A weird letter from Emory..

Colleges and Universities A-Z Emory University

<p>It's a little old - from the 6th of January, & this is the first paragraph:</p>

<p>"Dear .......:</p>

<p>Thank you for the interest you have shown in Emory University by having you standardized test results sent to us. Your self-reported perfomance and test scores indicate that you are probably the kind of student who has traditionally enrolled at Emory and done well.
[...]"</p>

<p>I did send my SAT I & SAT II scores, but I didn't self-report anything!
As far as I remember even my application wasn't ready on the 6th of January.</p>

<p>What do you think they mean by "self-reported performance"??</p>

<p>I got the same letter and didn’t think anything of it. You probably shouldn’t make too much of it either, whether positively or negatively.</p>

3

<p>“self reported”…it could be referring to what you put on your Common App (or Universal App)/ Emory supplement.</p>

4

<p>I got the letter too, they send it out to everyone who has decent SAT scores once they send them in…doesn’t mean anything</p>

5

<p>“Self reported” simply means that you had college board send your scores to the school. The “performance” just means that your scores are within their accepted ranges. </p>

<p>Since you hadn’t yet formally applied, they simply were trying to nudge you to do so.</p>

<p>my D got it too! but it doesn’t mean nothing!</p>

<p>I got the same letter last May after I submitted my SAT scores to them. There’s nothing to it. Just wait until your decision comes out in a couple of days. Good luck!</p>
