A Note About Emory

<p>what was in the college search forum?</p>

<p>and yea its 10 gs a year. Since i got accepted after my freshman year of college, it would have been 30 thousand + INTEREST! oh hell no!!</p>

<p>the thread that talked about all the things emory excels at.</p>

<p>right, but aside from all this great stuff, emory is cold and unfriendly and chock full of unpleasant and spoilt long islanders.</p>

<p>that's what they say. And it's still in the south, no matter how you look at it. For some people, that's an automatic "no."</p>

<p>Hey, but look at the pros. Emory is...</p>

<p>1)Highly ranked
2)Considered as a top school by recruiters and academics
3)Great for pre-meds
4)Located in a world class city (Atlanta)
5)Relatively nearby the Coca-Cola factory =)</p>

<p>Yet most Emory students choose not to step foot in Atlanta...</p>

<p>Why's that?</p>

<p>how is it cold and unfriendly?
mojojojo, that financial aid package was given to you as a freshman?
im talking about the financial aid package theyd give you as a transfer....</p>

<p>He was accepted as a transfer.</p>

<p>yeah, i was a transfer. I had to wait until june 14th (thats when my cc gets out) to turn in my transcripts. They wouldnt give me a decision cuz i lacked a lot of units...</p>

<p>i think 32 Gs is still good
what does emory rank with financial aid?
is there a ranking of the schools with the best financial aid? where can i find it?
so emory is cold and unfriendly? is it worth the transfer?...</p>

<p>Emory is one of the most generous schools...its endowment per student head figure comfortably sits within top 10 ranks...</p>

<p>I don't know where you are coming from, sexy, but as a someone from the south going to college in the north, emory feels cold and impersonal to me. Both of my parents went to med school there, and living a state over, I've been on campus several times. Its a great school, with great facilities, pre-professional programs etc., but the demographic there strikes me as being uncannily like that of my upstate new york school; rich, preppy and materialistic and overwhelmingly from the mid-atlantic. Its been said before, but emory is a northern school located in the south, and much as i personally feel like i could get in with realtive ease, i am not sure i want to put myslef in such an environment.</p>

<p>hey mojojojo69 , do they look at your test scores if you're a transfer with 2 year's worth of credits ( about 62) ? or do they just base their decision on your college grades and EC's ?</p>

<p>I have a really good GPA and solid EC's/awards, but I have pretty average test scores (though I'm an URM, don't know if that changes anything...)</p>

<p>You do still have to turn in your test scores. Although they dont weight as much, they are still considered. Most of your decision will be based on college gpa. I dont think URM status is considered, although it could certainly help since Emory is a jewish/white northern school in the heart of the south.</p>

<p>whats URM?
where can i find a list of the schools with the best financial aid?
princeton review?</p>

<p>emory has rolling admissions for transfers? since when?</p>

<p>do they offer rolling decisions?</p>

<p>so they say.</p>
