Fall 2016 Transfer Thread

Nothing. I’ve read they’ll send an email out about a week before the actually release with information about it. Hopefully we’ll get that by Monday.

Let’s hope.

@laithshehadeh. Looking on previous years’ threads, it’s hard to know. Your GPA is certainly competitive. On the Fall 2015 thread, a couple people were denied with 4.0s. It seems like Emory weighs who you are very heavily. I’m certainly no expert, but I have read just about every post on CC about Emory transfers. From what I have read, the essays seem to be the difference maker, so to speak.

@Attransfer2016 Thanks for the advice. I was just admitted into Vanderbilt, so we’ll see what happens. I think my Emory essay was the best. I’d be happy to link it if you’re interested in reading it.

@laithshehadeh sure. Send it on over. Don’t send it publicly though!!

sent! @Attransfer2016

@arce96 : You may have a shot assuming essays are good. Just get ready to work if you want to be a chemistry major at Emory.

has anyone heard when we will be notified about acceptance or rejections?

I spoke with an admissions representative. She said we should be expecting an email soon with an exact date and time of the release. She wouldn’t say an exact day, but said it won’t be tomorrow but could possibly be Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. My guess is still Friday.

The date is May 1. I just called a few minutes ago.

Did you ask what time?

No. I forgot.

They close at 5. So if you want. You can.

nevermind. I guess the lady at admission told me the wrong date.

Just got an email saying it’s thursday at 3

Same here, Thursday the 28th @ 3:00. Dear Lord Jesus, I am so nervous.

Just got the email. Thursday at 3. Good luck to everyone!

Did anyone else turn something in the fin aid late ?

I just got an email saying that decisions come out at 3:00PM ET on April 28th.
