Also, the fact that I'm going to a Christian university maybe helped in some way (since Emory has methodist background)? Not sure.

I wonder what university you're going to, after saying that Emory "kind of sucks" in a section for EMORY university, and saying that you're going to a much better school? Please refrain from dissing a university into that particular university's thread just because you're rejected. It shows your lack of etiquette for no reasonable reason. Those who are going to Emory next year (including me) are going because the opportunities that the university will give, and yes, it's not the BEST university out there, but it's still a prestigious and I don't think anyone has the right to dismiss it, unless one has like full ride with top score.
However, yes, all your other sections seem solid except the test scores.</p>
<p>why are some people posting stats so late in april???
does that mean you were once waitlisted, and you've found out recently???
please answer. thankkkkyou</p>
<p>i got in regular decision...didn't get waitlisted, just was very lazy and posted that info later :)</p>
<p>//naynaylj
well maybe people just skipped through this thread before :P just a random guess.</p>
