Entering as Sophomore
Entering as a Sophomore
Accepted with:
Top 20 Public University
College GPA: 3.42
HS GPA: 4.28/5
SAT: 1490
ACT: 34
Essays: 8/10
EC’s: Kind of average although I did get some exec board positions as a freshman (no fancy internships tho)
Letters of Rec: No idea tbh
I think my main draw was my essay in which (since I lived so close to Emory) I talked about how I wanted to branch out of engineering and instead acquire a more well-rounded liberal arts education. It also helped that I visited the campus and back and forth throughout the year.
Rejected
College transferring from: Pepperdine (US News ranked 46 in 2019)
Entering as: Sophomore (I applied as a rising junior to Emory’s business school so even Emory accepts me I have to do an extra year. I guess this is one of main reasons why I got rejected. Emory does not want me to spend one extra year at college even though I mentioned that I am fine with it in my essay).
Major: Business Administration- Applied to CAS
GPA: 3.71
Units completed: 62 units after Spring semester (GPA 3.77-3.78 after Spring)
Pre-reqs completed: I took Business Calculus so I am not sure if Emory takes it. Maybe they want me to take Calculus 1? However, I didn’t see any math requirement on Emory’s website.
Essay: 9/10 (I started two months earlier and revised it with my sister who graduated from an Ivy League university. Also, I even submitted two supplemental essays that are not even required.)
Letters of Recommendation: 2 (very strong) (close relationship with both professors- one from Business Statistics and one from Public Speaking class)
Other schools applied to: USC, UCB Haas, UCLA, UCSD, UCI
Rejected by: UCB Haas, UCLA
Comments:

I got “A” in all the business classes that I have taken in Pepperdine: Financial Accounting, Business Calculus, Business Statistics, and Organizational Behavior. I thought this would be impressive. Most GEs I got an “A” or an “A-”. But I got two “B” in two Pepperdine only classes and that’s why my GPA is not a 3.8 or higher.

I was so shocked that I got rejected this afternoon. I thought that I had a good chance considering that I had very strong letters of recommendations, essays, and decent grades considering that I am transferring from a top 50 and not a CC. I am so disappointed about the admission results. I guess Emory doesn’t want me to spend an extra year at Emory College before applying and entering to the business school. Anyways, USC and UCSD are my only hopes now.
Congratulations to all who got in. Always tough to say why some get in and others don’t and that doesn’t mean that those who don’t are undeserving.
Does anyone have the GroupMe for the Emory class of 2022? Or any other emory group me about social events on and off campus??
@anatomygeek34 is there one? all I know is the facebook group linked in our acceptance letters, but they haven’t approved my request to join yet
Yeah I’m still waiting on my request to join the Facebook group to get approved
same, still waiting to join the facebook group
Would anyone like to join if I make a group me?
Have any of you received the FA package yet? I know the acceptance letter said it’ll be released within 48 hrs.
Still waiting for mine too
Did anybody else receive a request for missing financial aid documents today? I received an email back in March about my missing documents and I turned them all in before the financial aid deadline, but now I have new tasks in my To Do list on OPUS for more forms. I don’t understand why I wasn’t notified earlier that I still needed to upload more documents. I thought I would get my FA package today, but now I fear that it may not be as generous since it’s considered late.
Does anyone know if admitted students will receive paper letter or package from Emory?
Has anyone received their financial aid package yet? I had an issue with my noncustodial waiver and still haven’t heard back yet,
I havent gotten anything for financial aid. they said 48 hours but its been more than that. Plus I submitted everything on time so idk
They haven’t sent jack.
Nobody’s request to join the Facebook group has been approved yet. But yeah I’d like to join a GroupMe!
Whelp. I just got my financial aid package. Looks like I won’t be attending Emory after all.
