OPUS Admissions Deposit Link: Accepted?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Emory University

<p>Nope nope...there is no button that says you HAVE to make a deposit. There is one link off the admissions page that gives you instructions on how to make the initial housing/acceptance. Learner service-->admissions-->pay your deposit on line-->instructions on how. This is different from the other financial link on how to set up an account. That will give you an error message.</p>

<p>On the to-do list my son's has listed the FAFSA and the student W2s with the disclaimer that the page will be updated on March 7 if you have sent either of these items. We have. I guess we'll go check next week and see if that message goes away. We have something from FAFSA that says it was completed. </p>

<p>His mid years were sent at the end of January. It does not show up on the to-do list, so mmood yours must have been received.</p>

<p>MMood87, it sometimes takes much longer than 5 days for the office to update information they have received. We sent in our FAFSA and other financial aid stuff and that notice is still up, which they say will be updated soon. If your materials are still being processed, they probably wouldn't have an admissions deposit link up yet (even if you are about to get accepted).</p>

63

<p>what about the student and parent signatures?</p>

<p>i'm 98 percent sure that i signed those (i printed the sheet of the internet)</p>

64

<p>It takes a while to update everything, but if you sent those in before Jan. 15, you could call to see if your application file is complete.</p>

65

<p>man.. :( i'm getting kind of discouraged that i don't have a link... :(</p>

66

<p>I read some archived posts from last year in March. Applicants seem to have gotten their acceptances at different times for regular decision. Some were as early as March 10, according to one post, while others did not get a letter until around April 1. So, no one should conclude anything yet...</p>

67

<p>good luck everyone! hopefully we'll be hearing back real soon... (i don't really feel like waiting until April 1 though!)</p>

68

<p>Ah but you must! Did you see on the news today where 199 prospective students hacked into the Harvard Business School website to see if they had been admitted. Harvard has tracked them down, and they will not be admitted!</p>

69

<p>Yeah, thats crazy... I can't believe that happened! And it was not only Harvard - Duke, Dartmouth, and others! Can't imagine that lol</p>

70

<p>texastaximom- there is nothing wrong with looking at a link on the site Emory provides for applicants to keep up with their status. I do not think anyone is taling about hacking here.</p>

71

<p>I was being facetious jax....telling them they must wait for their good news. Apparently some folks did not. I didn't know that it extended beyond Harvard Business school smart--wow.</p>

72

<p>So is everyone convinced that if you see that link you are accepted?</p>

73

<p>I would say it might be a hopeful "signpost," but I would not announce to anyone that "I've been accepted to Emory"</p>

74

<p>YIKES~! My D's "pay admission deposit link" is now gone! Did anyone elses disappear?</p>

75

<p>Mine did too. :(</p>

76

<p>Yes it is gone here...perhaps they realized that they did not want this link on any of the pages just yet, prior to mailed decisions, since it could be misinterpreted as some sort of sign when none was intended.</p>

77

<p>Whew! At least it wasn't just my D's! Wonder if word got back to Emory and they said.. "we'll show them", LOL!</p>

78

<p>You'd think they'd enjoy watching the hit counter spin! :)</p>

<p>Would this count as "demonstrated interest?"--sorry I just couldn't resist. It's that crazy time of year.</p>

79

<p>lol i thought of that as i have been checking for that "deposit" link on opus all week. oh well guess they caught on & I can stop looking</p>

80

<p>oh man now i have to wait for the letter...do admissions offices really keep track of how many times you have accessed your status?</p>
