My interviewer told me when he did the program everyone who was selected as a finalist was accepted to the school. The admissions officers unofficially tell the finalists when they are on campus for the competition.
I’ve heard that if you’re a finalist, you’re accepted to the school. If you’re not, you’re not rejected (at least not yet) and you have to wait for your admissions decision. Does that sound about right?
I called them and asked this. If you are a finalist, you are guranteed an admission.
And yes true. Lets just say. Sunday it is.
Wait so are you saying that when you called they said Sunday? Or is that just your guess?
@Cdeluca16 They emailed saying we’d know by the end of the weekend. We’re saying Sunday so we don’t get our hopes up tonight and tomorrow!
^ I am practicing the same method to achieve the minimal amount of disappointment this weekend. I have 3 other results coming in over the next 7 days.
Just got my email and didn’t get it 
Hope the rest of you have better luck!
Yep. Email’s out
I’M SO HAPPY I’M CLOSE TO TEARS YAY
Haha laughed at the part when they talk about being driving distance–I’m from CA
Congrats to all that are finalists! Good luck, everyone!!
I’m a finalist too! I’m reading the email and this finalist weekend sounds so intimidating.
Seriously @Slytherclaw12 I’m so excited and so terrified at the same time! What state are you from?
I’m a finalist as well!! I am honestly in disbelief!
@collegebound1516 Right here in Virginia! I live two hours away so it’s definitely within driving distance haha.
Hey guys so I’m a finalist for the Johnson Scholarship competition, but when I try to accept my place in the competition on campus via the online portal, it says that I do not meet the criteria (i.e. that I am not a finalist). I got the email so I’m confused? Let me know if someone else has this problem.
@Slytherclaw12 haha nice! I’m so excited to visit again, get me out of CA!!
@HigherEdHopes congrats!
registering on the website works for me … not sure what problem you’re having; I’d email your regional admissions counselor
@ineedhelp16 I’m having the same problem. I sent an email, so I’ll let you know what I hear back.
Didn’t get it, but congrats to all of you!
Rejected. I dont get what they want even from an international atleast.
Congrats to you all.
My email has not been working. Is there any way to check in GHQ if you are accepted?
