Do we have a general idea of when decisions are released, besides “Mid to late April”?
Usually it’s the last Friday of April I suppose.
How do you check the financial aid checlist?
Chance me?
I am transferring in as a philosophy major to Emory from a Florida CC. I would start as a junior. My gpa is 3.79 with 4.0 in all three philosophy classes I have taken. The only classes I have gotten lower than an A in was a B and a B+ in 2 separate Math classes, and a C in a nutrition class.
I won an award for my school. (best Student Philosopher)
The professor who gave it to me was an Emory Grad, and previously a professor there. They gave me a letter of rec
I also got a letter from my government professor, which talked about how I was selected to help tutor students and maintained extremely high grades on his tests.
Those are my stronger notes, however my EC are kind of weak.
I was treasurer my sophomore year of psych club
helped tutor
Worked full time job at call center
in some improv groups.
I think my essay was at least average quality.
Also when do you historically hear back
usually thursday. prob last thursday in april but who knows for sure @moosingmodestly
this thread isn’t as active as others
About 2 more weeks until we hear back. Kinda nervous :o…
even sooner probably 
@potato133
Do you guys think I have a chance for transfer admission?
College GPA: 4.0
High School: 3.4 weighted GPA
SAT-1500/2400
I took 10 AP Classes All in total
I am a black male from the hood, who watched his cousin get shot by gang members, and has had to take care of a mom who had a stroke. But I have some very awesome extra curricular activities. I am president of my school’s debate team, and I’ve had to be the coach and president because our school couldn’t afford a coach. I am ranked as the best teenage orator in my city, and one of the top 80 orators in the nation. First black to win the California State championship in speech and debate. I started a tutoring program for black students at my school, because blacks were performing way lower than other ethnic groups. And because of that program, all of the failing black students who participated in the program ended up passing. I interned for a state senator, and when interning for him I hosted a debate tournament for inner-city youth. In addition, I wrote a bill called AB 672 which gives assistance to prisoners who are wrongfully convicted. The bill that I wrote was actually voted by the California State senate and signed by the state governor, and now the bill I wrote is now in effect. I also have won several awards for Mock Trial, Academic Decathlon, and I am a columnist for a local newspaper. I also have stopped a lot of peers in my neighborhood from joining gangs and getting addicted to drugs. My grades are low, but I’ve done amazing things. Do you think that they’ll look past my low high school gpa and test scores and give me a chance?
does anybody know if decisions for sure come out next week like if anybody cared or something? they say end of april which is next week but other schools have been behind schedule
@amoore001 I think I told you something along the lines of this in the Vandy thread, but if you don’t get admitted, nobody deserves to get admitted.
Did anyone else submit financial aid information extremely late? I was unaware of the deadlines and only got a notification of missing (financial aid) materials a few days ago. I submitted my stuff today. Hope this isn’t too big of a problem if admitted.
