- Yesterday while I was going on my way to take Biology Final exam at White Hall (almost near admissions office), I saw a lot of USPS white boxes (seems like admissions decision letter) going to the EMORY USPS station at DUC.

- Emory Admissions page indicates that the decision will come out at 7:00 a.m. on the OPUS; however, according to the last year (in case of regular decision) the decision came out earlier than 7:00 a.m. and even if EMORY always says like that, it will come out eariler!

The Easiest way to go to OPUS:

- Lastly, I hope y'all get into EMORY university

sam, cant find u on fb. congrats everyone!!!

Mika08

I think what got me was my SATs (in the 500 range for all 3 sections).

You guys are amazing! I might join you sophomore year if I decided to transfer to Emory, but I believe everything happens for a reason and that I was meant to be somewhere else.

Anywho, I'll post my stats tomorrow. I'm going to sleep now. 'Night, and again: congratulations!!! I mean it, you guys deserve it and a bag of chips.

ACCEPTED!

Stats:

• SAT: 1300/2030 (720 reading, 730 writing...580 math. :/ I took it junior year, and once I saw I hit the Emory range, quit.)
• SAT II: World History (620? 630?), Chemistry (650)
• ACT: n/a
• GPA: 3.8 on 4.0 scale, even though my transcript is jacked up.

• Other Tests: (AMC, AP, IB) AP- 10: World History (4), 11: Chemistry (3), Statistics (3), US History (4), English Language (5)

Subjective

• Essays: Common AP- Short-answer: quirky and light-hearted. Long essay: extended rant aobut how much I wanted to get into Emory. Scholar essay- Described passion for grammar and music and their relation to my hopes for a political science major.
• Teacher Recs: I didn't get to see them, although I was particularly excited about the teachers I picked.
• Counselor Rec: Again, didn't see, but my counselor is frequently putting me up for scholarships, and mentioning what a remarkable young lady I am. It makes me feel special.
• Hook: (recruited athlete, cured cancer- only major ones that actually would have made a difference, please) Well-rounded/active in school community and wanting to carry this over into college. Implied "moved in the middle of high school career and still ended up a badass?"
  

Personal

• Location: Texas

  (Different school) 11-12: National Honor Society, UIL Academics (Current Events and Issues, Social Studies), Government Club [I can register people to vote in my county!]
• Awards: Recognition at MUN conferences, different music festivals with school ensemble, solo/orchestral honors (up to state level in both), school honors, UIL team/individual, blah.
• Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?: I was so scared, I was like shaking at 11:00 [I get it an hour early in central time, yay!]...I guess I was just afraid that I was too much "myself" in my application, because I'm a little awkward and rambly. I guess just don't be afraid to show the college how much admission means to you? I can't wait to tell everyone I know, and even some people I don't know. The campus is gorgeous, the academic environment I want...I just can't wait!

Edit: Facebook-Kristin Bielling, but include something about Emory/the forum or I'd probably reject it. D: Reposted for proper formatting.
