@ismitah omg thank u!! this nearly gave me a heart attack!
Does anyone do the IB here???
@ibbbbbb you’re welcome! And no, my school doesn’t offer IB
@Oliea98 I turned mine in during the first week of October and it only got updated on my to do list two days ago. I would still call or email them but go on your college board account and make sure it says that they sent it over. As long as it says they did, you’re gonna be fine. And on top of that, emory gives you a fin aid deadline of December 23 to get all the docs in if you haven’t gotten them in, in order to give you an estimate before your deposit deadline.
@NeuroDude I know, right? Time flies and I’ll be so busy this weekend I hopefully won’t even feel it until it’s monday and only a day left.
5 days!!! We can do this
@ismitah I don’t have any AP’s because my school doesn’t offer them.
So I do the IB instead, and I have a predicted of 42 points, but will it hurt that I didn’t do any APs?
@ibbbbbb : no, IB is treated equivalent to AP at Emory. The only school I’ve heard of with a slight weird treatment of it is Chicago.
@ibbbbbb I am also in IB program. Congratulations for your amazing predicted grade! The pure academic grade(this means it doesn’t account for 3 additional points from EE,CAS,TOK) that Emory College looks for is usually around 37-39. Last year Emory College admitted one student through ED who had a predicted grade of 41 even if he only scored 1980 on SAT. I think you have a great chance!
@ibbbbbb no they evaluate your rigor with what your school offers. So as long as you’ve taken the most challenging classes offered, you’re good
somone wanna chance?.. LOL

@Kostt2000 your test score is in their top average. Is your GPA weighted or UW?
Your extracurriculars sound plentiful…
Good job on all of your accomplishments!
@ismitah Umm… I come from different country and the councillor didn’t specify which one it was after he converted it… so im not very sure LOL. I really hope I at least get into one of the two. Thanks Though!
SAT vs. solid IB grades and scores…I’ll take the solid IB grades and scores as they likely predict success better, especially in challenging courses.
@Starlight97 What subjects do you take in the IB? I’m taking Econ, History, English A Lang Lit HL and Bio, Spanish,maths SL, and I applied for international relations. I have a overall of 39 points without the 3 additional points. It’s good to hear that someone with similar stats as me got in!!
Anyone can login blackboard yet?
@Emorylove732 Does that actually work to see if you got in or not? I will try later.
Yea, pretty much you get this when you are accepted.

But how do you know your username and password for blackboard? Do you just access through your OPUS account?
@Emorylove732 What information did you sign in with?
