<p>JuiceboxHero...did you show interest in Emory..like ordering their DVD or visiting before applying??</p>
<p>Oh yes..
My essay is really good, the Why Emory one..
I ordered their DVD.
I called and e-mailed my admissions lady 5 times (roughly). She knows and remembers my name.</p>
<p>Does anyone have concrete stats or anything?</p>
<p>hmmm...maybe your GPA got in the way of your great std. test scores....I heard Emory looks more at GPA than at std. tests</p>
<p>naptown06, did you get your acceptance today in the mail?</p>
<p>no i got mine on monday, i did not expect to get in after being rejected from chicago and georgetown so i was freaking out when i got the package, i could tell what it was because of everyone else's description of it..i walked around the rest of the day with the stupidest grin on my face!</p>
<p>If I haven't gotten a letter yet, does that indicate that I got rejected?</p>
<p>Someone checked the database for me and said that my name wasn't on there. I am really worried. Is there any chance that maybe they didn't enter all the names in the database or that your name doesn't get inputed until after you log in?</p>
<p>"hmmm...maybe your GPA got in the way of your great std"</p>
<p>??????</p>
<p>Standardized tests= std. tests</p>
<p>Note the period to indicate shortening.</p>
<p>Otherwise, I would like to note that life is nothing but a sexually transmitted disease in and of itself.</p>
