2

<p>good choice b/c me and wash u are officially divorced. well, not officially, but we aren't really talking at the moment. oh and good luck at emory!</p>

3

<p>Its a reach since grades are important, but go for it!</p>

4

<p>im sure you can come on campus dec 17-22nd, but its finals week so some kids might already be home, also, you might get a wrong impression of the school since the students look all stressed right now and everyone is pretty much camped out in the library</p>

5

<p>Any chance you can visit for a day in January when classes start? This way you can sit in on a class, etc.....</p>

<p>You are applying ED so you have demonstrated interest. On the other hand, I guess you are visiting after you apply.</p>

6

<p>that case is probably better, cuz i can visit during the middle of january, and ed2 comes out on feb 1st or something</p>

<p>in any case, are there any like, comments on my stats??</p>

7

<p>Good idea Kenneth. Might as well see the campus when it is in session as opposed to being empty. The tour and info session do not take long and you will have plenty of time to see the entire campus in 1 day. Good luck!</p>

8

<p>hey i too switched from washu to emory...but for ed 1.
if i don't get in ed 1 at emory...washu here i come!!!...well for ed2 that is lol.</p>

9

<p>Everyone should apply to emory instead of Wash U, Wash U is sooo 5 years ago!</p>

10

<p>shhhh... stop raising awareness</p>

<p>keep it as "a diamond in the rough"</p>

11

<p>It's not even "in the rough" -- it's a diamond. I think people are just confused about geography! One parent said to me, "Oh, Emory, yeah, so she still wants to go there, even after Katrina?" Um, yeah, Atlanta and New Orleans? Not the same town, okay?</p>

12

<p>well, im definately not confused about geography since i self studied world geography ap (well, for interest, anyway)</p>

<p>and uh... wheres new orleans? does it still exist?</p>

13

<p>that kinda came off as offensive.. </p>

<p>no offense to anyone!!~</p>

<p>anyway, does emory need a school signature or something from my high school for ED2???</p>
