<p>How important is it when a school sends you links to apply using their personal application? </p>
<ul>
<li><p>I'm guessing that this type of college recruiting is pretty new as my siblings never saw these during their application processes. </p></li>
<li><p>have a lot of people received these emails?</p></li>
</ul>
<p>...I've received a few emails from Emory in which they have extended their deadline for me to use their personal application and waived the fee...</p>
<p>unless you have some hook which was the reason they singled you out, it probably wont make much of a difference. If you were targeted because you're NMSF, or some other award type of thing than it might help them to simply greenlight your application.</p>
<p>yea i dunno...the minority status might have something to do with it- I was just wondering if it's the school's form of a likely letter or something. On the other hand, they might just need more minorities</p>
<p>I got one of those e-mails, it's exactly the same as a regular application, I have visited and that's the reason I believe I got one</p>
<p>what is a personal application?</p>
<p>The special application is just a marketing tool sent to all who have expressed previous interest in Emory. I spoke to my admission rep and he said it made no difference at all whether you submitted the Commonapp or Emory app. They just prefer online to paper app.</p>
