waitlisted

<p>hey, i was waitlisted @ emory w/
1210 SAT I
3.97 GPA
STUDENT COUNCIL
4 YEARS VARSITY ATHLETICS (TENNIS)
NHS
AND THE OVERCOMING ADVERSITY STUFF
AND A LOT OF CLUBS...WHAT DO YOU THINK MY CHANCES OF ACTUAL ADMISSION ARE...I WAS ACCEPTED TO UCLA, BERKELEY, UCSD, AND BOSTON COLLEGE, BUT I REALLY WANT EMORY (#1)
THANKS</p>

<p>Really surprising that you were waitlisted, with the 3.97 gpa, assuming that is unweighted. Anyway, I would choose Berkeley over Emory anyday.</p>

<p>New piece of information - last year they took of 20 people from the waitlist. This year I talked to an admission counselor and he said how many people will be taken off the waitlist solely depends on whether above or below 1240 people decide to enroll.</p>

<p>actually the 3.97 is weighted...but do u think i can get off the waiting list and in....1210 SAT....A+++++ extra curriculars.....student council....10+ clubs</p>

<p>It's the quality of the clubs, ie leadership, not the quantity. If you really wish to get off the waitlist, I suggest you send off an email or two to admissions and write a letter or two + get another rec letter. Maybe borrow their dvd if it's still available?</p>

<p>But what the heck do I know? I got waitlisted too 1480 SAT, 4.5+GPA, Tennis, Club leadership, research, summer programs, blah. I got into your schools too and am going to attend UCLA. Good luck!</p>

<p>My son got waitlisted at Emory as well. 1480 SAT, 3.8 unweighted GPA, captan of the tennis team, volonteering, etc</p>

<p>Do you know how many people were placed on the waitlist this year? Have they started taking people off the waitlist?</p>

<p>I would appriciate any info - thanks!!!</p>

<p>I talked to an admissions counselor at Emory, and he told me that a lot of people were on the waitlist this year. Emory won't start taking people off of the waitlist until about mid-May.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot! Will have to wait and see i guess. Do you know if somebody who had been waillisted has a better chance of getting in as a transfer student?</p>

<p>According to the admissions office, it's easier to get in transfer to Emory than as a freshman. So I'd say if you were waitlisted you have a good chance.</p>

<p>they havent taken people off the waitlist yet, since they dont even know how many kids are actually enrolling. But I sent in my card today saying I won't be going to Emory, you're now both one step closer to being in.</p>

<p>i<em>wanna</em>be_Brown,</p>

<p>Where are you going? Brown?</p>

<p>i wish, waitlisted there. If i dont get off the Brown or Hopkins waitlist I will be attending Wash U. Emory is the only other school i was even accepted to. (Well, if you dont count Hopkins accepting me and on the 29th moving me to the waitlist, or Penn accepting me in early march and then moving me to the waitlist in mid to late march)</p>

<p>Well..i Guess I Have A Chance...but I Already Commited To Ucla...it Will Be Chill....</p>

<p>how can u be accepted and then moved to the waitlist?! ive never heard of that and it sounds wrong.</p>

<p>yea, I was wondering about that too... how's that possible?</p>

<p>I never got a letter of acceptance, but like Hopkins regional rep told my guidance counselor on the friday before that I had been accepted, and Penn sent me materials for accepted students along with the waitlist card. Penn's regional rep also told my guidance counselor in early march that I was most likely going to be accepted.</p>

<p>S declined Emory, Not a big fan of the school after dealing with them throughout the admissions process. Glad to give it up to a student who really wants Emory.</p>

<p>Does Anyone Have Any Idea How Many People Have Committed To Emory? And When They Will Notify Ppl On The Waitlist If They Are Accepted Or Not? I Would Assume Mid May, But, If Any1 Has Anything, Please Advise.
Thanks</p>

<p>"Not a big fan of the school after dealing with them throughout the admissions process."</p>

<p>--What do you mean? What did Emory do?</p>

<p>I declined Emory today too. Hope you can take my spot. I know Emory is a really good school and I really couldn't decide until the last minute.</p>
