Emory Scholars Question

<p>Does the scholars committee for the Goizueta scholarship look at the actual application to Emory as it critique potential scholars? In other words, are the Why Emory essay and the Common App essay also looked at besides the Scholars essay and teacher/counselor rec. during the selection process for the scholarship?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Also, what do you think is the number one aspect that the committee looks for in an Emory Goizueta Scholar?</p>

<p>I can’t remember for sure, but I think being a semi finalist for these scholarships gives you an admissions decision (accept or wait till Regular Decision), so I’m sure they look at them in some sense. If you mention business in your Why Emory and your common app essay, they’ll consider them in some sense yes, but they’ll pay more attention to your Scholars essay.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure those who look at Gozuieta don’t read all your other essays.</p>

<p>i just called them and they said that first, you gain regular admission. they they send all your application materials to gozuieta to look over for scholars consideratin.</p>
