<p>does anybody know when students find out whether they are a semi-finalist in the emory scholar?</p>
<p>I believe it is late January but I’m not 100% sure</p>
<p>sportgreet’s right, the semifinalist notifications last year went out on January 16th or so, with people finding out in mid-to-late February whether or not they were finalists. You can read about it in [this</a> forum](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/emory-university/634763-emory-scholars-notification.html]this”>Emory Scholars notification... - Emory University - College Confidential Forums).</p>
<p>Does receiving a semifinalist notification mean that you’re most likely already in Emory, if not the Scholars program?</p>
<p>I think they give you semifinalist because 1) you’re in Emory and 2) you’re in the “better” student pile of everyone that is in. Why else do you think they would hand out semifinalist status? Not everybody who get in gets it.</p>
<p>i can confirm all of this. it’s on the emory scholars webpage (google it!)</p>
<p>Surprisingly the Emory Scholars webpage in China is blocked! I have to use proxies to access which makes everything much slower, but thanks for that.</p>
<p>Anyone know if they fly semifinalists to Atlanta for the interviews or if we have to pick up the tab ourselves?</p>
<p>Their website says that they pay for transportation expenses.</p>
