Reapplying While Deferred From Emory

Colleges and Universities A-Z Emory University

I’m currently on a gap year, and deferred from Emory last year. Over the gap year, I’ve realized that I’m not sure if Emory is the right fit for me for a multitude of reasons. Am I allowed to apply elsewhere during my gap year?

I figure that I’ll lose my enrollment deposit if I do go elsewhere, but don’t want to run the risk of having my offer at Emory revoked and then nowhere to go.

Here’s Emory’s deferral policy:

  1. Deferred admission may be granted to admitted students who have paid the required non-refundable enrollment deposit.
  2. Deferred students may not enroll in another college or university as degree seeking. A deferred student who enrolls in another institution as degree seeking during the deferral period will forfeit the deferred admission status and the enrollment deposit.
  3. Deferred students must submit a final high school transcript and/or other appropriate academic transcripts.

Any advice would be appreciated!

If you don’t want to go to Emory, does it matter if the offer is revoked? My guess is that if you are bright enough to get into Emory, you have other options and my advice would be to go where you feel you will be most successful.

I wouldn’t count on any answer you get from College Confidential. You should call Emory and find out.

I don’t think that the admissions staff at Emory will be bothered at all if you call them and ask.

@acmmca How did you resolve your situation? Did you enroll at Emory or apply / enroll elsewhere?
