<p>My s is a semi-finalist, although his stats are not as great as all the others on this site. You are all so amazing – way more talented than our generation! My s is thrilled and is v. interested in Emory. It’s all about the money,though. Stats:</p>

<p>UW GPA - 3.82 (now 3.85), IB Diploma Candidate
ACT - 32 (now 33, with super score - two exams)
ECs - excellent, competitive fencer and proficient bassoonist, among others
Essays – I know I’m his mom, but they were really exceptional. That’s what I’m thinking got him into this round.
Good luck to you all!</p>

<p>Didn’t make it :frowning: My scores are good (2330 SAT and 4.15 GPA) so it was probably because of my ECs…</p>

143

<p>I applied from Oxford Scholars. I have a low gpa but a high ACT, so we’ll see how that works out. But, importantly: Is it really coming back today? Emory and Oxford College are some of my faves and I’d love to get this scholarship!</p>

<p>Honestly since it is 5 o’clock and we haven’t heard anything, I think she may have given me misinformation??? I also called the admissions office today just to get a second opinion and they didn’t say tonight they said sometime this week…</p>

145

<p>wait… so is it coming tonight or not?</p>

146

<p>I don’t think so</p>

147

<p>lol, but didnt you say it was tonight?</p>

148

<p>Yes thats what she told me haha but idk how long into the “night” they are going to wait to send emails…</p>

149

<p>oh so did you call the admission office>?</p>

150

<p>Emailed and called. The email said tonight and the person on the phone said sometime this week. So two different answers from two different people</p>

151

<p>Did any other Semifinalists get contacted about an alumni interview? I don’t understand. Since we’re already admitted, it doesn’t have any effect on our admittance. But does it impact whether we move onto the finalist round? Or should I just turn down the interview?</p>

152

<p>I thought they were going to announce the Scholars via email last night… Anyone have a update on when students can expect the email?</p>

153

<p>I got an email at 2 am today</p>

154

<p>Was it good news? What did the email say???</p>

155

<p>Unfortunately I didn’t get an invite to the scholars weekend :frowning: It basically said the same thing as the Emory scholars denial letter. As of stats, it said about 750 applied and about 75 got invites.</p>

156

<p>Because we are trying to book a trip for spring break, I called the admissions office to see if they could tell me when the Goizueta Scholar visits would happen for those who make the semi-finalist (or finalist round, depending on how they handle it this year). </p>

<p>They told me the visits would occur on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th of March.</p>

<p>They also confirmed what some folks on this thread posted about the Goizueta list being announced on the 31st.</p>

<p>Hope that helps anyone also trying to plan around Spring Break.</p>

157

<p>3 more days for Goizueta Scholar semifinalists!</p>

158

<p>^ I know! I’ve been anxiously waiting for that, since it’ll be my last piece of news till late March. That and the Bulls-Heat game tomorrow :)</p>

159

<p>Does anyone know when Emory Scholars semifinalists will get invited to Scholars weekend?</p>

160

<p>I would like to know that too. I couldn’t find anything on old threads.</p>
