Got Off The Waitlist

<p>GOT OFF THE WAITLIST HOLLLLLAAA. Just for everyone's information, the lady said I was one of 10 ppl that is being offered a spot off the waitlist. I will be unfortunately turning it down as I am attending Cornell.</p>

<p>What are your stats? When and how did you hear from the admission office?</p>

<p>It was realllly strange, I also got a call this past friday, asking if I "would like to be reevaluated from the waitlist." I had an idea that this was Emory's way of screening me to see if I was still interested before offering me a spot. BTW, my stats are as follows and you can see that me like a lot of ppl was waitlisted b/c emory didn't think we were coming, and I showed NO interest watsoever, did not write a letter after my waitlist, did not have my GC call, NOTHING. LOOK what happened, i guess, life is pretty funny sometimes.!</p>

<p>1450 SAT I, 750, 740, 750 SAT IIs</p>

<p>My son would really like to go to Emory. His stats are:
SATI: 1480
SAT II: 750 Math, 740 Biology, 720 Writing</p>

<p>He feels like his world has shattered and I am not sure how to help him. I guess luck plays some role here as well.</p>

<p>wait, so you let admissions reevaluate you, and take you off the waitlist even though you were already going to cornell?</p>

<p>I had no clue what their "reevaluation" meant. I told the person on the phone that I am going to attend Cornell, and the person said to wait 24 hours to let us know, to make an "informed" decision. I was like ok.</p>

<p>I just DECLINED my offer of admission from Emory. Good luck to everyone.</p>

<p>Yeah, I got a screening call too.</p>

<p>"Would you like to remain on the waitlist at Emory?"
"Yeah, of course."
"Well, in that case, I'd like to offer you admission to Emory College!"</p>

<p>I'm still going to WashU. Thanks for the trophy, Emory!</p>

<p>P.S. Before you start flaming me for accepting a waitlist position that I'm not serious about, remember that my spot is withdrawn after 24 hours-- I'm not stealing anything from anyone.</p>

<p>same hereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~~~~!</p>

<p>i havent heard of a single person who got rejected from emory...just a miillion waitlists. but im sure theyre taking more than 10 ppl since we already have 2 on CC haha</p>

<p>i always figured that waitlist pretty much = rejection, but i guess not! ive heard of quite a few ppl getting off waitlists at colleges everywhere... hmm</p>

<p>also--sabnetwork, what made you choose washu over emory? im looking at those 2 as well</p>
