<p>Well yes and no. They are both on Emory’s Atlanta Campus (Goizueta is maybe a 2 min walk from the college). However, they are different schools within Emory. The same way the Law school is different from the college. Goizueta is Emory’s Business School. So if you choose to go the BBA route you would be enrolled in the Business Schools and not the college. </p>
<p>How do I even view my admissions decision. I don’t see anything on OPUS.</p>

<p>Waitlisted…</p>
<p>Haven’t been able to log in into Opus. Does anybody had the problem of not having their information (social security and email address). Been trying to log-in for a month now and called the help office but they were closed. Anybody had this problem?</p>
<p>Rejected at Emory College. Accepted at Oxford.</p>
<p>ACT: 27
UW GPA: 3.8
URM</p>
<p>Does anyone know how many people usually get wait listed?</p>
<p>Accepted to Emory and Oxford.</p>
<p>Wait Listed at Emory; Accepted at Oxford (probably will attend)</p>
<p>2050 SAT, 30 ACT, 3.58uw/4.68w, top 20%</p>
<p>^Awesome BlueDevil! Might want to reconsider that username though…</p>
<p>There seems, just from casual observation, to be a sharp uptick in the number of applicants wait-listed this year. I’m wondering if Emory employed the strategy of accepting a large portion of students with high stats likely to be accepted elsewhere as well, with the underlying idea that if some declined, they have a strong pool to fall back on. Point being, though traditionally a “wait list” verdict was almost always synonymous with a rejection, Emory may pull a greater number from its wait list than normal. Perhaps I’m off, but nowhere else have I seen this many applicants waitlisted.</p>
<p>Accepted! I don’t think I’ll be attending, but I need to see the financial aid letter to give to my school (for research). Does anyone know how to access it? </p>
<p>WashU and many places (with lower yields) employ similar tactics (I know Georgia Tech abuses the waitlist). However, I think a while ago I accidentally came across waitlist statistics for Emory, and it was actually a lot of people (in the thousands). I likely won’t be able to find it again, but I think this isn’t really much different from before. Also, I question this tactic as it will cause many to simply lose interest (especially if they have been denied elsewhere). For example, one may be more likely to just give up and matriculate the state flagship honors program at this point, so putting so many people on the waitlist for that reasoning is risky. In addition, I feel as if it just says: “I don’t want to compete for these students”. Also, how do they choose. For example, the parent on here who said her son who had almost perfect stats. gets in (but of course will not come because they didn’t get a scholars finalist offer), but someone with similar stats (who was also scholars caliber, but was not invited). is waitlisted. One thing I hear is that they are attempting to reduce the amount of pre-healths. Perhaps a person with very high stats. who is pre-health (and mentioned it in essays) is more likely to be waitlisted than a person with very high stats. who is interested in something less common. It’s kind of like: “You would make a good pre-health, but let’s see how else we can shape a class. Let’s see if we can shake things up a little”. I think Emory admissions under Latting is looking to kind of reshape the incoming class make up a bit. Hopefully, it will eventually reflect the millions of other things that Emory is good at. However, I am uncertain of the efficacy of this sort of scheme.</p>
<p>@theatergeek234 Do you know the percentage of students that are accepted to Goizueta BBA every year from Oxford College?</p>
<p>Around 3/4 applicants to Goizueta are accepted. I don’t see any reason why the Oxford numbers would be lower. Keep in mind that the figure is somewhat misleading since a number of students are either weeded out by the prereqs or decide that they don’t actually want to do business and instead pursue another major. </p>
<p>Accepted to both Emory and Oxford. Very surprised I got into Emory but I will take it. I think my choose a class essay did it for me! 32 act, no subject tests, 3.6 UW (bad freshman grades brought it down but I explained that), great recs and EC’s. I guess it goes to show that mostly C’s freshman year isn’t always a killer haha. Congrats to everyone, I will hopefully see you there!</p>
<p>ACT 29
gpa 3.83 (uw)</p>
<p>accepted to emory college with $15k (Liberal Arts scholarship), which apparently means I was a semifinalist? I received a likely letter a month ago. So now the likely letters inform semi-finalists?</p>
<p>Not necessarily, I think the non-finalist scholarships are being allocated to those who they see fit to receive them. There could be a correlation, but I don’t think everyone with a likely letter will get some sort of money. Notice how you got a niche scholarship. If they don’t fit the profile for the other scholarship offers, they likely won’t get anything. </p>
<p>@Bernie12, your comments about the Waitlist are dead on, re: students losing interest. My daughter agreed to be put on the waitlist, but later she said, “why should I go to a school that waitlisted me?” And then, she read the FAQs and said, “that’s just great. I have to wait until June, and then MAYBE I can get in? And by that time, I’ll have already decided to go elsewhere and then I have to switch?” She was not at all interested in that whole scenario, and frankly, my husband and I aren’t thrilled about putting down a non-refundable deposit at another school, which we will most definitely lose if she decides to go to Emory.</p>
<p>I had no idea there were thousands in the waitlist. That is just crazy!!!</p>
<p>Agreed jocjarmom! S was waitlisted by WUSTL a couple of weeks ago and it had been his #1, followed by Emory. When he didn’t get an invite to Scholars weekend for Emory, he knew Emory was most likely out of the running, financially. (So, if they were manipulating Scholars invites as a way to protect their yield, as discussed previously,they blew that one!) Regardless, S wanted no part of the waitlist at WUSTL (and frankly, neither did I!) - he said if they wanted him, then they should have accepted him. </p>
<p>So, just as Bernie12 mentioned above, S will attend a state flagship Honors program for free…and at this point, he is pretty happy about it!</p>
