<p>Anyone how has read my posts on the Ivy League threads might me surprised to find that I have decided on EMory. I don;t want to say that I went to the highest bidder but basically thats what happened. EMory is a great a school, frankly better (for me) than any of the Ivies. I'm very excited about my future school. For all of you about to get you decisions remembere Ivies arenm't the be all and end all.</p>
<p>Are you RD? If so, are you a minority and that is why you received your decision early?</p>
<p>Congratulations on your acceptance/decision!</p>
<p>I was an emory scholar applicant and received the full ride.</p>
<p>Um...believe it or not, not every Emory applicant applied to Ivies. My daughter didn't, she wasn't interested in Ivy schools after she visited Emory. So that's at least one. Probably there were a couple others. LOL.</p>
<p>^Same with me. Honestly, I didn't think I would be quite ivy material, but was planning on applying to one or two because I knew it might not be all that impossible. However, after visiting the gorgeous Emory campus and becomming basically obsessed with reading everything about it, I really felt that it was the perfect school for me and applied ED 1. And honestly, I wasn't all too keen with the idea of heading to the Northeast anyway. I'm from South Florida and the fact that the seasons actually do change in Atlanta greatly excites me but, I would NOT be able to deal with a 7 month winter. Not that the weather is the main reason for chosing Emory...far from it.</p>
<p>O and I don't think "SEWcurious" was really saying that most Emory students had been ivy applicants...just that several happen to be.</p>
<p>i didn't apply to any ivies and i applied to emory</p>
<p>I'm going.</p>
<p>SEW: Message me on LearnLink. I'm a fellow Woodruff Monkey.</p>
<p>I actually applied to Ivies (got a likely letter) but i'm going emory next year.</p>
<p>i applied to emory and i didn't apply to any ivies....way too overrated for undergrad (i know that's a generalized statement, go ahead, rag on me haha)</p>
<p>Congrats/good luck to all of you. Emory was actually the only school I applied for, period (got bored halfway through the WashU application, lol) and I couldn't be happier. :-)</p>
<p>Yesterday, my S found out that he got accepted at UPenn and Cornell (CAS)! Guess where he is going this fall? Emory!</p>
<p>Shahein & SEWcurious, he is a Callaway Monkey!</p>
