@sugmanotation - That was not enough time for them to have considered your mid-year grades.
@ryandryu My DD will be running XC and track for Emory!

Just spoke to my college counselor and she told me that the acceptance rate for ED2 was 9% compared to ED1 which was 33% because they took too many people ED1 and they try to only fill up 49% of their class early and the rest regular. So, if you didn’t get in you’re not alone, 91% of ED2 didn’t either.
@fengggg123 thank you for that… emory has been my dream school and I got rejected last night. i’m regretting a lot of things right now…
@fengggg123 I wouldn’t believe that tbh. Just a way to feel better about it. If that is the case sinse they accepted 560 ED1 then that means over 1150 people applied ED2 to get a 9% acceptance and 49% of the overall class enrolled. Which is very high applicant pool for ED2.
Also the acceptance rate for ED1 was closer to 29%. The year before it was 31%. No way the rate would increase 2% with 13% more applicants.
Emory and peers is just getting very hard to get into, and it has nothing to do with how capable one is if they get in or not. You’ll end up where you belong, just trust in the process.
@emorynavy : "The year before it was 31%. No way the rate would increase 2% with 13% more applicants.
"
That didn’t make any sense. What do you mean “no way”? If they see more (amount that is) very qualified applicants in the ED1 pool, it would make more sense to pull from that more aggressively than banking on magical yield/interest levels from all those they will admit from RD. The actual numbers contradict what the person said, but you can’t claim that the ED1 rate should go down simply because it was higher last year and that there are more applicants this year. If Emory makes sense and is trying to pick qualified fits, then there would be no need to artificially deflate the admit rate of a binding admissions plan for the sake of optics. Simply because one would rather have them do that doesn’t mean that they would or should. Emory isn’t some other schools that would do stuff like that. What makes less sense is the 9% thing. I don’t know about all of that. That would be quite a decrease from the first year so I am more skeptical about that. However, I’m also not going to apply faulty logic to explain why that sounds “off” to me. I really don’t know and don’t have the app. numbers.
@they accepted 503 students ED1 last year with a 31% acceptance rate. You have all the info you need to do the math, and see that it doesn’t add up, to a 9% acceptance rate for ED2.
@Creaky welcome to Emory and to the team!
Rough guess - but they accepted about 38% of the Emory College class in ED1 and probably accepted another 12% in ED2 (about 160). Im pretty sure less people apply ED2 than ED1. Assuming there was about 1k applicants in ED2 (vs 1,900 in ED2), acceptance rate would have been about 16%.
So someone has the ED2 numbers? I don’t suspect 9% either, but I definitely don’t have numbers yet to say that something doesn’t add up. It makes no sense to mention ED1 to speculate about ED2. Hell, we rarely know the total amount of RD applicants. We usually can only can calculate ED2+RD numbers, and normally someone tells us the ED number which has recently been very close to RD numbers.
I don’t know where these ED2 or ED1 numbers are coming from. There is no guessing, they accepted about 29% of the students in ED1:
http://news.emory.edu/stories/2018/12/er_early_decision_admission_2023/campus.html
The ED1 number is out there (official from the Emory admissions office) already.
The general theory is that they usually accept 50% of the total class in ED. So if the class size is about 1440 (excluding Oxford), that would be 38% for ED1 and 12% for ED2.
Where is 29% coming from? It’s looking like close to 40% were accepted in ED!.
None of this is an exact science. Their stated goal (right in Emory News) last year was 1,350 and they wound up with 1,440. They did take in what would have been 49% of 1,350 in the ED rounds but the real percentage was 46% based on 1,440.
I don’t believe Emory would impose a 9% limit or make it more difficult in an ED2 round than in an RD round. I don’t believe it either. When all of the stats come in this coming fall, we can do the math and see what the number of EDs are and what RDs are.
