W&L Johnson Scholarship Class of 2020 Official Discussion Thread

I’m sure that you all got the email, but admissions decisions and Johnson Scholarship decisions will be released tonight on the GHQ at 8.

Anyone able to find the scholarship results?

Nope. Assume that means I didn’t get it, but frustrating not to know

The awards are posted in the Financial Aid portal, and not contained within the letter itself.

So I assume if you don’t see anything in the portal about it you didn’t get it?

its not listed anywhere in the portal for me

Same. I guess that means a no if @HankGreen sees it.

I got the Johnson! It’s just disguised as the financial aid you would ordinarily receive but then there’s a plot twist. There’s also a Johnson Scholarship Policy and Rules sheet attached.

I got the Johnson as well! Yes, as Slytherclaw12 said, it’s in the Financial Aid portal. It is also listed in your financial award gift that is sent in the mail. I can’t wait to be a General!

Didn’t get it. Congrats to all that did!! It’s a huge honor. W&L is a great school and I wish you all the best :slight_smile:

@collegebound1516, you’re a class act. I have my fingers crossed that Davidson comes up with a great FA package for you!

I ended up not getting it either, but huge congrats to those who did! What an honor!

To those that got the Johnson congratulations. You should be proud.

To those that did not I appreciate your graciousness on this forum. It shows your good character. The competition is really stiff. I hope you will consider W&L regardless.

Thanks @yauponredux I hope so too haha!

And @HigherEdHopes I’m sorry that sucks I tried to text you two via text but it kept failing. Keep in touch!

Can those of you who were awarded the Johnson please post your stats and any “hooks”? Thanks and congratulations!

Hey all that have received the Johnson: fyi, there are people who have been named “alternates” (cough cough me), so if you were given the scholarship but believe you won’t take it/will commit somewhere else, PLEASE contact W&L as soon as you know so that they can give it to someone else who may not be able to attend otherwise (cough cough me). Thanks!

@collegebound1516 I second that notion! I’ve been following this thread for a whole and even though I didn’t apply for the scholarship, it’s always nice to admire the passion you’ve shown so far :slight_smile: I truly wish the best for you.

I applied to W&L via EDII, but was deferred. And from RD I was Waitlisted, so it’s been a long time coming hahaha. Anyone who happens to be set on another college, PLEASE, inform WL as soon as possible so people like me on the waitlist or people expecting the scholarship can have a shot to be in such an amazing institute. Thank you :slight_smile:

Thanks @AGoodFloridian same to you!! I hope everything works out :slight_smile:

Yep it’s true. I talked to Nate the admissions dude two days ago on the phone (I miss that guy he’s hilarious) and he was really stressing the fact that W&L wants people to let them know if they’re not taking the scholarship/admissions offer ASAP. A simple email for you could mean a HUGE difference for someone else.

Hi @collegebound1516 ! How did you find out you were an alternate for the scholarship?

@college3314 It was mentioned in my acceptance letter that I received a couple weeks after Johnson weekend
