<p>DudeDiligence:</p>
<p>You are correct. I did read the letter from the Dean of Admission incorrectly… here is what it says exactly: “Out of approximately 17,500 applications, the Admission Committee has selected an especially strong group of students for the 1,350 seats in our first-year class.” </p>
<p>I received this letter via email on April 20th. We had been talking about Emory since she received her notification April 1, but had not received her Financial Aid offer. We received her offer about the same day this email was sent,and since the deadline is May 1st, decided to make a quick trip to Atlanta. We had never visited the university, but after the tour and talking with a few people, we thought the opportunity was too great to pass up. I have paid her deposit, so she is officially enrolled.</p>
