<p>Today, I received an e-mail inviting me to join a celebratory breakfast for Emory EDI and EDII admits and their families on March 2nd in New York City. Is this sort of thing going on for future students in various major cities, or just those in the NYC area? I'd really like to go for this, but I'm also supposed to attend a debate tournament that same day (I think), so I'm trying to decide between the two events.</p>
<p>Is anybody here on CC going to one of these meetups?</p>
<p>This happens in all of the major cities that Emory targets. Last April I went to a meet and greet in Los Angeles for admitted Oxford/ Emory students. IMO it was well worth the hour drive, especially because I met someone who has become an extremely close friend. </p>
<p>If I were you, I’d go to the debate tournament, and wait until April for the next meetup. That way, you’ll be able to compete in an activity which you (presumably) like, and eventually meet your future classmates who were admitted ED and RD.</p>
