<p>What a wonderful post! Thank you very much! However, I did not win the Johnson, instead I was given a full-tuition scholarship for students from the New Orleans area, the John Minor Wisdom Scholarship. I also do want to study Government, which is what makes Georgetown so incredibly appealing given the strength of the program and the location. Financially, I am lucky enough to have a grandfather who has done well and who has offered to pay for my schooling no matter where I choose to go. Even so, being offered $38,000 per year is still not easy to decline! There would also be some other smaller “perks” for W&L: a single room, a new car (because of the money saved), among other things. Right now, I plan to go to law school after college though, and I am concerned with W&L’s ability to compete with Georgetown and others for law school placement. To be perfectly honest, I am totally torn between these two choices, and I really don’t know how I am going to come to a final decision!</p>
