<p>A friend of mine who got in yesterday said that the email she received (telling her that she’d find out her decision earlier because she was invited to a special event for URMs) said that decisions for the rest of us will be released before April 1st. Obviously, that doesn’t tell us much about when (it could be as late as the 31st by that wording) but at least we know it will be earlier than the date they’ve said previously! (which is nice for me, because I’ll be on a flight out of the country the night of April 1st)</p>

[/ul]General Comments:
I’m grateful to have been accepted. Good luck to everyone else!</p>
<p>I’m guessing that the special URM program was why people were getting decisions a week earlier than announced. Anyways, I won’t be going to Emory if accepted, but who knows, maybe Atlanta will wow me- I’m a sucker for southern charm.</p>
