Hello! Had a question about admissions: Does the academic program I chose on the common app have a signfiicant impact on admissions chances? I know you don’t apply into specific schools as a freshman, but I chose business and I know their business program is pretty popular/competitive. I am more interested in arts & sciences now. Got into Wash U (arts & sciences) this week but Emory is my first choice. Thanks!
@hhootle : No. Business is a 2 year program anyway which would mean that minds would change in 2 years (I would hope at least some do, there are many things to explore before applying to GBS. Folks should have an open mind).

General Comments:
I am worried that my common app essay wasn’t good enough, but I think my supplementary essays were fine:)
Also, is it bad that I didn’t take a subject test? Thanks!
@hhootle
Congrats on WashU. What major interests you, since you’ve changed your mind on business? Have you looked into QSS?
@VANDEMORY1342 thank! QSS does sound really interesting to me. I’d probably do it on the political science or psychology track, but I have a diverse array of interests so I am keeping an open mind.
@hhootle Business school is two years, but there are specific requirements you would need to do your first two years. You can also enter spring semester of your sophomore year if you meet a certain credit requirement, which is less than two full years. It is not that difficult once you at Emory to be admitted to GBS.
I thought I was on a BC thread for a minute. As an Emory alum from the Boston area, I can’t see too many similarities between the schools.
@lovecollegewoo
You have a great shot, Good stats and solid EC’s but its unpredictable at this point. They accept who they like during the RD round and hopefully your essay convinced them to like you.
i got the essence thing too. can someone explain wat it is to me?
@Hiddle yes, thank you so much! I don’t know why I was having trouble finding it
@ironweasal
It’s for all practical purposes a “likely letter”. Congrats! You are in. When did you get the invite?
