<p>Chocolate,</p>
<p>My son got waitlisted as well :[ (4x now, too). You have to put a deposit on one of your D’s accepted schools. Even with the economic times, you really do not know how many students will be offered a position off the waitlist.</p>
<p>I got the wait list too.
Does the international waitlist different from yours?
lol~</p>
<p>@LaVieEnChocolat
Maybe your D got a FA package for Oxford???</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten anything related to FA… still says: 2010<br>
Emory University Inquiry access denied.
Shouldn’t Oxford FA be up there?? ahh</p>
<p>Hm… do you guys really think Emory is getting some Tufts Syndrome? I know Emory’s a good school, having applied to it and all, and I don’t want to sound arrogant, but after my first couple decisions, I was kinda expecting an acceptance. Any other waitlistess feel the same way?</p>
<p>I’m mainly just trying to get rid of my insecurities for tmrw’s decisions.</p>
<p>^ no, she also has the Oxford package in another link.</p>
<p>MisterA- many very qualified applicants didn’t get in this year, or so the waitlisted topics in here suggest. I wouldn’t take it too personally at all though. You win some, you lose some I suppose.</p>
<p>Anyone else get this message when they try to accept the waitlist:</p>
<p>There was a problem locating your information. If you believe you already have an account set up, please let us know.</p>
<p>How are you trying to accept the waitlist??
They haven’t given us any information regarding the waitlist</p>
<p>[Emory</a> University](<a href=“http://www.emory-info.org/9837/login.asp]Emory”>http://www.emory-info.org/9837/login.asp)</p>
<p>That’s the official response site, I think…</p>
<p>um it hasn’t been set up yet…I got the same message…lets wait for our official letters</p>
<p>Has anyone tried the link RobertoGonzalez gave?</p>
<p>^ Roberto link not available anymore. waiting for the letter on the mail.</p>
<p>Chocolate. We are in the same boat. S has a great stat and is from a top pub school in the state, got waitlisted to many, accepted only to his safties. It’s really frustrating. But we are not giving up yet.
What is the ratio for applicants/admitted for this yr? Good luck.</p>
<p>^ yes, i know it’s hard to be in a limbo situation… my D wants to stay on the waitlist and once again she will prove she has what it takes to win! she will also commit to Oxford-Emory( better being safe than sorry.) good luck to you and your son.</p>
<p>Guys: Don’t know if this will make you feel any better, but there is someone who was accepted over on the Harvard board that was waitlisted to Emory…</p>
<p>Emory does have occasional Tufts Syndrome. If you really did have an application that seemed very, very strong, and you didn’t write the hottest WhY Emory essay, they know that you are a high risk to admit. What you can do, however, is write Emory expressing strong commitment and a solid update on your activities, and there is a decent chance you will eventually be accepted. Emory puts many candidates on the waitlist, generally not because they were less qualified than accepted students, but because their was a qualitative concern, or a doubt concerning the applicant’s true desire to attend Emory. So you do not want to assume in any contact with Emory that you were a tufts syndromist, but you do want to affirm your conviction for Emory and back it up with accomplishments, in a polite, humble way.</p>
<p>Now that I think about it, the ‘Why Emory’ essay may have done me in. Since I can’t think of anything, I used the same essay I wrote for UPenn and maybe I forgot to change some of the names of places. Haha, oh well, I probably don’t deserve to go anyways. Good luck to everyone!!</p>
<p>being waitlisted at emory is not a bad thing! we’re just waiting to see how the rest of our class shapes up. the best thing to do is to add your name to the official waitlist response site: <a href=“http://www.emory-info.org/9837/login.asp[/url]”>http://www.emory-info.org/9837/login.asp</a>. it might not be a bad idea to let us know that you’re still interested in emory: <a href=“mailto:admiss@emory.edu”>admiss@emory.edu</a>. we’ll have a better idea of whether we will go to the waitlist at the end of april/early may. good luck!</p>
<p>mine doesnt work either…</p>
<p>I have taken myself off Finanical Aid to help myself get in off the waitlist(my parents can pay full)…I am willing to do anything right now to go to emory, my only acceptance is my local state school…anyone have any advice?</p>
