Current College GPA: 3.85. I do have an associates with distinction and presidents list.

I’m definitely a bit worried since the Business school is so competitive.
during the info session, they counselor stated that the look more at your college grades than your high school grades. also emphasized essays, too! When do you receive your decision? I’m sure that you’ll do well 
Thanks! I think decisions are mid to late April.
did they mention anything specific they want in essays?
They just said what do you hope to take advantage of at emory. I talked about the business programs, clubs, and how Emory can help achieve my career goals. Hope that helps!
does anyone know if we’re supposed to submit writing samples or what would be good to submit for them? like just essays from college classes or??
they didn’t ask for writing samples. there was nothing in the documents section on the common app application that asked for a writing sample.
you were already accepted?
yes, I applied to transfer as part as part of the priority decision in October. I’m a dual degree student so I had to apply early to the nursing school
applications due today!!! wishing u all luck. 1.5ish months until we find out. I feel like my essays are bad but oh well, maybe its in my head
I submitted my application earlier today. I know it’s almost a 20% chance, but I hope to get in. 7/10 essay, 4.0 HS GPA, 3.7 int’l college GPA, 4.0 U.S. college GPA, solid rec letters, and a little community engagement.
Wish everyone best of luck.

Why does the portal look different now?
It doesn’t have pictures at first.
Does anyone else not see their checklist anymore on the emory portal?
My checklist has gone too.
I think it should be a mistake since my friend’s checklist has also gone without completed material
