<p>Any Emerson people waiting out there?</p>
<p>I am :) This board is pretty dead though...</p>
<p>So make it not dead and others will join. What do you want to study? What do you know about Emerson. I haven't seen it yet.</p>
<p>I'm here! I'm awaiting my decision. Did anyone else apply for the Honors Program?</p>
<p>I'm also visiting in 3 weeks.</p>
<p>i got in EA but have to wait for the honors status</p>
<p>Zelda - congrats!! </p>
<p>Does anyone know any avg stats for Honors Program?</p>
<p>I applied to the Honors Program. Seems like April 1 is the magic date for this school they have told me. I don't know the stats for honors except what it says on the website which is a little vague except above 1300 plus great e/c's , strong essay etc.</p>
<p>My friend goes to Emerson and absolutely loves in. The campus is great if you enjoy the urban atmosphere, very similar to NYU I think.</p>
<p>I'm kinda anxious about admissions now, largely because I think I have a shot at the Honors Program and I don't know if I would be able to turn down the scholarship attatched to it to attend NYU (where I was just accepted).</p>
<p>bulletproofx, I just got accepted to NYU too! I would have a similar dilemma too...but I just REALLY want to go to NYU. Wish they gave out more scholarships.</p>
<p>The college books seem to indicate that Emerson isn't too good for financial aid/ scholarships. Yes the honors program if accepted is a given scholarship. Most of theirs are based on need or maybe you have to be from Mass. I think. Wish we had some Emerson people out there to tell us about Emerson and their program. I hear the students are kind of unique or a very unusual mix.</p>
<p>did anyone do the viacom scholars thing?</p>
<p>that plus the honors program would basically equal a free ride for me...and although my dad didn't really like emerson, my mom says that's a hard offer to turn down</p>
<p>I was going to do the viacom thing, but I ended up not doing it.</p>
<p>I didn't have time to apply for the honors program. I sthere a way to still be accepted or given the chance to apply later?</p>
<p>For those of you who got into NYU, did you apply to Tisch? NYU and Emerson are my two top schools. I want to get either into the Screenwriting program or the Film program. What about the rest of you?</p>
<p>I did the viacom thing. Was that an anyone who applies gets the opportunity? I couldn't find out anything about it generally online- just what they sent us. 3 executives from viacom have recently been named to the Emerson board and I think one of those has a daughter who will be a freshman at Emerson next year.</p>
<p>I applied to Gallatin at NYU, and created a music business / production + psychology (weird mix, I know) major.</p>
<p>My friend who attends seems to get quite a bit in financial aid, and he isn't poor by any means.</p>
<p>I wasn't elegible for the Viacom scholarship, though they did send me some info about it.<br>
I applied to NYU and was recently accepted at Steinhardt, as a Communications major.</p>
<p>i applied to dramatic writing at myu but havent heard yet...damn tisch</p>
<p>I applied to Emerson for Musical Theater. It is for sure one of my top choices...</p>
<p>Did everyone get the info about the Viacom scholarship, or was it selective?</p>
<p>I got the information for the Viacom scholarship and I'm pretty sure they sent it to everyone because I am not of an ethnic background or a first generation college student and while my family isnt rich, I wouldnt say we are economically challenged.</p>
<p>I applied for theater studies with a focus on management.</p>
<p>I wondered about the same thing above. Probably Scottie is right. Anybody heard or seen anything about buildings being connected at Emerson that makes it a little more winter friendly?</p>
<p>froshtobe-I visited last spring and most of the buildings are connected. I forget exactly how many buildings there are (I wanna say 3-plus a few other building such as the main theater and some dorms). I'm pretty sure all three of those main buildings are connected-but I could be mistaken. If not-they are literally right next door, so you would have to walk about 15 feet maybe to get to the next building. Very winter friendly. However I think one of the dorm buildings was on the other side of the commons (its like a 10 minute walk I think) so thats not so winter friendly if you end up over there)</p>
