Accepted early because of an invitation of Essence to Emory! 
Same I didn’t get an e-mail either and I am a URM, why do they do this to us potential rejectees, it’s like a slow rejection. sigh
@AeeROx I thought I had a good chance too because they invited me to apply and even gave me a fee waiver! I will be very upset if they deny after asking me to apply! Especially since I wrote my essays from my heart! :((
So now I am a little confused… as my daughter was also accepted via email tonight, but she is not as another poster put it…
“URM students, but also first gens and people of an underrepresented socioeconomic background.”
She was accepted and invited to the same thing though… so maybe Essence is more than that… or maybe they got confused. Either way, she was happy to be admitted to Emory.
Those who got invited to Essence of Emory, could you post GPA and test scores? I am a urm too and didn’t get invited, so I’m guessing that means a rejection tomorrow.
@Scholar526 Same here tbh. I only seem to be getting Ls and I am so nervous.
@WWWard I said that becuase of a picture of an acceptance email that I saw from a group message. I’m not 100 percent sure if it’s limited to those factors, but I believe the qualifiers normally fall within those categories.
@toast22 Understood.
Well she is quite a mix… 1/16th Native American, 1/16th Mexican, 1/4th Indonesian… but the balance is European caucasian. And not First Generation. But… maybe it is simply because she was also a QuestBridge Finalist.
But good luck to those waiting for admission tomorrow…
This is an exact quotation from the email, hope it helps.
“Students invited to Essence are traditionally either first-generation college students, or they are from an underrepresented cultural or socioeconomic background.”

Accepted yesterday
Accepted
Congrats to all of you guys accepted!! Fingers crossed tomorrow goes my wayy! ahhhhh 18 more hours here we go
Oh damn, stay up to me I guess? Slow rejections suck. I’m apart of an URM, first-generation, low-income, etc etc but I wasn’t invited to this program…is everyone who was invited from the South? I’m from New England, hopefully location had something to do with not getting invited 
I was invited to essence of emory, with a 3.9 GPA and a 32 ACT
ACCEPTED!! I was invited to Essence of Emory last night
Congrats y’all!! Guys as an international student from Iraq should I be worrying about not getting an email? If I “were” accepted would I have been invited to the “Essense of Emory” program?
@Tothelimit are you a URM or first gen student?
@StellarsSting same:/ what are your stats? I have a 31 ACT and 3.8UW/4.2W. Taken 9 AP exams with all 4s and 5s (taking 2 more this year). Also an IB diploma candidate
