<p>I just got defered from WUSTL and am wondering if I'm allowed to apply to Emory EDII</p>
<p>i think that you are. you are not bound by ED anymore since they defered you so i would guess that you can apply to a different ED program. you might want to make sure that WASHU allows this though.</p>
<p>I think you are. I was going to do the same thing, but decided against it. WashU too. You're not bound by ED anymore, as what amadani said.</p>
<p>good luck</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure you can, i was kinda in the same situation as you i got deferred form william and mary and was going to ed2 to emory, but like there isn't that much of an advantage, and it washu was your first choice i'd just stick it out</p>
<p>on its site, emory says you can only apply to one school ED per admission cycle... but is EDII still technically ED? i'm confuseddd</p>
<p>The whole point of EDII is to fit in after EDI is done. Yes, you can.</p>
<p>ohman442,</p>
<p>Before you apply ED II to Emory, stop and consider your application options and your thoughts about where you truly want to attend college. This is an emotional period, and you want to exercise sound judgment.</p>
<p>I know that being deferred from the ED plan at WUSTL places you into a frustrating applications limbo, but has it so dampened your enthusiasm for the school that was your No. 1 choice just a few days ago? You were deferred, not rejected. If this is a school that you still like (and presumedly that would be the case if you had been willing to apply ED, with its binding commitment), then keep your options open. </p>
<p>Your academic record gives you a good chance of acceptance at Emory through RD, with no significant advantage by applying ED II. The only advantage to applying ED II to Emory is that it would possibly relieve you of another couple months of admissions anxiety. Even though you have now been released from your commitment to enroll at WUSTL if accepted, applying ED II to Emory will place a binding constraint on you to enroll if accepted which is a good possibility for you. Being accepted via RD application is a good possibility for you, and it also may give you choices in April if WUSTL flips your deferral over to acceptance. Im not convinced that you are considering ED options with their designed purpose if you are flip-flopping on schools, especially given that you were not rejected from WUSTL. </p>
<p>Your deferred status at WUSTL means that you have the opportunity also to send mid-term grades, additional test scores, ECs and perhaps supplementary recommendations if WUSTL will accept them. No doubt, you are wondering what chances you have for being admitted into WUSTL from your deferred status, and unfortunately nobody is in a good position of knowing this, save for the WUSTL Admission Office. Factors include: Number of deferred applicants; quality/quantity of applicants both deferred and in the RD pool; and anticipated yield rate. If WUSTL remains your No. 1 choice, then dont give up hope so readily. Contact their Admission Office and find out what you can do to boost your candidacy for admission. Good luck!</p>
<p>NorCalDad gives sound advice. But if WUSTL was your #1 and Emory is #1A, there is a benefit to applying EDII to Emory. It gives a clear signal of demonstrated interest which separates your application from the pack at Emory. </p>
<p>WUSTL admissions have become ridiculously selective in the last few years. They seem to waitlist or reject everyone who has not visited unless you offer some unique attribute. Emory seems headed the same way.</p>
<p>BTW, the Emory bachelors in business program was ranked #4 by Business Week.</p>
<p>WS17,</p>
<p>Point of information: Actually, the Emory undergraduate business program was ranked #5 by BusinessWeek, although I'm sure MIT/Sloan would be more than happy to surrender their #4 ranking (what's in a ranking anyway, eh?). ;)</p>
<p>Regarding ohman442's sentiments, I only wish that there truly is "demonstrated interest", but I see nothing on the surface in this. To date, the OP has been posting on CC for almost 4 months, and up until the past few days, there hasn't been one mention of Emory in his previous posts. That would not be significant, except that he is considering a binding commitment if accepted ED II. With his stats, he should stand not only a good chance of being accepted at Emory (either RD or ED II), but he should also receive good consideration for being accepted into WUSTL after deferral to RD. Both schools are excellent, but if indeed he applies to Emory ED II and is accepted (and therefore committed to enroll), do you think he will then have "buyer's remorse" if he is subsequently offered admission to WUSTL, his erstwhile "first choice"? The "benefit" gained from ED II may then become the new bane of his existence. </p>
<p>As a parent of a freshman at Emory, I'm also aware that it is not for everybody -- what college is? My daughter's roommate has considered a transfer, and my daughter's best friend at Emory will not be returning for the Spring semester (although it has nothing to do with the school, so much as a long-distance boyfriend relationship). It's just that the decision to apply ED warrants careful, deliberate consideration because the implications would demand as much. If the OP has done the homework on Emory, visited the campus, and is now sold on it being his "new" No. 1 choice, then by all means, consider the ED II option.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for the help, especially NorCalDad. Your advice was great. Honestly, Emory and WUSTL were tied for first on my list, but I got to visit WUSTL and not Emory, so I ultimately chose WUSTL for ED. </p>
<p>As someone mentioned, WUSTL has become rather selective over the last few years, and I don't believe that I will end up being accepted. </p>
<p>To answer my original question, I am allowed to apply EDII because I am not technically "bound" anywhere. </p>
<p>NorCalDad: I have demonstrated interest to Emory specifically by getting the video, talking to students, and attending an "interview." From what I have read and heard, Emory seems like the perfect place for me. I have a separate college counselor who has been pressuring me to look more into the school, for he thinks it would be meet all my needs and them some. However, I am also taking advantage of EDII becuaes of the early acceptance/rejection notification. Waiting one month to hear from WUSTL was the longest month of my life, and you have no idea how much I'd like to finish this 16-year college process.</p>
<p>I will be applying EDII and can't wait.</p>
<p>Ohmann442,</p>
<p>Good luck to you in applying to Emory! It's a great school, and I hope it proves to be everything you want.</p>
