Emory ed1 class of 2020

Do you think it’s bad that I only took 5.5 aps? My school offers about 20, but no freshmen are allowed to take ap classes, the only one available to sophomores is AP Euro, and juniors rarely take more than 2 and seniors rarely take more than 3. We’re a top 50 private school, so we’re very competitive. I just worry that I haven’t taken enough…

@greenway1234 My school is similar in that we offer no APs to freshmen and the first AP one could take is AP Euro during sophomore year.

Yeah mine’s similar to that too. We have like AP Human Geography for freshman but no college really takes that. I had only taken 4 by the end of my junior year, so I’m taking six for senior year and I’m dyingggggg lol.

Yeah mines the same deal. APHUG for freshman and psych has an age requirement so I couldn’t take it until later and had to fill my schedule with electives. And no IB at my school. So I took one freshman year, 1 sophomore year, 3 junior year, and 4 senior year.
I also took every honors class available if I didn’t take the AP.
But my school offers like 20 APs. Y’all think I’ll be ok?
I reported my scores on the app: 5 on human geo and 4s on everything else.

Ahem, ladies and gentlemen…we now have less than a week of waiting left to do!

@ismitah I think you are fine. Look, colleges can’t expect us to take every single AP class at our school, in many cases it just isn’t possible because of scheduling. Like my school only does 7 classes a year through block scheduling, and science we do every three days, the fourth day being gym, so I can’t really fit another science into my schedule. My school also doesn’t offer IB courses. I have taken all honors and AP courses all four years and also this year two courses through Syracuse University.

@NeuroDude that makes sense because that really is hard to do. I wanted to take Micro macro this year but it didn’t work out. And I can’t do dual enrollment because I take my sis to school.

Finally our updates! The email and they updated the blog for ED1.

I got an email!

Update :slight_smile:

More competition though :frowning:

They went up? Really? Those applying RD better pray the same doesn’t happen…

I think this is good! I was expected a 20 something increase for Oxford. They’ve had increases of double digits every year and the slow down to 3% was not expected by me

Is Emory increasing the amount of spots or is it the same for ED1?

wait… does that mean only 466 people applied to oxford early?

hey guys! so emory called my school and asked the school for another girl’s first quarter grades? do you think this is a bad or good thing?? i sent mine in even though they weren’t required. why do you think they wanted her grades? i’m scared!

Yes only 466 applied ED1 to oxford

Guys I didn’t receive an email. Is this bad?

Idk I got an email

Hey guys I have IDOC and FAFSA still pending in OPUS, but aren’t we supposed to do those after we get admitted???

@ibbbbbb yeah we don’t have to turn those in yet. As long as you only have those two things pending you’re just fine :smiley:
