EMORY University class of 2012 Early Decision

mashimlro · December 14, 2007, 5:55pm

<ul>
<li>Yesterday while I was going on my way to take Biology Final exam at White Hall (almost near admissions office), I saw a lot of USPS white boxes (seems like admissions decision letter) going to the EMORY USPS station at DUC.</li>
<li>Emory Admissions page indicates that the decision will come out at 7:00 a.m. on the OPUS; however, according to the last year (in case of regular decision) the decision came out earlier than 7:00 a.m. and even if EMORY always says like that, it will come out eariler!</li>
</ul>

The Easiest way to go to OPUS:

<ul>
<li>Lastly, I hope y'all get into EMORY university</li>

sam, cant find u on fb. congrats everyone!!!

Mika08 · December 15, 2007, 12:47am

I think what got me was my SATs (in the 500 range for all 3 sections).

You guys are amazing! I might join you sophomore year if I decided to transfer to Emory, but I believe everything happens for a reason and that I was meant to be somewhere else.

Anywho, I’ll post my stats tomorrow. I’m going to sleep now. 'Night, and again: congratulations!!! I mean it, you guys deserve it and a bag of chips.

ACCEPTED!

Stats:[ul]
[]SAT: 1300/2030 (720 reading, 730 writing…580 math. I took it junior year, and once I saw I hit the Emory range, quit.)
[]SAT II: World History (620? 630?), Chemistry (650)
[]ACT: n/a
[]GPA: 3.8 on 4.0 scale, even though my transcript is jacked up.

[/ul]Subjective[ul]
[]Essays: Common AP- Short-answer: quirky and light-hearted. Long essay: extended rant aobut how much I wanted to get into Emory. Scholar essay- Described passion for grammar and music and their relation to my hopes for a political science major.
[]Teacher Recs: I didn’t get to see them, although I was particularly excited about the teachers I picked.
[]Counselor Rec: Again, didn’t see, but my counselor is frequently putting me up for scholarships, and mentioning what a remarkable young lady I am. It makes me feel special.
[]Hook: (recruited athlete, cured cancer- only major ones that actually would have made a difference, please) Well-rounded/active in school community and wanting to carry this over into college. Implied “moved in the middle of high school career and still ended up a badass?”

[li]Awards: Recognition at MUN conferences, different music festivals with school ensemble, solo/orchestral honors (up to state level in both), school honors, UIL team/individual, blah.[/li][]Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?: I was so scared, I was like shaking at 11:00 [I get it an hour early in central time, yay!]…I guess I was just afraid that I was too much “myself” in my application, because I’m a little awkward and rambly. I guess just don’t be afraid to show the college how much admission means to you? I can’t wait to tell everyone I know, and even some people I don’t know. The campus is gorgeous, the academic environment I want…I just can’t wait! [/ul]

crisoliva · December 15, 2007, 8:09am

I’m surprised that Emory took so many people with 1300 SAT for EA. Congratulation to all of you who got in. I’ll get in RD, see you guys at Emory ;)

noelle08 · December 15, 2007, 8:40am

Denied (oh well it wasn?t meant to be this time)

Stats:
SAT I : All mid to higher 500’s ? that’s why
SAT IIs: N/A (didn?t take)
ACT: N/A (didn?t take)
GPA: 3.83 Unweighted (school doesn?t weight already in all college courses)
Rank: Not sure, around top I think top 10%
Other stats (Awards, etc.): Nothing crazy

Subjective:
ECs/Community Service/Work Experience: around 1000 hours of community service and ECs, and over 800 hours of work experience ( allot of committed work)
Essay: decent.
Teacher Rec(s): pretty good im assuming

Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): Just a URM
Strengths: dunno, curriculum, I have a college degree (AS)
Weaknesses: My stats- you can see they’re very below average
Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: Because even though all my other factors may have been there my SATs  just too low for Emory, I agree with Mika, everything happens for a reason. I can?t argue with that.
Other Factors:
General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations, etc:
Congratulations everyone who got in!!! you all are great people and you deserved it, part of me feels bad that I didn?t get in b/c I wouldn?t get to share Emory class of 2012 with you. I wish you the BEST of LUCK at EMORY!!!.. and like Mika also said, I might be there in another year for transfer, you never know, but bye for now

stevenjm · December 15, 2007, 8:48am

geez why is everone accepted? makes me feel that I was the only qualified person who was rejected.

yeah, 3.9+ uw GPA, 2160 SAT, 760-US, 700- Math 1

NHS, Mu Alpha Theta, Youth Leadership St. Louis, JV/Varist Track, lots of community service (hunger outreach project, tutor at inner-school weekly, Hunger Outreach Project, etc) Head of Recycling club, JV/Varsity Rec Basketball League, DECA, worked 2 and 1/2 at Parent teacher store (2-hrs/wk) where I manage the store on some weekdays and weekends (like today).

What did I do wrong?

NewJerseyMom · December 15, 2007, 9:00am

stevenjm - I am surprised as well! Did one of your references say something that came off the wrong way?

noelle08 · December 15, 2007, 9:01am

Just in case any of you future Emory applicants want to know, here is the deny letter ( hope you never have to recieve it, and good luck in your endevours)

Address

Dear *******,

The Admission Committee has completed a thorough review of your application. I am sorry to inform you that we are unable to offer you a position in this entering class to Emory College.

We appreciate the time, thought and effort you spent in preparing your application for admission. The Admission Committee takes great care in evaluating candidates. Each year we invariably face the regrettable situation of denying admission to many applicants who have a sincere interest in Emory University.

An official notification of this decision will be sent to you within the next week. On behalf of the Admission Committee, I offer you my best wishes in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Jean D Jordan

GOOD LUCK ALL!!!

rodney · December 15, 2007, 9:06am

stevenjm: Maybe some more information and we will help: Obviously, we are not the experts…You may want to call the admissions people and ask them (very tactfully) why you were denied…

Rigor of curriculum: AP’s? Honors? Highest Math Course?
HS Competitive:? How many people have the same very high GPA? Class RAnk?
M/CR breakdown? (Emory doesn’t consider writing)

Also, so you can move on, what other schools are you applying to? There are some amazing publics that only want high UW GPA’s that you may want to look at…

aammom · December 15, 2007, 9:22am

it is obvious that emory, despite its proclamations, has become yet another school that only looks at grades and SAT’s. my child, who is upstairs crying her eyes out is a 4.0/5 student at a very competitive, suburban hs. her sats were 1190 her ecs were extraordinary. she has organized 2 missions to the gulf coast, each time bringing a group of friends with her. she is captain of the debate team, an nhs officer, class officer, varsity athlete and all around great kid. she has outstanding people skills.

did i forget to mention that she is a triple legacy?? both parents and a brother.

oh well, emory’s loss.

from personal experience i know that many kids who start there sucuumb to the pressures of partying and flunk out. probably a product of their parents pushing them too hard to fit the mold that emory seeks.

good luck to all of you.

rodney · December 15, 2007, 10:16am

AAmmom: Ugh, so sorry…we are RD but we feel your pain…SATs that you posted..1190? Even with triple legacy, that sounds a little low…Do you have RD schools that are SAT optional? She sounds so qualified to attend a great school…Not sure where you live or what she is looking for…
