Hi everyone!!! I’m so nervous to hear back in Dec 15th!!! I was wondering if anyone would be able to chance me!!! Please please Emory is my first choice and I would love to go. I am in contact with my admissions counselor at Emory and spoke to many professors when I was there this past summer- I was wondering if the economics major at Emory was strong and if it would be better to do buisness economics at Goizueta, and also the aid for income bracker <200,000, if any. Also, how selective are merit scholarships like Emory Scholars?? This is a repost btw from the ED2020 thread, I thought it would be more suitable here!!! I’m so nervoussssss
