Emory Scholars 2013

<p>D is a semifinalist. She is also a Jefferson finalist but the selection weekends are at the same time. Does anyone know whether any accommodations are made for such an eventuality?</p>

<p>My son was selected as an Emory scholar. Does anyone know how many of the 50 will be selected to receive the full tuition? Additionally, about how many of the 350 (?) semi-finalists will receive any merit award?</p>

<p>Semifinalist! I can’t wait for February 23.</p>

<p>Semifinalist =] I’m actually very surprised haha</p>

<p>Not selected, 36 ACT, 4.67 W/4.0 UW GPA, SAT II 800 800, 2/300ish, NMSF. Not sure yet if I’ll still consider Emory without the $ involved.</p>

<p>SEMIFINALIST! 32 ACT, 2260 SAT, 4.6 W/4.0 UW. I really don’t think it was so much about the stats as it was about your essay and the way you presented your interests.</p>

<p>I agree. I really loved Emory and was so excited that I wrote my essay on the way home from visiting. I think my love for the school was reflected in my essay. But many of those who were rejected have stats better than mine.</p>

<p>Congrats to all who got in. To whoever wants to keep track of timing, etc., for future years, I JUST got my email from Emory to go check my status (I checked on my own a few minutes before the stated release time). Days ago, I received an email invite to also apply to Oxford. Maybe coincidence, but those seem to point to a “no” decision from Emory Scholars. Guess I’ll say bye to this site now…</p>

<p>I’m an Emory Scholar Semifinalist too! 35 ACT, 2360 SAT, 800 and 790 Subject Tests, NMSF, numerous leadership/ECs. Pre-med field and that’s what my essay was based on too. Really hoping to become a Finalist! Congrats to everyone else who got Semifinalist!</p>

<p>Got the Emory semi-finalist. 2290; 4.0 UW; 2/350; Average ECs.</p>

<p>I’m crossing my fingers for that full tuition…</p>

<p>Goizueta Scholar Semifinalist!
Does anyone know if being named a Goizueta semifinalist means that you get guaranteed admission into Goizueta Business School or is that only for finalists?</p>

<p>Son was rejected- congrats to all that moved on to the next round.</p>

<p>My son has not heard from Emory. I called the school today and they said that there was a system problem and my son would hear today. No email or communication on OPUS. Has anyone else still not heard?</p>

<p>Yes there do appear to have been some glitches uploading the decisions. My daughter had been nominated for both emory and goizueta. Only her goizueta showed up yesterday. She called this morning and afternoon again, and her emory letter showed up mid-afternoon. So I’m sure it’ll show up for your son too.</p>

<p>I’m an Emory Scholars semi finalist! A little surprised to be honest, but I’ll post my stats nonetheless. 3.70 unweighted GPA, 35 ACT. I did talk about my published book in my essay which may have given me an edge.</p>

<p>I urge none of you give up hope. As someone rejected by Columbia ED, I know what rejection tastes like, especially to a dream school. There are great opportunities out there for all of us.</p>

<p>My son just heard. He is not a Goizueta Scholar but he is an Emory Scholar! I guess it was worth the wait. He is ED Emory and very happy.</p>

<p>Were all Goizueta semifinalists offered admission to Emory college, or are there two tiers there?
As semifinalists, we don’t do anything prior to the finalist decision, right?</p>

<p>Emory or USC?</p>

<p>Emory or Oxford?</p>

<p>When will finalist get notice from them?</p>
