lol I just got an email from Emory and my heart skipped a beat.
@Harryp17 was it the one talking about the travel ban?
yea @dafishisdelish
Emory tryna stay relevant with the political emails. Feeling good about my “Why Emory” essay about experiencing an amalgamation of opinions, viewpoints, and a more diverse outlook on American life rather than my drab SoCal life as Emory has such a diverse student body and it promotes discourse.
Any idea what the general stats are for those admitted as Emory Scholars?
@vaibhavm99 : It isn’t like a public school honors program so it isn’t really stats based. A significant chunk are near or in Emory’s top quartile of admits though. However, on surface, there will be several scholars that appear statistically equal to a regular admit.
@bernie12 makes sense. thanks!
tomorrow is the big day… hoping the best for everyone. don’t think I’ll sleep tonight ~O)
get some sleep, its not releasing before 6 lol
just nervous lol. I know it isn’t til late tomorrow but :\
Good luck to everyone today. I am hoping for good news for my D this afternoon.
New posting on the blog. Just Emory Scholars announced tonight not other scholarships as in years past.https://blog.emoryadmission.com/2017/02/scholar-programs-notification-day-2017/
“large increase to overall application volume”…I get the feeling that the whole pool of admission applicants increased. They wouldn’t have too much trouble picking extra scholarships unless they wanted to consider many who DID NOT check the box, which would not happen in previous years. Maybe they went over 20k again.
Am I the only one with a feeling that Emory is going to f us over with EVEN LESSER scholarship decisions?
If selected as a finalist and after the scholars visit, does anyone have experience with when the actual recipients are notified? Thank you.
Last year was 7,000 or so This year 8,500. That’s a big increase in box - checkers. All my info is from Emory blogposts.
I’m so nervous!! 6:00 can’t come fast enough
Has anyone been accepted yet? I don’t know anyone who got in early
you need to relax… i understand you mught be nervous af but 6pm will come when it comes. there’s no way that admissions will be letting people know earlier; its not fair to the rest of us who have applied and have to wait until 6pm to find out. everything will be ok!! just take deep breaths 
things will all work out in the end.
the blog says 250 will be selected.
