<p>Who else applied?</p>
<p>I did! I’m from the Midwest. I plan on majoring in Creative Writing and Neuroscience (Pre-Med), and running for the XC/Track teams. What are you interested in?</p>
<p>That’s so weird I also want to study neuroscience and run cross country! I’m from California, though.</p>
<p>Haha wow, that’s so cool. How was your season?</p>
<p>I applied as well. Bio/pre-med. I think I should go ahead and create an OPUS account haha. It’s been like 3-4 weeks since I submitted the scholars app?</p>
<p>@premedpoet it was okay…i actually only started xc this year so i’m not very good i’m hoping to get much better in college</p>
<p>collapsingspace, that’s still great (you love it enough to continue in college, which says a lot!). We could be teammates! My season ended on a pretty mixed note, I was feeling good and even winning a few meets, but I fell short at State. I still led my team to a great finish, which was awesome, but I didn’t hit my personal goals.
So what got you interested in neuroscience? I went to a neuro research program over the summer and it seems like people interested in the field always have really interesting stories.</p>
<p>I applied too. From VA, and hopefully premed 
But nobody’s been contacted for interviews yet, right?</p>
<p>I did as well! From Tennessee, a finance major. I doubt I’m spectacular enough to dazzle them, but it was worth a shot. I did Goizueta Scholars as well.</p>
<p>I applied! From GA. we probably won’t get notified until January or February as interviews are usually in March.</p>
<p>I applied for both. Unfortunately, looking back I think my essays were a little lack-luster. Hopefully my stats pull me through:/</p>
<p>Also, it seems like around Jan 20th for Scholars, Jan 31st for Goizueta.</p>
<p>Emory Scholars talk for Class of 2013 seems pretty quiet for now . . .</p>
<p>I agree with treyarchfan—this opportunity is really freaking exciting! For me, finding out January 20th about semifinalist status would actually be my first acceptance
I also sorta feel weird about how there are no in-between interviews for the group pool–> semifinalists–> finalists steps. Then again, it’s somewhat freeing to know that it’s all out of my control!</p>
<p>We find out jan 20th? By mail or email?</p>
<p>As far as I can tell, last year they all got e-mails the morning of January 20th telling them to all log on OPUS at 7 PM for the decision. A paper copy was sent that date as well.</p>
<p>I applied! from Mississippi. don’t know what I would major in exactly but I do want to end up somewhere in medicine!</p>
<p>does anyone know if people that are rejected from the program have a strong chance of getting into emory regular decision?</p>
<p>I don’t think your decision is contingent in any way with emory scholars</p>
<p>I applied, and I’m from GA too! How do you know we get notified on the 20th? Emory’s website only says, “Late January.”</p>
