<p>Congrats to everyone who has been accepted! I applied EDI waaaay back in October. If you’re planning on going to Emory, make sure you join the facebook group for Emory '13 My name’s Rosie Tang, so feel free to add me. My parents work at Emory so I’m pretty familiar with the school. If you have any questions feel free to ask :D</p>
<p>I was accepted with a 25. I was just as qualified as the other white/black/asian students. How is that a surprise? I was even invited to Essence of Emory. I’m a top minority with a 25… I keep telling you people that ACT/SAT means nothing… I got in because Emory needs someone like me.</p>
<p>Yeah,
I can’t say anything, I only got a 28…
I kinda knew that Emory would accept me, just a hunch, they have been sending me e-mails every other day since freshman year…</p>

<p>Uh VandyPrayer, check out the other people that are accepted. They are MUCH more qualified than you are. You are black, which in my mind means add 5 points to your ACT and that is your “white/asian” score.</p>
My name’s Rosie Tang, so feel free to add me. My parents work at Emory so I’m pretty familiar with the school. If you have any questions feel free to ask :D</p>
