<p>@ Chimikins - That is heaven to my ears. I will call them tomorrow and see what my situation is.</p>
<p>Considering that you turned in your stuff 1.5 weeks ago, I think I’m good even though they received my stuff a few days late. :)</p>
<p>Also, I wonder what they have to say about the my parents’ income tax forms which need to be signed even though they were signed when I turned them in…
Anyway, my parents faxed it again for me today, with their signatures again of course.</p>
<p>What kind of housing are you guys opting for?</p>
<p>I think I might go for the Woodruff Single Room just because I don’t know anyone at Emory.</p>
<p>I’m going to rent something off campus. North Decatur seems nice.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when they’ll let us know about our financial aid awards? I turned all of my financial aid documents way before the deadline so I’m just anxious/curious/wondering. (:</p>
<p>Newleaf in the same boat!!! still waiting on fin aid</p>
<p>I called the office today and they said everyone should have it by next Wednesday, and if you don’t have it by then you should give them a call.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks a lot @ThaMan! 
And good luck to all!</p>
<p>Has anyone else decided what they are going to do for housing?</p>
<p>Second year students are required to live on campus, so I’m still deciding where to apply for housing. </p>
<p>Like I mentioned before, I’m probably going to go for a single student room but I’d like to hear what you guys are going to do just so I have an idea.</p>

<p>I just got Financial Aid letter through e-mail. A little bit lower than I have expected. But I realized that they did not include any loans (is this for everyone?)
I will be able to afford if they offer some loans</p>
<p>@allisonnian- I got the FA email last night as well. I feel that that the amount that they are giving me in grants is lower than what I need. However, they did tell me how much they will give me in loans, and still, I feel it is not enough. </p>
<p>I believe that on their website, it says that there is a way to appeal your aid offer. I’m going to go read that first and then decide what to do. It looks like they didn’t take into consideration the email that I sent them regarding my dad’s lay off.</p>
<p>I have yet to receive an email…</p>
<p>Has everyone else received their financial aid?</p>
<p>Starting to get worried T_T</p>
<p>Hi guys, i’ve been lurking in this thread for some time… I am accepted by Emory, but it’s like a bitter sweet because I am also accepted by U michigan-ann arbor, and U virginia. I just don’t know which one will better fit me…
Anyone can give me some advice? I want to major in either chemistry or physics, and I would like to go to grad school. Which one I should choose? Thank you for your patience and your valuable suggestions!!</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten a financial aid letter yet either…
I emailed them and they said its going to be out this week.</p>
<p>@wilson: at this point, I would choose the one who gave you the most financial aid. however, if you want to major in chem or physics then i would recommend emory because of the smaller, more intimate classes. otherwise, it’s really a toss up. they’re all great schools, so no matter where you choose, it’s fine.</p>
<p>Just got my financial aid and boy am I disappointed. I’d have to pay a little too much to go to Emory, so I don’t think it is even an option. I don’t understand how Emory Advantage works, because I easily qualify for it.</p>
<p>@ SAT100, I got seriously screwed too.</p>
<p>Come on… I couldn’t believe it when I looked at my financial aid… My family is middle class but we recently filed for bankruptcy T_T . We can’t afford $50,000+ a year for two years! That’s why I attended a community college in the first place! To save my parents $60,000+ dollars. </p>
<p>Oh I really love Emory and I would love to attend! I’ve spent two years trudging my way through a community college so that I could finally attend a great college/ university. Now that I’m here I can’t afford it T_T.</p>
<p>Appeal… must… appeal…</p>
<p>Why is housing 13,800 a year T_T ?</p>
<p>If I manage to scrape together enough money to attend, I’m going to be living in the cheapest, smallest apartment that I can find. </p>
<p>UIUC is starting to look like a great option for me T_T …</p>
<p>^Downtown Atlanta housing won’t be cheap. It shouldn’t be 13,800 expensive either though. I currently pay around $600 and I live in a suburb of Atlanta.</p>
<p>Yea, seems like Emory is not an option for me. I figured I might qualify for Emory Advantage since my parents have a combined income of less than $60,000, but I guess not.</p>
<p>I got screwed too. I got the email about my financial aid for Emory today and I would have to pay a little less than half. I have a sibling who is about to enter college and I don’t think my parents can afford the EFC Emory has determined for us…</p>
