<p>Go to your other choice that offers you aid so I can take your spot!!!lol just kidding…
I hope you can work something out with the admissions…</p>
<p>So if the rest of us don’t hear back by end of this week, would they be pretty much done? I remeber reading someone posting that the wait list activity will likely end by the week.</p>
<p>Thats a pity…I think they had pretty big pool of waitlist students…</p>
<p>Hp7260,
Nope did nothing to show interest. Haha : (
I feel bad about that.
I showed interest @ uchicago and northwestern and got waitlisted and rejected, respectively.
I actually marked fin aid on my app that I submitted EA for oxford and RD for emory…
So way back in OCT.
But I never sent it in : (
My gosh darn honest mistake : X whatever.
Guess its just not meant to be
</p>
<p>To simonsimon,
I officially declined my offer : )
I was a bit heart broken bc now im stuck going 2 a state school (uiuc)
But too be honest, it just wasnt worth it for me… not bc emory is not a great school…
Bc it is … there are SO many opportunities offered in atlanta
But honestly… emory is not MY dream school… uchicago is
And simonsimon, I know for other waitlisted kids… (like yourself) emory is their dream school
And its unfair for me to commit to emory and then do a last minute drop out for an other school
My parents ended up agreeing to support me for 52K a year which I really appreciated.</p>
<p>So im going to a state school for a year then transferring (hopefully) to an ivy.</p>
<p>I really hope everything works out for everyone : )</p>
<p>So at 9:48 this morning, my admissions counselor called me and told me that I was accepted off the waitlist!!
Seems like i’ll be going since they gave me more money than I expected.</p>
<p>To those still on the waitlist, keep praying and good luck.</p>
<p>^ Congrats!!</p>
<p>I think it’s quite clear at this point that Emory has two wait lists, one for people they’ll actually take, and one for people who haven’t got a chance in h*** but are put on a list because it’s fun messing with their mental health. Yeah I’m bitter.</p>
<p>cpiers - Thanks. Don’t lose hope because it’s not over until it’s over.</p>
<p>WOW so people are still getting off the list?
cpiers, lets not lose hope!!! keep prayin!!! ill mention u in my prayers :]</p>
<p>Reckon Emory will accept people off the waitlist within the next few days until the deadline?</p>
<p>No one really has an idea of how exactly, when, and how many students they accept. The waiting is killing me.</p>

<p>Is Emory giving out admissions decisions today?</p>
<p>It’s June 1. This sucks.</p>
<p>So this is it? 
</p>
<p>Arent they supposed to send us something saying that they’re done taking ppl?</p>
<p>I am a student at Emory, and I do love it here. At the time I was convinced that the school I had put down a deposit at would have made me miserable. And while I do love Emory, a few years later I see this all with a much clearer perspective. A few things to keep in mind & some suggestions:</p>
<p>Things to do:
What I did (and worked, clearly) is I wrote emails and letters to Emory. I wrote to anyone I had encountered or talked to during the admissions process, and different academic departments I was interested in. It paid off for me. I would keep them short, to the point, and clear and discuss why Emory is a good fit and what you can do for Emory. </p>
<p>If you can, visit. Emory is huge on demonstrated interest. But MAKE SURE YOU FILL OUT THE CARD IN THE LOBBY THAT SAYS YOU VISITED! </p>
<p>Also, simonsimon, they will inform you when they’re done taking people off the WL. </p>
<p>But if you don’t get in, read this:</p>
<p>1) The fact that you even get to go to college is extraordinary. It makes you one of the most privileged people in the entire world.</p>
<p>2) The school I turned down offered me incredible financial aid in the form of merit scholarships. I assume many of you are in a similar position. And though I turned it all down to go to Emory- and I don’t regret that- I no longer see the school I would have gone to if I hadn’t gotten in as so horrible. Bottom line, you’re going to have a great four years.</p>
<p>3) college is about what you do while you’re there. So even if you’re less than enthusiastic about going where you are going, throw yourself into the activities there.</p>
<p>4) Also, I am willing to bet money my GPA would have been much higher if I wasn’t at Emory…haha</p>
<p>Hope this helps- ya’ll are in my thoughts and prayers.</p>
