<p>I was a 2012 Emory Scholar Finalist this year, and I did receive the Robert Woodruff Scholarship (Full Ride). I think I posted most of my stats earlier but I can post a more complete version if you want. I believe 55 people were invited to the scholars weekend and know that there were 47 of us there. I know at least 10 received full rides (Woodruff or Calaway) and about 10 received Woodruff Research Scholarships (Full tuition plus 5,000 grant) and everyone that I know of received full tuition. I know that the John Emory (2/3) was supposed to be awarded to about 7 of the scholars, but know no one who’s admitted to getting it. So an estimated answer to manchester44 would be 10-10-20-7 (Full Ride, Full tuition + 5,000 grant, Full Tuition, 2/3 tuition). </p>
<p>In previous year the program was much larger (inviting 75 for the weekend, as I’ve heard) but with the economy the scholars decided that they would rather make the program smaller than lessen the myriad of benefits. The general distribution I’ve heard of in the past year or so is 60 come to the weekend 20 full ride, 20 full tuition 20 2/3.</p>
<p>As for which one you get, it seems that the interviews is the biggest factor even though they can take your application into account. I can talk about the interviews in more detail if people want that (I suspect everyone will be focus on getting to that stage latter). This explains why I received the Woodruff, even though my application and stats were some of the weaker ones there, I aced every interview. Word is you can bomb one interview and still get the woodruff. On the other-hand, everyone gets something last year someone apparently slept through an interview and still got full tuition. I can talk about the interview process in detail if people want to hear it, but I suspect most of you out there are focusing on making it to semi-finalist or finalist status next year. Hope this helps and Good Luck! :)</p>
