<p>It would be very helpful for future Emory Scholar hopefuls if those who were name semifinalists would post their basic stats (gpa, Sat/Act's), the state where they are from and whether they applied to Emory ED1, ED2 or RD. Thank you. (and congratulations!!!)</p>

Applied: RD (still had stuff initiated yesterday, haha) </p>
<p>Note: I know of a few who got semi’s with mid 2000s, and superscore/one-sitting doesn’t matter-unless you’ve taken the test 3 times or more.</p>
<p>^I wouldn’t be nearly as impressed by a 23xx superscore as by a one sitting. Neither would adcoms, regardless of what they say to the public. They’re people, too.</p>
<p>Yeah. I know a kid who bragged about his 2400 superscore, but his highest single sitting was like a 2140.</p>

<p>Son is semifinalist

National Merit Semifinalist</p>
<p>Fingers crossed. He loved Emory when he visited. Emory Scholar program looks fantastic, and the scholarship money would make a huge difference. Does anyone know the answer to this question: if he gets both National Merit Finalist and merit money from Emory, will Emory subtract Nat. Merit money from the merit money they offer?</p>

Applied: Regular Decision (Nov. 15, lol)</p>
<p>I only had 1 SAT score and 1 ACT score, but I don’t regret not retaking anything. Many people find it more impressive to have a solid single-sitting score than to have a similar score that’s mix-matched across the board.</p>
