Email to wait listed students

<p>I don't know what they call, but you get an email. My OPUS account isn't showing anything different, though, since I got off the waitlist...</p>

<p>LookingForward: congrats!! What time did you get the email...?</p>

<p>they're notifying already? wow....i hate life.</p>

<p>3ish yesterday. I don't know if they call or not, since I was away from home at the time.</p>

<p>I got the email and the call yesterday too. I'm not gonna accept the offer though.</p>

<p>I know how you feel, cherrypie...</p>

<p>so, is the notification a continual thing or was yesterday it?</p>

<p>Thank you for declining the offer radyland hahaha! It's not time to start freaking out yet. They only started calling people a few days ago, and as radyland demonstrates, not everyone they call is accepting admission. Also, people have between 3 days and a week to decide, so I would assume that factor causes some delay in the process. They can't call more people until the people they have already called give them an answer. </p>

<p>Do you think they conduct wait list activity on the weekends/Saturdays?</p>

<p>heh. i called them 24 hours ago and they said they're waitlist will START next week.</p>

<p>They also said that they'll email AS WELL as call.</p>

<p>were they lying when they said that it'll start next week?</p>

<p>Well, I got the email and they gave me 48 hours to decide... but then said that due to my app for finaid, I got 24 hours after that got sent out next week. That is what they probably meant, S_N</p>

<p>oh b/c i'm a finaid applicant. cool.</p>

<p>I really just hope they call me. Emory is my first choice!</p>

<p>I actually went to visit Emory right after I learned that I was waitlisted.
And one of the admissions officer said 2,000 students are currently on the waitlist. I was shocked.</p>

<p>i9nature, i went to visit Emory soon after i was waitlisted as well. Heck of a campus. </p>

<p>I myself didn't ask for the number of waitlisted students, but another poster said the number was about a quarter of what you said. Whatever the case may be, its an uphill battle for sure</p>

<p>actually if you look...the CD for Emory is out....i think they are almost done with the waitlist....</p>

<p>a) Like I said before, two admissions officers (who I talked to separately) said they wait listed less people this year than last year. I highly doubt there are 2000 people on the list, since that is far more than any other year (it's usually like 800 people on the list I believe).
b) The common data set was for the freshman class of 2007, not 2008.</p>

<p>p.s CD = common data</p>

<p>I'm just waiting on them to send out the finaid. I hope they saved some for the waitlist kids...</p>

<p>Just got it, 3.5K in estimated loans. Any clue how this ends up being finalized? Is it more or less?</p>

<p>Congrats! I don't know how much it ends up being, but I don't see how it could be less if that's the amount they offered you! Do you think you are going to accept the offer? Don't worry, I won't hold it against you if you do! =)</p>
