Emory Scholars Date

<p>haha I went to my commonapp and print previewed for the why emory essay.
and I had my scholars essay on xanga…</p>

<p>edit:
yeah I’m really lucky and grateful that I got such great opportunities in hs, because I know
I def. want to do research in college. my aspiration for the next for years is to work at the CDC</p>

<p>Um, so like, ten minutes until midnight? Considering that they haven’t sent out an email, however, I’m assuming that we’re waiting until tomorrow morning…sigh.</p>

<p>jmw - what school do you go to? (aka where do you live?) It sounds so scandalous!</p>

<p>7 minute till midnight!!!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Straight from the website jym posted… it might not be on OPUS at all <em>cries</em></p>

<p>Silly, we called and asked! The lady said Saturday morning ONLINE.</p>

<p>5 minutes until midnight!</p>

<p>maybe…they haven’t updated it in 2 years?
<em>smile stupidly and nods</em></p>

<p>(panic panic)</p>

<p>2 minutes…</p>

<p>I feel like a freaky obsessive psychopath right now.
I’ve been on CC for like an hour just trying to kill time :)</p>

<p><em>agrees because I can’t imagine having to wait for postal mail, especially since I’m in California, and thus it takes 3 days as opposed to 2</em></p>

<p>2 minutes until midnight! I really don’t think they’re updating, though…</p>

<p>Hey, don’t crush our dreams yet. Wait 2 minutes first.</p>

<p>Or one as of now…</p>

<p>or none (here comes the onslaught…)</p>

<p>tako:I live right next to tiny Oxford, home of Emory, oddly enough. The area used to not be so bad until maybe 5-7 yrs ago when the county starting exploding in population (cheap housing, people trying to escape Atlanta.) The problem is that a bunch of gang members ended up moving from Decatur and Lithonia because their parents were trying to keep them away from bad influences.</p>

<p>Now murders, rapes, robberies, etc. are alarmingly common considering how quiet the area used to be. There’s a bit of a positive feedback with wealthier people moving out. And as such, the schools have started sucking. 85%+ of people failed the AP exams, the average ACT is a 17 for my school, SAT a 850 or so.</p>

<p>It’s bearable, but definitely not the optimal place to try to learn. I’ve seriously considered dropping out rather than deal with the crap.</p>

<p>…And nothing.</p>

<p>Dang. (10char)</p>

<p>no email either. this sucks!</p>

<p>dun dun dun
my dreams are crushed…</p>

<p>jmw - that blows! At least you’re coming to Emory, eh? I’m sure education’s going to be phenomenal there :smiley: Actually, I already know. </p>

<p>So…who wants to stay up all night with me? Hahaha.</p>

<p>That was anti-climatic. Nothing happened.</p>

<p>Haha tako… I would but I have work tomorrow morning…</p>
