<p>Couple weeks ago, I’m sure they’ll let you know soon.</p>
<p>Thanks HeatFanNY! I definitely took your advice and e-mailed… don’t know how much that would work. Crossing my fingers!</p>
<p>Hey guys, my parents actually changed their minds and I am for sure attending Emory next fall. I am picking my housing right now, leaning towards Clifton/Trimble because the complex is just like incredibly tiny and Clairmont is too far away…</p>
<p>Where are you guys thinking about living?</p>
<p>^Wooo, congrats, HeatFanNY. That is great news. I hope I will get to join you at Emory next fall…</p>
<p>Does anyone have any updates? Preferably those who applied as a regular transfer student rather than a conditional transfer student?
I’m sooo anxious to get my answer. I really want to know soon ):</p>
<p>i applied for the fall a couple of weeks ago. it seems like we hear back mid-june? haven’t received my opus information or anything. it’d be nice to hear earlier than that, it sucks not knowing where ill be this fall</p>
<p>I’ll be submitting my application this weekend. Got accepted to W&M and a couple other places, but got pretty bad aid thus far. I heard that Emory is pretty generous with 0 EFC’ers. I hope that is true!</p>
<p>Not sure about my chances though.</p>
<p>Bump. Anyone heard anything? I’m submitting my app in a couple of days.</p>
<p>i got an email from someone in Admissions because they never received one of my forms, so at least we know they have started looking at our applications. probably still won’t hear back until early-mid June</p>
<p>i’m an emory student and i just want to tell you that clifton is pretty much the worst place you can live at emory. trimble isn’t that great either; the only good thing about it is that it’s right on campus. clairmont is amazing-- it really is NOT far away at all (there’s a shuttle that comes every 3-5 minutes and it only takes 10-15 mins to walk to campus). seriously, i was avoiding clairmont the whole time i was at emory, but last year when i lived there i LOVED it so much. they’re actually apartment-styled housing which is great, and people describe clairmont campus like a country club (outside pool, tennis courts, really nice buildings, etc).</p>
<p>Hey emory12,</p>
<p>Thanks for the input! What do you think is the best place to live besides clairmont then? I would rather have something on the main campus so what would be my best choice?</p>
<p>what choices do you get as a transfer?</p>
<p>if you are a sophomore, i’d try for Woodruff. you get to know a lot of people there, and it’s basically on campus. it’s also a really nice building/pretty new.</p>
<p>hey emory 12,</p>
<p>thanks for posting. i’m hoping you can tell me a bit more about Emory as I won’t be visiting unless i get in. I read somewhere that you need a car, how far/ easy is it to get to downtown Atlanta? Also, i imagine many of the students come from the southeastern U.S., would you say the school is conservative or religious in general? And I think about 25% of students participate in greek life, is it really the central part of campus life, or something thats easy to avoid if you aren’t interested? Lastly, how were your experiences as a transfer (adjusting, academics, socially). Sorry for all the questions but I’d appreciate some insight. Thanks!</p>
<p>first of all, good luck, i hope you get in!</p>
<p>car: i’m entering my senior year and this is the first year i will ever have a car at college. so i definitely don’t think you need one. emory has a lot of shuttles… shuttles to the food store, shuttles to the mall, shuttles to special art events, etc. i’ve never gone into downtown atlanta on public transport though. i guess you can, but whenever i go one of my friends ends up driving. and when my friends and i go to parties at GA tech, we usually take a cab which isn’t too expensive.</p>
<p>believe it or not, a LOT of the students come from the northeast (NY/NJ). i chose emory because i didn’t like my “liberal” school, but i don’t think emory is especially conservative. to me, it seems kind of in between which i actually like a lot. there are a lot of religious groups on campus but only a small percent of emory is in those.</p>
<p>greek life: it IS easy to avoid, i guess. but the thing is, i actually joined greek life so that i could meet people after i transferred (it worked). if you don’t do this, i definitely would suggest joining a lot of clubs/groups to meet people (it’s really hard to meet people in classes, in my opinion, especially as an upperclassman). greek life is actually really fun though if you ignore stereotypes and do it for the right reasons. i was able to get involved the fall semester i came to emory so i met people really fast, and all those girls are still my closest friends in college.</p>
<p>experience as a transfer: i don’t even feel like i transferred. i don’t regret transferring or choosing emory at ALL. i love it so much. i’ve adjusted so well, and even though the academics were more challenging, i’ve gotten used to it. in my first semester, i didn’t get a great GPA, but it was just because i was still adjusting. socially, i feel like a normal emory student-- i have a lot of friends, a lot of them in different years, and i go to a lot of parties and stuff. you just have to come into emory with an open mind, and try to meet as many people as possible in transfer orientation-- transfer orientation is SO much different than in freshman year, with the ice breakers and everything-- it’s pretty much just registering and getting credits sorted out. kinda lame but i got over it haha.</p>
<p>message me if you have any other questions!</p>
<p>emory12, thanks so much for the response. a lot of that is really helpful to know. yeah i know greek life can be a great way to meet people, i just know it’s not something that I would fit in with. but im glad it worked out for you and made transferring easier. i’m sure i’ll have more questions if i get in 
thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions</p>
<p>no problem! i know what it’s like to be in your position so i am really glad that i am able to help out :)</p>
<p>Hey, so I’m not a fall 2011 transfer, but I’m applying for Spring 2012 as a second semester sophomore, and I would really appreciate any advice you guys have to offer.</p>
<p>I finished freshman year at West Point with a 3.6 GPA and 37.5 credit hours. Only problem is the system put me in Arabic instead of Chemistry, so I have NO science credits. Which is a problem, because I want to be a nurse (which you also can’t be out of West Point… hence the transfer). I’ll be at UTD (University of Texas at Dallas) in the fall to make up for this lack of sciences. Assuming I do well at UTD, what do you think my chances are of getting into Emory? Stats are below.</p>
<p>SAT: 2210 (Math: 710, Reading: 700)
ACT: 32
High school GPA (unweighted): 3.9
High school type: All-girls Catholic
High school ec’s: a lot… I’m not gonna make you read them all
College ec’s: military training, intramural sports, mandatory physical conditioning, leadership details, sunday school teacher, women’s club, spanish club, national ski patrol member
Why I want to go to Emory: pursue a career in pediatric nursing </p>
<p>Any info you have to offer would be great! Thanks!</p>
<p>I’m also interested since I’ll be applying probably next summer or fall. Is it harder or easier in the summer and can I apply for both even though the deadlines are two months apart?</p>
<p>First of all, Complex is not really tiny. 2nd of all, I think Woodruff is perhaps a little better than Complex, except that it has absolutely no community feel. It reflects the “cliquishness” of the campus. Alabama could work, but I don’t like it either compared to Complex or Woodruff.
emory12: I actually think Woodruff is kinda old lol. It just employed different architecture and was kept up well. It’s also by the forest (like Clairmont), which is really nice. I also think that Emory is considered pretty liberal compared to lots of schools (especially among the top schools in the south. It even kind of overshadows Duke in that arena and ‘kind of’ may be an understatement), including many/most private schools. We just don’t have the traditional forms of political activism that make it obvious. However, I think some surveys indicated that, in 2008, 80% of folks who voted on campus, chose Obama (now that could involve a very low sample size, given that younger people, especially college students, are not known to turn out in high numbers). Regardless, you can tell by the initiatives and events on campus, and the emphasis on multi-culturalism, that we are liberal. I don’t think a conservative or mixed school would have Tibetan Monks studying science. Even a “mixed” school is more inclined to have students and an administration w/perhaps strong religious (as in Christian) beliefs that would not be as conducive to welcoming initiatives like Emory-Tibet Science.</p>
<p>Conservative/ideologically balanced schools would generally not have 33% Asian and 33%(thus making most of the white students Jewish) Jewish students. They tend to also have different admission/enrollment patterns.
I’ve really only met like 2-3 conservatives here, and I really don’t think they were true conservatives.</p>
<p>Any fall 2011 transfer applicants heard anything yet?</p>
<p>^ not me. Anyone else?</p>
