W&L Johnson Scholarship Class of 2020 Official Discussion Thread

@sarahj98 are you an international and if yes from where?

Fingers crossed we receive something today!

I have a gut feeling that we will receive notifications today too. Are there any international students who have heard anything by e-mail?

Just checked my e-mail. Nothing yet.

@Raamael I’m in the US.

Nopes nothing.

Just called the admissions office to check in-- I was told later on this week we will all get an email telling us either if we are a finalist or not. Not sure if this is new to anyone, I thought I would post is anyway considering most people were expecting to find out through the mail!

@summertimesr So there will not be a package?

@summertimesr thanks- very helpful. I didn’t know there’d be an email

@SnapApp I’m not 100% sure-- just going off of what admissions told me! I assume maybe we will get an email soon so that finalists are able to make arrangements, and then a package will come through the mail later?

@stodghill me neither! That’s why I thought I would share it with everybody. I hope we all find out soon :slight_smile:

Any news?

@mew6326 nothing. It just occurred to me that they may not release anything until after school hours either today or most likely tomorrow. Most colleges release decisions around that time

Ok let me know if you hear anything!

"We have been busily reviewing your application for Washington and Lee’s Johnson Scholarship Program. We know you are anxious to hear the news. So you will be relieved to know that we will be sending our finalist decisions before the end of the weekend to the email address you provided on your W&L application. Please watch your inbox!”

just got this from W&L! good luck y’all

it sounds like maybe Sunday then?

I got the same thing. I have to write a paper for one of my dual enrollment courses and study for an exam in one of my other dual enrollment courses. That not gonna happen, I’ll be refreshing my email all weekend…

Does this mean that we will hear about our admission decision?

Apparently if you are invited back then you are admitted, but I assume that they don’t provide an admissions decision if you are not a finalist, but that’s just going off what I’ve gleaned from how they’ve handled years past.

What i think is that they ll release the results tonight because thats when it happened last year too.

@Raamael I’m not so sure. They specifically said the end of the weekend. It would be cool to know sooner rather than later, but we keep getting our hopes up and being wrong. I’d like to think decisions are coming tonight, but I’m going to think of Sunday night as the deadline so I won’t be disappointed if it doesn’t come!
