I'm not sure I'm going to Emory. I've pretty much narrowed it down to WUSTL and Emory. If I go, I will be turning down WUSTL, Carnegie, Hopkins, Cornell, and UChicago.

i turned down emory for cornell becuase cornell gave me much better financial aid. If money wasn't a consideration, I very well may have choose emory.

I'm going to Emory. WUSTL didn't give me any money, only UChicago and Emory did. Even if Emory hadn't given me money, I still think I would have picked them over WUSTL - idk woulda been a hard choice (I'm a tennis player so athletic facilities and tennis have a lot do with the choice, just so you guys know what perspective I'm coming from).

I'm very excited, but turning down WUSTL, Carnegie, Hopkins, Cornell, and UChicago was pretty hard.

D turned down Wesleyan, William and Mary (hard decisions turning down both of these), Bucknell, Colgate, Lehigh, Dickinson, Syracuse and a wait list at Williams. However, deferred matriculation until '09. Spending this coming school year in Israel on the Nativ program which is a semester at Hebrew University and spring doing community service and leadership programs.

I turned down Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Duke, and USC for a full scholarship to Emory. Best choice I've ever made !
