<p>Emory has perhaps the latest deadline I've seen of prestigious universities for fall transfer admission. </p>
<p>The latest that you can submit your application is June 1, but you can send it in beginning April 1 and receive a decision in 2-3 weeks.</p>
<p>Pretty cool if you end up getting rejected at some of the far more competitive schools...Emory has around a 35% transfer rate, and for males I have heard it is around 50%.</p>
<p>Since it's rolling admissions, the odds of one getting in just before June 1st are significantly lower than if the person had applied just when Emory started accepting applications. Since applicants receive their decisions around March 1st-March 15th, Emory is not the best back up.</p>
<p>yeah, I was thinking of that as well, but if one is faced with multiple rejections and time is growing short, Emory may be worth a shot, as it is the only reputable college that I know of that accepts applications so late in the year.</p>
<p>Of course, I wouldn't recommend planning on applying to Emory in such a manner as your chances will be weaker than had you applied as soon as possible; however, it is something to consider if things get bad for some applicants.</p>
<p>I'm planning on applying there, but I doubt I get in since they require ACT/SAT test scores even for transfers and mine are just mediocre even with my 3.93 cum GPA after 3 semesters... <em>tear</em></p>
<p>with a 3.93 after 3 semesters (i assume you're a sophmore) you'll be fine becaue most colleges put far less emphasis on HS GPA, much less SAT, for junior transfers</p>
<p>Dude, on the Emory app it asks why I would like to attend Emory besides it being in Atlanta and high ranked. My question to them is WHY ELSE WOULD I APPLY THERE?</p>
<p>Too bad they don't take that too well =).</p>
<p>Lol yeah sometimes honesty isn't the best approach.</p>
<p>Yeah I've been going there for a year and a half and I still ask myself that question.</p>
<p>Hahahaha. Nice!</p>
<p>what is emory known for?
how good is emory for premed?</p>
<p>I hear Emory is very good at pre-med as well undergrad business. There was a recent thread where people talked about all that Emory is particularly well known for.</p>
<p>I think emory is pretty good with government/law, pre-med and business.</p>
<p>Emory's strengths are its undergraduate business program and pre-med options, though it is solid in everything else.</p>
<p>what about its premed options? specifically?
what majors are good there?
how is its financial aid? for transfers?
thanks</p>
<p>brand, where is this thread?</p>
<p>i can give you all the info about finaid there. All the people that applied last year got around 10 Gs in loans. My fin aid package was 32 in grants, 2 in work study and about 8 thousand in loans. The rest was your EFC/Parent plus loan (if you wanted).</p>
<p>oh, and they also charge you around 1,600 for health insurance. It can be covered by fin aid, but only in loans. According to finaid counselor, she told me that they cant offer anyone above 32 thousand in grants cuz supposedly, the funds are "limited". I find that very odd since the endowment is like the 8th largest supposedly.</p>
<p>ps. you can get the health insurance fee waived if you have insurance already. I didnt...</p>
<p>Wow
how did you get 32 thousand in grants? thats a lot?
this is for transfer students?
thanks</p>
<p>32 thousand is not a lot! i thought that offer sux'd lol. Yes, thats for transfers. My efc is 0, thats why.</p>
<p>whats efc?
how is that bad? u only had to pay about 10 thousand a year for a really good school
right?</p>
<p>I think it was in the College Search & Selection Forum.</p>
