<p>In other words, is a student who is qualified for Emory statistics and extra-curricular wise goign to be rejected because he or she doesn't show enough "interest?" By interest I mean interest through essays, and even checking off those little box thingies on the Common App Supplement. So, is interest goign to make or break a student?</p>
<p>Hope I'm coherent enough.. I think I'm statistically qualified, but my essay was pretty generic... yikes</p>
<p>in regular decision especially, emory does care about your interest in the school. you should have at least checked some of the boxes to show that emory is not just a safety school for people who want to go to an ivey. when i was at an information session, the people told us that you don't have to worry about checking them all off, it only affects about 5% of the people who apply. hope this helps.</p>
<p>what are those boxes for those of us who applied on the emory app?</p>
<p>Its supposed to say
talked to admissions counselor
talked to college counselor
gone to information session
requested information
requested DVD
visited campus
etc</p>
<p>oh, i see.thanks for your advice! i personally checked off:</p>
<p>College fair
Local Emory reception
Emory website
Friend
Guidance counselor
Letter from a department
Letter from the Office of Admission
Emory student </p>
<p>I hope I don't fall in that 5%! I hope I checked off enough, too.. ahh</p>
<p>you're safe. nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>haha, thanks, i've been really worried about emory especially. we'll see the outcome though, for all of us...</p>
