Emory Class of 2027 Waitlist thread

Colleges and Universities A-Z Emory University

I’m a student who is committed to Oxford College and is on the waitlist for Emory college right now. I would love to switch places with your son.

Do you think we could jointly email the admissions office or something? Not to brag or be pretentious but my academics(SAT, gpa) are certainly better than the 75th percentile Emory student and my EC profile is probably better as well(based on graduates from my high school who go to Emory), and I am on the waitlist anyways, so I don’t see why they couldn’t accommodate this request.

I think the issue is that admissions tries to create a demographic balance on both campuses, and that can complicate things. But, please send me a private message, and we can certainly look into the possibility. Thanks!:pray::heart:

Hey, was wondering if everyone on the waitlist received this email as I didn’t receive it. Pls let me know thanks!

Which email?

25

Funny, we’re in the opposite boat. Emory waitlist, and Oxford Admit. That said my son released his Oxford spot, and wrote a LOCI to Emory. I’m not sure it was the BEST decision, but he felt strongly he wanted to be on one campus for all four years and better to free up the Oxford spot for someone else.

It was in their blog post.

I have only heard of a few people (here and on FB groups) getting off Emory waitlist. Their blog said 50-70. I wonder when they plan to release more. Has anyone heard?

Do we know if there is any more movement on their WL this week?

My son got an email this morning offering admission from the WL - he’d applied to Atlanta campus only. Same as others, 1 day to respond then will have a week after they update his portal with official acceptance letter.

Are emails usually sent out in the morning or it can be at any time of the day

I didn’t apply to the Oxford College at all, I was just accepted to the main Atlanta campus.

Have to make the decision by midnight tonight. Talking with my parents one last time, it really is a coin flip :upside_down_face: :worried:

33

Which round of admissions did you son apply during? My son applied ed2 to Emory but not heard back from the waitlist yet.

So what did you decide?

36

Anyone hear from Oxford about the waitlist?

37

Everything is pretty quiet on this chat board. No news is not good news for those that remain on the waitlist?

38

They said that they typically finish waitlist decisions around june, but it can go through july? Is there any other chatboards for those with emory waitlists. My daughter is waitlisted

Duke and several Ivies have closed their waitlists.

Waitlist is now pretty much closed based on their most recent blog post:
