<p>Did a lot of you guys who applied to Emory take Subject tests? I know they are recommended, and I'm taking them in January, but I'm scared that they might not recieve my score on time to review it. So does Emory strongly look at subject tests? </p>
<p>Just some additional info:
I want to get into their nursing program if that makes a difference..</p>
<p>I don’t think they will for that. They’ll treat you like you just like people who want to stay in the college or go to the b-school.</p>
<p>Would be nice if they looked at it strongly, but I don’t think they do because they don’t require them like other selective prices.</p>
<p>Emory doesn’t really care about subject tests. If you take them, do well though.</p>
<p>You should strongly consider applying to Oxford as well as the College of Arts and Sciences; admission to the nursing school is now automatic for students who complete the prerequisites at either of those programs.</p>
<p>Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions.</p>
<p>I wish they did care about them. That’s clearly a way to get more students who actually care. They should eventually step up to at least requiring 1 test.</p>
<p>Short answer “Yes, if” long answer “No, but” </p>
<p>Yes if the student did not take AP/IB exams to show their proficiency in certain topic area’s, and the scores are excellent</p>
<p>No, but if the student is a weaker applicant the scores can show knowledge and preparation.</p>
<p>No matter how you look at it Emory does not place a high value on the subject tests, more on the “Why Emory” essay!</p>
<p>They actually got rid of that this year</p>
<p>Yeah, this year it was:</p>
<p>What extra curriculars would you get involved with</p>
<p>If you could make a class, what would it be</p>
<p>Oh wow, that’s interesting. I guess they dropped it because it’s a “demonstrated interest” type of question essay. In addition, I’m sure there was probably too much overlap in the answers (as in people were giving very common, almost generic responses).</p>
<p>This is from Emory’s Admission Website:</p>
<p>Question #1: Undergraduates at Emory and Oxford Colleges are offered countless opportunities to engage with the student body, the faculty, and your academic program of choice—from hands-on research to student organizations to volunteering. What are some of the programs and/or activities you would plan to get involved with on either campus, and what unique qualities will you bring to them?</p>
<p>Question #2: Imagine you are a professor, charged with teaching a new course. Emory University offers over 1,000 courses in a wide range of academics subjects. You are free to choose whatever academic subject you want. What class would you create? What would you hope students would leave your class having learned? (Don’t forget to include your class title!) </p>
<p>Also I am constantly in the admissions office and they talk about the Why Emory essay… all.the.time.</p>
<p>well spill the beans on what else they always talk about!</p>
