i received mine last week. check your email. i was required to send in additional paperwork.
Has anyone received an acceptance package?
define accpetance package. Do you mean acceptance lettter or award letter by mail? because it is all online, emory mentions that they will not mail anything.
@Attransfer2016 ,I applied as a transfer to Emory as an incoming sophomore this past spring and was rejected. I had a 3.75 college gpa and had very compelling essays, and applied as media studies.
I am applying as a transfer again for next fall…I am building up my resume and applying for their Psych-linguistics program (I changed from media studies to psych at the school I am at now). But I wanted to ask you, as someone who was accepted, do you think reapplying will increase my chances? Especially as a sophomore?
Have you checked on there reapply policy? Emory states you can not reapply in the same year. @chaptowntransfer
If I am not offered admission as a spring term applicant, can I re-apply for the fall term?
A transfer applicant denied admission for the spring term cannot re-apply for the fall term of the same calendar year. The next term one would be eligible for would be the spring the next year. http://apply.emory.edu/apply/transferstudent.php
@arce96 my bad, I could only apply for fall 2017
@chaptowntransfer Yeah sorry about that. I think the only way to reapply one semester after another would be applying in the fall and then applying in the spring of the same academic year.
Do you think its worth applying with a 2.8 cGPA first semester but with a 4.0 high school and everything else fine?
@whatiscollege112233 : I wouldn’t do it until your GPA increases but you can try. They are much more interested in your college performance. They wouldn’t want to weight the past. If it is because you have an unusually rigorous schedule (maybe somewhere at like an engineering school) or major, then maybe they would entertain admitting you if you can get it past a 3.0 after another semester. I have heard students transfer from some of those LACs with rigorous STEM programs with a “low” GPA before (like 3.1 is what one of my friends had, she was transferring from Wiliams).
Okay sounds good. Ya I am a neuroscience major and had all science classes and what not. I feel like the transition really messed with my academic ethic compared to how I usually perform and my grades/leadership and the rest. Especially since it’s just the first semester of my freshman year I am not sure if I should even try. Emory admits 32% so I am really not sure.
@whatiscollege112233 You need to wait. Is your school a state flagship or another selective college or university? That is the problem if it isn’t. You will have to transition to Emory’s courses and neuroscience major which is pretty rigorous just in terms of the number of courses required and the fact that you must complete a 4 course core. This isn’t even accounting for difficulty of many instructors. You have to pull up the GPA to get them to trust you with another transition. I would work really hard next semester (or maybe next year when you get your chemistry and biology pre-req courses out of the way). if you are still interested in Emory and then consider applying then.
@bernie12 It’s a state flagship university. Yes that is true, thank you so much for the help. If I still do consider applying, for the midterm report (where you need to get instructors to sign off on how we are doing in our current classes), do I just go to my professors this semester and just ask them if they can sign their name? I feel so awkward talking to these professors especially since they hardly know. Isn’t it weird for a student who has just been in class for like a month and a half to ask how I’m doing in the class and for a signature? For my two recs I found it challenging enough to take them out to lunch and then ask them a couple weeks ago for the rec. One of the professors I asked did not even know my grade so I can’t imagine how these new ones will react.
@whatiscollege112233 : I guess, I am unsure. All I can say is that it is impressive to get them out to lunch. That isn’t even the easiest thing to do at say…Emory. Usually the instructor is the one who does those invitations. You will just have to make it a point to do well on first round of exams and get to know them (maybe via office hours) then.
