Bernie – your post, um, does not make any sense.

Emory will admit exactly as many students as they think it will take in order to be 100% enrolled using their projected yield rates. Which is what each and every college in existence has to do. Since they all have a limited number of seats. Has nothing to do with fairness or stats whoring or anything other than doing what is needed to get 100 butts in 100 seats.

But if a school did want to manage/manipulate its yield up and its admit rate down, the single best way to do that is to rely heavily on binding ED to fill seats. Since the yield on those ED offers is 100%.

FYI, Emory admitted 48.4% of its most recent class through ED. But Emory has lots of fine company as a big user of the ED drug – Duke, Vandy, Northwestern, Penn…

Good luck to all!!!

oh Northwesty, where did you get that number (48.4%)? lol thats frightening for me as an RD applicant who really liked emory

@NervousShivers That number comes from here: http://apply.emory.edu/discover/fastfacts.php

It’s pretty scary. This is one of my backup schools, but it’s still a little intimidating now that decisions are so close. Best of luck everyone!

Just got accepted!!

@abigails98
Are decisions out already?

ACCEPTED!!!

They come out tomorrow but I just got an email saying they were notifying me early to invite me to a program to visit. It said official decisions will be out tomorrow afternoon/evening. @namelessmonster

i just got accepted too!!!

Congrats guys! Are you all getting your acceptances already because you’re being invited to some sort of program?

ACCEPTED!!! Suuuuuper excited!!! Good luck to everyone getting their decisions tomorrow, I know it must make you guys even more nervous to hear us get ours today

Congrats!
In that case

Hey, I haven’t gotten an email yet. Does this mean that I didn’t get accepted? Or is this email mainly to invite people to the program?

what program is it??? OMG this is driving me nuts!

Its just for the program. Its called Essence of Emory

From what I understand, Essence of Emory invites solely URM students, is that correct?

URM students, but also first gens and people of an underrepresented socioeconomic background.

Ahh okay, thanks @toast22 !!

@toast22 I’m a little scared rn because I am an URM and a first generation too, but didn’t get an email saying I was accepted
