Sat 1/Act is the diff so I have a strong feeling that we both can get in.
What did you guys write in your johnson Scholarship essay? I wrote on this topic where you had to tell about some issue with community or school and ur role in it. I wrote how i got a toilet made in my school when i had no finances. Literally. How i worked hard by organising fundraisers to get it made. Was pretty interesting and showed a lot of skills
Nothing for me in USPS today. Anyone else get anything?
@mew6326 nothing. at this point, the latest they can release them is Friday (as long as they stick to schedule), so maybe we’ll find out Saturday at the latest? I heard that they may have released them today so we may find out as early as tomorrow
I haven’t gotten anything yet either. Let’s hope it comes soon!
