<p>Hey,</p>
<p>Can I apply directly to Goizuetta if I have 70 units from a community college? Or do I need to apply through the common app into emory and spend two semesters there before applying to goizuetta? Just trying to see how the application process works! Thanks.</p>
<p>Also, Do we use the common application or their own specific application?</p>
<p>Hi Transfer2Best,</p>
<p>I transferred to Emory from a community college. </p>
<p>I had around 70 credits as well, including some remedial math work that I chose to do when I reentered school. Emory will accept you with that many credits, but only 60 will transfer. You can work with the admissions office to transfer the credits that will best help you on your way to graduation. </p>
<p>As far as the application is concerned, I did not apply to Goizueta, so I am unsure. You should call the admissions office to ask. For the College of Arts and Sciences I simply used the common app.</p>
<p>Thanks! Is visiting the campus a big part in their decision process? I live in California and am thinking of visiting next week if it makes that big of a difference. Also, how do you like Emory? Thanks.</p>
<p>You want to come to Atlanta from California when it’s cold and perhaps grey in Atlanta? I would recommend March or late Februrary. However, I guess it will be in time for the new semester starting up which could be fun (though nowhere near as fun as the more “springish” months).</p>
<p>Haha Bernie… I am mainly going to visit to show Emory my interest in their school. If I visit late feb/March, they might not take it into consideration seeing as the deadline for Goizueta transfers is Feb. 15th.</p>
<p>Ok then lol. Just be ready for the weather (which oscillates like a sine wave, especially in fall and winter). I just know that California, on average, has weather that makes more sense than Atlanta’s (I’m from another part of Georgia and the weather is far more consistent)</p>
<p>Yeah weather wise nothing beats California. Do you like Emory?</p>
<p>I do like Emory actually. I strongly feel like I made the right decision. It is a particularly transfer friendly school for being of such high quality because of Oxford; the school is used to having a few hundred new transfers every year and has a variety of programs to help acclimate transfers as a result. </p>
<p>I will say this though: get involved. It seems to me that the student population isn’t super outgoing if they don’t have some common ground. Being involved will give you that common ground and make it much easier to make friends.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Skribe,</p>
<p>Thanks for the informative reply. I will deff. be getting involved once I am in Emory (I am involved with alot of activities currently throughout my campus). Have you been to the Emory Conference Center? I am going to visit next week and will most like be staying there. Also did you need to submit your ACT/SAT? I have taken about 70 semester units so far and have never taken either test.</p>
<p>I did need to submit my SAT scores. I did not study for them because of time, but I did do fairly well. I got around 2100 combined without study. I’m not entirely sure how relevant they are for transfers but they do require them. </p>
<p>Regarding the Conference Center, I have never been. I hear fairly good things though. I’m sure it’ll be a pleasant stay for a campus visit.</p>
<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I just got back from Emory and absolutely loved the campus. This then propels me to ask a few more questions ;)… 1) The common application is due May 1st, how do we submit the supplemental application (do we just mail it in with our Letter of Recommendation?), 2) For transfers, how many letters of recommendation do they want? 3) When do you hear back from Emory? Thanks.</p>
<p>Hey Transfer,</p>
<p>I did the common app. I submitted my supplement online together with my common application. There wasn’t anything to print and mail. I had two letters of recommendation, both were academic letters from professors who I knew were able to write well.</p>
<p>That’s interesting that the deadline is May 1st this year, last year it was actually June 1st. Hopefully the side effect is that you’ll know sooner. I did not hear of my acceptance until August last year.</p>
<p>That’s an extremely late response. Did you just have to submit your deposit for other schools and just wait for emory?</p>
<p>In my case I did precisely that. I paid a deposit at another school and just forfeited the money when Emory responded. I don’t regret it.</p>
<p>Emorys admission counselor has not responded to any of my emails… guess I wont be going there.</p>
