<p>Congrats to those accepted to Emory Class of 2014! Good luck to others who were not and hopefully you receive some good news in the future. Hang in there! Please include your stats to help future Emory Applicants get a better idea of what it takes to gain an Emory Acceptance. I was looking through the other thread and there were a bunch of waitlists! Anyways, please post!</p>

<p>Here is the format for when decisions do come out. The trick is to take the spaces out of the brackets before you post. If you don't then the formatting won't work. Once again, PLEASE TAKE OUT THE SPACES IN THE BRACKETS for the formatting to work! Thank you!</p>

<p>Holy S*** @ the stats of the people rejected. </p>

<p>miracleshappen, give yourself more credit. You got waitlisted with 1890… the other dude got rejected with a 2310. That means that stats are not everything. The admissions commitee obviously saw something in you that they liked… maybe your personality. Good luck!</p>
