Just thought I’d circle back with news: after some research and consideration, D decided she is staying put with Barnard. Had she been accepted off of Emory’s WL two months earlier (and not this past Friday), the outcome might well have been different, but right now she’s really happy she’s attending Barnard and is excited to begin the year on Barnard’s campus. Best of luck to all those still waiting!
any news from oxford? I’m not feeling my current college rn and I’d love to get off the waitlist lol
So we have till midnight to decide, any input appreciated
Northeastern honors and Emory University
Boston vs Atlanta
close vs far
low covid vs high covid
rank 40 vs rank 20
leaning toward premed…
Any input would be appreciated…
I believe it does depend on the strength of the applcation. A little luck as well.
@roxinthebox what other school are you letting go for Emory? What is your planned area of study?
@pbagga hope you decided what to do. I’m biased, but own advice would be to stick with Northeastern Honors. Congrats and good luck!
thanks for your input; we were all set with Northeastern; got email that he got off the wait list last Friday and have till today to decide; Emory’s better on paper, I think he will excel more at Northeastern but tough call
Same - our daughter got off Emory WL last Friday as well. After some soul searching and some research, she decided she’d be much happier at the school to which she committed (Barnard). The Georgia Covid situation didn’t help, and she had already met/reconnected with several friends who were going to be at Barnard or Columbia.
Had she been accepted even a month ago - and had there been no Covid - the decision easily could have gone the other way. The great news is that there is no wrong answer. Our kids are finally done and on their way!
did you do anything further to help get u off the waitlist?
Would you be willing to share what you put in your LOCI? I’m REALLLY trying to get off the waitlist lol
hey! yea for sure. i rlly stressed how much i wanted to go there by demonstrating my interests in specific classes/research!try to emphasize how u fit into their school and how the school helps u reach what u want and why basically they are THE ONE that can do so!
if my regional counselor has not emailed me back after about a week, should I email again?
Mine hasn’t either, I guess they are just busy
