Emory Class of 2028 Official RD Thread

Oxford is a small LAC. Has around 400 per class. After the second year you go to the main college. They are not really near each other. I believe around 30-45 minutes away?

My rejection also says to apply again after two semesters, does everyone’s rejection letter say this?

yes, which is great. Thankful for that option!

Hi, just curious if you got accepted as we received this email too, and my daughter is traveling and has not got an opportunity to check the results yet.

One of my sons was accepted to both Emory campuses but likely will not attend due to cost. We thought there was a small chance of some scholarship aid but not the case.

S24 was accepted to Oxford campus but waitlisted at Emory campus. We initially did ED2 to Emory campus and withdrew ED2… maybe it negatively impacted the result. maybe.

Shoot D24 rejected from both (and Vandy today)

3.98 UW GPA
ACT 36 one sitting
NMF
Captain of speech and mock trial team
5s on all 6 APs so far and 4 APs senior year
Rejected from every school except state university (which she likes) and one high admittance LAC

Disappointing but she’ll do fine where she’s wanted and has a great attitude.

Congrats to all who got in!

S24’s does

Search Emory Common Data Set and it will give you the stats. For that matter you can search most schools using the same query.

in 2022 Emory WL something like 6k and ended up admitting 107.

take the full tuition and go to Lehigh or BU!
that’s awesome!

Your list shows how random this all is in some ways. I think my daughter’s list shows the same thing. I agree with the other poster that full tuition at BU sets your daughter up for life success! Take it and don’t look back!

My D24 was also waitlisted at Emory, Vandy, American, and Tulane.

Accepted at Pitt and Drexel with full tuition covered.

Accepted at Richmond and UNC Chapel Hill with full ride.

Accepted to Swarthmore and George Washington University with partial merit.

Accepted to USC and Claremont McKenna no merit.

Rejected from UChicago, Georgetown, WashU.

She is waiting for the Ivies today, but we are strongly encouraging her to take the full ride.

We are so thankful for the full tution offers because we do not qualify for FA. My daughter based her list mostly on schools that offer merit and business programs plus what she was advised from her school counselor and kids at her high school. She started writing essays in august through mid February! We did not tour or show any demonstrated interest to most schools except for an online info session to some. Lots of merit rejections from vandy emory m, WashU etc but so thankful for bu and Lehigh. We will tour and decide. Our first college tours! She was never set on one college so she’s all in for a college that helps us the most.

I made a separate waitlist thread: Emory Class of 2028 Waitlist Thread

For those that were accepted in the RD round, did you/your student receive an acceptance letter or package in the mail? Our S24 did not and while it’s irrelevant (he has already decided to commit!) we are curious because he/we have heard mixed feedback on what (if anything) they send.

S did, but it took a long time (I think it was last week, and we’re local). Nothing terribly exciting—stickers and balloons.

Thanks for the prompt response! Glad to hear confirmation that something was sent (even if not overly exciting lol).

I did! The package is actually so cool!
