<p>How long does it take to walk from the Anthropology Building to Callaway Center.</p>
<p>@Matisyahu Like, less than two minutes. Callaway is right across the little bridge from the anthro building if you’re heading towards the quad.</p>
<p>Someone mentioned the net price calculator; don’t use that. It was horribly off for me, told me that we’d only get like $20k or something like that in aid total? Yeah no I paid $10k total to go to Emory this year. Even if your income is over $200k, I would still apply for aid. You never know how they’ll look at it. We had really weird circumstances involving my dad’s income being dramatically different in 2010-2012 because he works for the DoD and went overseas (difference in danger pay, etc). Even though they saw a lot of income for 2010 (Afghanistan = lots of danger pay), we were able to explain that that is not at all his regular income and he’s currently making probably $100k less than he did that year. They obviously took that into consideration for me.</p>
<p>Also, with the need-blind not reaaally existing, I agree. My regular public high school ends in “Academy” instead of “High School,” and we were basically told by my counselor that if someone from my school applied to a top tier school and we were compared to someone with the same stats from another high school in my county that ends in “high school,” they would give us preference just because “academy” sounds private/richer.</p>
<p>Yeah NGP, that sounds like a lot of elite schools w/very solid fin. aid packages. They tend to have their “bases” which they recruit or admit heavily from (think Woodward Academy in Atlanta for Emory/GT or even places like Gwinnett School for Math and Science) that just so happen to have high income applicants and a history of students who go on to succeed at these schools. I would imagine that recruitment from these “bases” is heavy so that they can get enough full pay applicants to “help” (only help, because tuition is nowhere near enough to cover most university expenditures) cover those receiving very generous and near full fin. aid packages. This phenomenon can probably be partially offset if they find a way to raise money for more scholarship funds (which are endowments usually funded by various benefactors of the University or philanthropists of all sorts). If there were more scholarship funds for varying types of academic achievements or interests (as opposed to basically mainly awarding it to those who could likely get into say, Harvard, based upon stats and their heavily padded resume) of incoming students, it may result in more academic diversity of matriculating students in addition to softening the blow of Emory Advantage on Emory’s financial strength. They could simply pull from a combo of scholarship funds/endowment and fin. aid and give it to lower-income, “non-Harvard caliber” (As in, does not have darn near a 1600 on the SAT and a 5.9 GPA lol) admits that show aptitude in a subject that the U wants to increase participation or interest in.</p>
<p>There are some public schools in wealthy areas that produce a ton of high achieving students. I went to a school like this (although I would say that most super-wealthy people in my hometown went to private schools), and most of my friends got into graduate schools that were statistically harder to get into to than the college they got into for undergrad. Maybe times have changes, but I felt like students at my school were at a disadvantage when applying to schools, because top colleges will only let in so many students from one area of the country. Some high schools just have a really competitive culture and somehow motivate their students to work harder. I know of private schools in my area that had very selective admissions, yet amazingly managed to produce less qualified students than my public high school.</p>
<p>Yeah, your school is pretty much like the Gwinnett School for Math and Science. These students are pretty intense and seem to usually achieve A’s in Emory’s introductory science work w/much less effort than other students (they were probably taught at a similar or higher rigor prior to coming), particularly better than those from other Georgia public schools (people from Atlanta’s private schools also do well, but this is not too surprising since Atlanta has some ridiculous private schools for a city in the south).</p>
<p>Bumping this because the first page answers quite a few questions accepted students may have.</p>
<p>NewGeorgiaPeach: so what youre saying is freshmen should answer yes to wanting to live in LLCs?</p>
<p>Parent of a freshman here. Yes, do the LLC and go for the newer dorm. My son really enjoyed living in new dorm (Hamilton Holmes). </p>
<p>Anyone have any advice for rising sophomores? How tough is it to find parking? Any info about living in the Complex? Any interesting but not too tough classes anyone can recommend? My son is done with his GERs and needs to find interesting classes to take next year. He is pre business. He already is set to take financial accounting and a continuing writing class.</p>
<p>Where do you select you want an LLC? I took some survey and said I wanted it on there but it said that was only a survey… it was required and for housing, but on the housing application, it didn’t mention LLCs.</p>
<p>Last year it was on the living preferences form when you log onto the “My Housing” portal. Maybe they aren’t doing them anymore?</p>
<p>@sanguinee I think you choose on the FRE survey.</p>
<p>I couldn’t find it on the website, so I’ll ask here. Are you allowed to double major across schools? For example, could I major in Economics from the CAS while also joining the undergraduate business program and majoring in BBA? Or at the least, are you allowed to take courses across schools? Thanks
Also, have you ever felt that the lack of a football team negatively affects school spirit?</p>
<p>@lbouchard yeah I know you can easily double major. You’re just going to have to apply to the bus. school after your 2nd year and then you’ll be in both.</p>
<p>you guys mentioned that there are ways freshman can bring a car on campus, how so?</p>
<p>^ Probably by getting an upperclassmen to buy a parking permit for you.</p>
<p>Unless you go to Oxford, it’s technically forbidden for freshmen to bring cars on campus. However, as sanguinee noted, if you can convince an upperclassman to purchase a permit, you can park on campus.</p>
<p>I know I asked a question about the BBA program’s primary and secondary depths before, but I’ve got one more now. </p>
<p>Is it possible to have 2 primary depths, 1 secondary depth in addition to a college major?</p>
<p>Example: Accounting and Finance (Two primary depths), International Business (Secondary Depth) and Computer Science (College major)</p>
<p>It is allowed? Probably. It is actually possible, even if you attend summer sessions? Probably not. In part, it’s because the computer science department doesn’t have many sections of courses–a required course may be offered once a year. The business school (even if you’re doing minimum requirements) will require a lot of courses that are very likely to conflict with what you need for computer science. The business school will also limit the extent to which you can double count courses from one primary depths to other primary/secondary depth.</p>
<p>Thanks aigiqinf. What if I minored in Computer Science? Would that lessen the burden and make it easier to complete?</p>
