<p>Got the email today. Finally!</p>
<p>I got wait listed too, 30 on my ACT, 2000 on my SAT. I would play soccer for Emory, and am involved in tons of service based activities and leadership activities. For example: Captain of 2 Varsity sports, Student Council Secretary, Initiated a school wide drive to buy coats for less fortunate kids, and I am the head of many other clubs… I don’t know why I was wait listed… I also was wait listed at Notre Dame :(</p>
<p>thanks class of 2015 for all your motivation</p>
<p>^thanks – I feel for all of you. It’s very trying, emotionally.</p>
<p>April 28 2011 is when my daughter got “the call”. It was late in the day (after 5:00) and it went like this: “Hi I’m calling from Emory and I see you agreed to be on the waitlist and we were wondering you would accept a spot if you were offered one.”
I don’t think the guy even finished the sentence before D was screaming YES.</p>
<p>I really hope it happens for all of you.</p>
<p>Thought I would post this info from Emory about Admission info for Class of 2016. Good luck to those on the waitlist that really want to go to Emory. I hope students that were offered admission and want to go somewhere else, notify Emory soon to decline their offer. It would be great to have people like you who really want to go to Emory get off the waitlist. Good luck to all! </p>
<p>Emory University Selects Class of 2016</p>
<p>April 6, 2012</p>
<p>Emory University’s undergraduate divisions for first year students Emory College of Arts and Sciences and Oxford College have made admissions decisions for the Class of 2016.</p>
<p>Emory College of Arts & Sciences, Emory’s main undergraduate division, offered admission to 4,539 students for the Class of 2016. The students were chosen from an all-time record number of 17,502 applications. The admission rate is down slightly from last year, to 26 percent.</p>
<p>The academically competitive student pool is highly diverse geographically and ethnically. Offers of admission to Hispanic/Latino students, and to international students, are up significantly.</p>
<p>While most students hale from the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, there were increases in offers of admission to those who live in the West, New England and other areas of the country. More than 12 percent are international students.</p>
<p>Accepted students are 59 percent female, 41 percent male, and 61 percent come from public schools.</p>
<p>The class continues the Emory tradition of strong academic preparation: the average (mean) admitted student has an A/A- unweighted high school GPA, is higher than the 95th percentile in his or her class, and has scored more than 700 on individual SAT sections.</p>
<p>Oxford College, the university’s distinctive freshman/sophomore college situated on Emory’s original, historic campus 38 miles east of Atlanta, admitted 2,547 students to its 2012 entering class. These successful applicants came from a pool of 6,478 students the largest number of total applications in Oxford’s history and up 50 percent over 2011 applications. The class also was the most academically competitive to date.</p>
<p>Of those admitted, 40 percent are male, 60 percent female. About 16 percent are international students, 44 percent are from the Southeast and the remainder come from all areas of the country.</p>
<p>Students have until May 1 to make deposits and finalize their enrollment decisions.</p>
<p>I most likely will be declining their offer of admission, so good luck to those on the waitlist!</p>
<p>Am a Kenyan waitlisted by Emory and applied to Oxford college.What are my chances of admission?And if am admitted,do I stand a chance of getting FA?I really would love to join Emory</p>
<p>it’s weird how someone can get into a top school yet get rejected or waitlisted at a lower-ranked school. in my case, i got into penn and waitlisted at emory. and emory was higher on my list so it’s frustrating.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what we should fill out for the ‘code’ section right at the very end before we submit the waitlist response? I’m really confused…any help would be appreciated! Thanks guys.</p>
<p>Does anyone know more information about the waitlist situation? If they will be going to it or not?</p>
<p>I don’t know if anyone on this forum would know that, but this time last year, my daughter’s GC called Emory and was told they might go to it. Nothing more real than that. You might ask your GC to reach out to Emory about the WL and see if they can get something concrete.</p>
<p>i would love to know as well. i have called my admissions counselor twice and both times those calls went unanswered to voicemail.</p>
<p>I have no idea about the waitlist but when we visited the adcom said that the ED admit rate was very high this year so that may affect the waitlist. Don’t remember the exact question but it had something to do with how many come off the waitlist. He said one year 150 ( I think that was the number - it was high) and some years they don’t go to WL. Then he made the statement about this years acceptances and said he wasn’t sure how that would affect the WL. </p>
<p>Good luck to those waiting to hear.</p>
