@vaibhavm99 : The Ivies should not be some gold standard for everyone. At least like 4 of them are not substantially are hardly different from other elites outside of the top 10, including Emory. Do you mean “super elites” of any kind. This premium still placed specifically on applying to and getting into any Ivy is kind of non-sensical now-a-days (especially if one has to pay for all of it). If you talk about HYP (or maybe Columbia?), I guess…
Anyone knows how many full rides are awarded to scholars?
PS: I’m a scholar finalist from Africa 
@shark97 @Harryp17 I think I read somewhere that like 3 that are true full rides and then there are a bunch more that are tuition or partial tuition? I’m not 100% sure so please someone correct me if that’s wrong. Can’t speak for Emory scholars since I was picked for Oxford.
@velmah Okay thanks
I’m a finalist for the Oxford Scholars!
Does anyone know how many Woodruff scholars are finalists? And how many are awarded?
@yahey123 I thought Woodruff was just the name of the full ride that is given through the scholars program? Or are there separate Woodruff finalists?
I am a finalist wooho! I am excited to meet all of you during finalist weekend! PS are there any essays required?
Booked my airplane ticket, looking forward to meet all of the Oxford scholars
@Harryp17 You booked your own airplane ticket? I thought all the expenses were paid for by the school.
Sorry I meant I booked my ticket with the airline company provided for Emory Scholars. My ticket was free. @TimeUpJunior
Thanks for clearing up @Harryp17
Who’s not done writing the essay? L-)
What essay? @shark97 ? Do you need to write essays for the scholarship interview?
I dont remember any essay @TimeUpJunior when I registered
Don’t know about any essay either. @shark97 Could you clarify what you’re referring to?
Anyone else here not get the plane tickets/specific info email from Emory yet? I RSVP’d the night of 2/8, got the confirmation email, still have not heard anything since.
I was asked to write an essay for the Woodruff scholarship. I thought we were all supposed to write that essay?
Who else didn’t write an essay?
@juicemanman, for book flights you will need to call the Emory-appointed travel agent to book your flight. Their contact information is in the finalist packet which you can download from your portal.
