I mean seriously?! That lack of attention to detail is . . . Interesting
62% wait list admitted In prior years?
If anyone is looking for exact numbers about the waitlist, I recommend you check out Emory’s common data set for 2019-20 found here:
https://provost.emory.edu/planning-administration/data/common-data-set.html
Unfortunately it looks like Emory puts a lot of kids on a waitlist and few make it through. Last year 168 students made it through but that may be because of the uncertainty of COVID as the year prior 0 did. Still, this year is completely different and anything is possible - good luck to everyone!

No - 62 kids on average but it varies year to year. It doesn’t break out the two campuses. It’s listed in the FAQs for Waitlist - that came on the email asking my daughter if she wants to wait list.
They don’t rank - they pick by factors to fill their class such as geography. So if they have no one admitted from N Dakota and you are from there, you may have a good chance, etc.
They also rightly tell you - you need to deposit elsewhere.
I would not count on going if you are on the WL - but if it’s your dream and you want to torture yourself, that’s fine. I imagine many who get in on the WL will turn down a school because by then (they let you know in May - July), you’ve gone down a path with another school.

same - i’m shocked at the lack of attention to detail - such mistakes by a college applicant would have them rejected.

accepted to both schools!! congrats to everyone else who got in
Has Emory released the acceptance rate and SAT scores for this year or not yet? They usually release those stats within one day of the admission decisions. I remember for ED1 and ED2 they were pretty much released the day of
yeah that’s my exact situation. My parents have saved for my college since I was born with as much money they could put in (and I am very very fortunate that they had the foresight for that), but I can only afford like…a year and a semester at Emory with that lol and I majored in a natural/social science so I’ll definitely need to pay for some sort of grad school too. Oof
Here are the numbers for this year for those who are interested:

Thanks - it’s hard to tell because they give you a mass # 33,780 but then they admit 4,343 to Emory and 4,278 to Oxford…but some of that is crossover (admitted to both).
No ACT/SATs listed.
“Emory admitted 6,892 students to the Class of 2025” seems to be the total.
See that includes those admitted twice. That would be 20.4% - but of course ED will have been higher.
I wonder if they’ll share test scores (I expect them up because of TO - lower ones omitted - and this year they superscored).
Also, curious how many they accepted TO.
I don’t think so. It goes on to say, “Some 4,343 were offered admission to Emory College of Arts and Sciences, and 4,278 were offered admission to Oxford College,” which doesn’t add up to 6,892.
But it says “total,” so I think that includes ED. To get the RD figures you’d have to subtract the ED applicants and acceptances.
Daughter was accepted. OOS. Scores submitted. Emory surprised us with merit money.
Have any accepted student received the financial aid letter yet?
people can be admitted to both emory and oxford so u would have to subtract that amount

Our FA email just came.
Yes. Emory sent my daughter FA information about half hour ago
@vimlesh Yes, financial info received.
No, it’s 4343+4278-6892 = x cross-admits.
