Emory Scholar Applicants 2021

especially with over 8500 applicants this year

Getting really nervous, especially since I don’t have the admissions deposit link…

FINALIST!!!

@Harryp17 For Oxford?
It is on opus or in email?

Email @jjmama and for Oxford

@Harryp17 Congratulations!!!

Congrats!

@Harryp17 Congratulations! Did you also get a notice in your Opus account?

no nothing on opus besides deposit

Were you an ED applicant?

no I was RD @klb222

Just curious…can someone who is an Emory Scholar finalist tell me what weekend is finalist weekend? I was denied, but am a finalist for another scholarship and that finalist weekend is March 3-4. Just trying to console myself with the thought that maybe the weekends wouldn’t have worked out as we’ve already bought tickets and committed to the other weekend.

@VandyRandy Where did it say that you were a finalist for another scholarship? Was that in the student portal update?

March 16-18 @VandyRandy

For a different university, not Emory. I was denied from Emory.

anyone know how many people are awarded the scholarship that covers full cost of attendance?

@muzzahlady : Actually I think last year had less than the year when they started the check the box thing (that year was like 7k)…apps were slightly down overall then.

Does anyone know what % of oxford scholar finalists receive full tuition?

@Harryp17 did you apply to any university ED or ED2? I just went through your chance me threads and can’t help but feel you should’ve applied to atleast 2-3 ivies. ATB!

Unfortunately i didnt apply to any ed or ed2 since i dont want to bind myself anywhere. I was considering applying to several ivies but I wanted to go somewhere that provides me more merit scholarships for my undergraduate years. Thanks @vaibhavm99
