<p>Last year, people said FedEx was good news and USPS was bad. Hopefully it’s the same; Congrats!</p>
<p>It sounded like last year they FedExed the invites and sent notices to those not invited by USPS.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone! </p>
<p>I just got my finalist letter through FedEx!</p>
<p>The FedEx guy made it up our icy road about an hour ago, but had a package for my uncle 
not one for me. i couldn’t even believe he came up our road. I was so hopeful.</p>
<p>What states are the ones who received Fedex from??</p>
<p>Tennessee</p>
<p>Colorado</p>
<p>Got a USPS envelope </p>
<p>"I write to express the appreciation of all of here at Washington and Lee for your interest in our Johnson Scholarship Program. However, I regret to inform you that we are unable to include you among those students selected as finalists in this year’s competition. With nearly 3,000 students submitting applications for a limited number of awards, the scholarship committee faced quite a challenge in narrowing down our list of finalists. Our decision in your case does not in any way reflect a lack of confidence in your ability to contribute to the University community, rather, it reflects the unusually high degree of competition for the scholarships to be awarded this year.</p>
<p>Please be assured that this decision will in no way affect the consideration of your application for admission, nor your status in the Financial Aid Department decisions concerning need-based aid."</p>
<p>etc. etc. etc. Unless there is some serious flexibility with their need-based aid, I’m going to have to move on. I’ve got some other great options and invites to some other merit-based competitions, but this one really would have been ideal. I’m not sure I belong on an 80% greek campus. I’m sure I’ll end up wherever I’m supposed to be. </p>
<p>Congrats to those who got the FedEx package 
It looks like the USPS did a good job of getting the thin envelopes out in the same amount of time as FedEx delivered the thick ones.</p>
<p>I got a finalist letter! I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the fedex truck. 
I’m in Arizona.</p>
<p>Still anxiously waiting on a decision in South Carolina… it’s looking less and less likely </p>
<p>Right there with you, Yarbrough. Not gonna lie, I’m pretty disappointed. I really wanted this.</p>
<p>Still nothing Chicago. Feeling less hopeful after previous posters said they had 3000 applicants. I’m sure everyone is brilliant and worthy. Tough competition.!!! Plus, my sons essay was very atypical ( he wrote about rap music and Kid Cudi) yikes </p>
<p>Anyone who got a letter willing to share their basic stats. . .just curious</p>
<p>Are all FedEx mails suppose to arrive by today?
If I didn’t hear until now, should I just be expecting a USPS mail? ):</p>
<p>It only looks like three people posted a yes. My I guess is most will arrive tomorrow. . .i hope</p>
<p>I really hope so! Does FedEx deliver on Saturdays?</p>
<p>I’m surprised I got neither today and I live in northern virginia, only 3 hours from Lexington. But I assume that means no FedEx here. </p>
