[<em>] ECs listed on app: Drama Club; Thespian Honor Society; German Club; Culture Club; Debate; Community Service
[</em>] Job/Work Experience: Held 3 jobs at one time during 9th and 10th grade. I now have an internship at a doctor’s office.
[<em>] Essays (subject and responses): Very very good…as told by a handful of people who’ve read them. They were extremely personal and dealt with hard topics on race, finances, struggle, adversity, and even marriage and how I hope college will open up more doors and opportunites never offered to me before. (Without a doubt, my essays definitely pushed me into the admit pile. Thank you for AP English Language and my awesome teacher!) Also, my why Emory essay was very interesting. It combined my passions for theatre and biology and what I hope to accomplish by studying both in college.
[</em>] Teacher Recs: I read one and it teared me up. She knows me well and she was able to pull in some personal touches to it and was also able to talk about my home life. The other, written by my AP English Language teacher, I’m sure was just as personal.

I love their theatre department and the fact that it’s right in the city. I can’t wait to visit just to see how much more I will enjoy the atmosphere. My only “disappointment” is that my online acceptance letter was messed up! The words and sentences were scrambled together and it made reading it a pain; I still cannot make out some of the words, but I was definitely able to read “Congratulations on your acceptance to Emory College!” Congrats to everyone who’s gotten in so far, and good luck to those still waiting! :)</p>

<p>is everyone who got in so far a URM?</p>

<p>so… if you are a URM and didnt get your decision today is that bad???</p>

<p>yes, everybody who has got in so far is a URM - Emory released certain URM decisions today so they could plan for their minority acceptance weekend</p>

<p>what about those of us who are overrepresented minorities?</p>

<p>so I sm in the same boat as bri1291991. I am a URM and did not get anything does that mean I am rejected?!?!</p>

<p>did someone received any kind of “advertising email from Emory?”
’ last year when they were done with urm they sent email to the rest of applicants , telling them how great was Emory !</p>

<p>Does your OPUS change at all when your admissions decision comes up?
Like, for accepted students: Do you see an email address @emory.edu, or do you have access to the housing links?</p>

<p>i had no idea my acceptance was up until i looked at this thread haha. i was like o hey i’ll check just for the heck of it. no email. just went to my opus page, admissions, check decision letter, and there it was.</p>

<p>so have they only posted decisions for urms so far?</p>

<p>are they gonna come out with everyone elses decision today also? or will that be this week? anyone know?</p>
