<p>An admissions person at Emory told me this morning that the letters will go out on December 15th but that it won't be posted on OPUS until Saturday the 16th. The Guidance counselors are not contacted with the decisions.</p>
<p>I can't help but think the admissions staff just says that so they're not overwhelmed with unnecessary calls at 8AM on 12/15. The Emory website does say that decisions will be available on the 15th.</p>
<p>I went to see my guidance counselor this morning about this issue, and he said he wasn't aware of any early notification. I had wanted to see about getting the decision before the deadline because of another deadline I am facing. Lo and behold, about an hour later, Emory admissions calls him later, just to discuss me. They wanted to talk about first quarter grades, which I did not have available at the time of submission. He said that they only release decisions on the 15th. Needless to say, this has heightened my anxiety considerably. It just seems strange for him to call out of the blue. I am second guessing what may have been the motivation for his call, if it is because I am borderline, they liked me, or on the bad side, maybe just reviewing my app (which I hope is unlikely since I sent it in a week before the deadline). I wonder what it all means, but I guess we have to wait till the 15th.</p>
<p>Where does it say that the decisions will be available on the 15th? To notify you all they need to do is drop it in the mail on the 15th.</p>
<p>I also spoke with admissions today - they did say the notifications will be posted on-line on Saturday, the 16th. I still believe decisions will be available on the 15th anyway. Alot of nervous students and parents will be calling!</p>
<p>Is that usually a positive sign if admissions calls your guidance counselor to discuss you, your grades, etc? Mine has been on the phone a lot with them, but he says that he still doesn't know of the decision yet.</p>
<p>gah thats so not kool how they extend the frickin online postings until saturday, especially since i wanted to know friday so that i could tell my guidance counselour whether or not she could send the recommendations for other colleges..</p>
