In today. Call.

Congrats! Any discussion of $$ or is that to come later?

$$ later. LSAT very close to median, GPA way over it.

Looks like a lot of high GPA love so far. Congrats to those accepted.

Boo. LSAT love FTW.

Does anyone know how splitter friendly Emory is? my numbers are 172/2.73, unremarkable softs - but a strong upward trend (failed two years that I can explain in an addendum, straight As last three semesters). I'd love to live in Atlanta

Well LSN shows that Emory seems to like some splitters, but most of those with your GPA are dinged or waitlisted. I didn't see anyone with your exact LSAT score, though. I'd throw an app just to be sure, since splitter cycles are tougher to predict, but you should really apply to WUSTL, they're notoriously splitter friendly.

[fsusplitter]

Thanks for the advice, I hadn't even looked at WUSTL yet

In at Emory via snail mail today, with a very kind personal note from Ethan Rosenzweig. Complete 12/3 with 171/3.75.

Accepted via Snail Mail. As far as I can tell I never received a phone call which is strange because that seems to be the way everyone else has gotten in...

Actually I think most of us just got the snail mail. I believe they only made a few calls.

emory is not very splitter friendly. I got accepted late last year (April) with about your LSAT and a GPA a little over 3. I think Emory can get all the 165's they want, so they focus on the high GPA kids.

[Matteliszt]

That's probably the nail in the coffin of my 3.4/163. I figured I would get WL/denied, but I have no idea. I am really banking on personal statement at this point...which is not a good situation to be in.

[jlk86]

In today via snail mail! Very strange since I never even got an e-mail acknowledging that my app was complete, & I only submitted 2 weeks ago.

[Matteliszt]

Congrats jlk86!
What were your numbers like if you don't mind me asking?

[catharsis]

does emory give you a scholly with your admittance letter or do you hear back on that later?

[jlk86]

.

[Matteliszt]

Sounds like in either way. Congrats buddy!

[ze2151]

in via snail mail. very generic.

Does anybody know if Emory has any ties to jobs in Texas? I know it's doubtful, but wondered if anyone had some insight.

Here's there employment data from 2008:
http://www.law.emory.edu/fileadmin/care ... f_2008.pdf

Less than 3% of the 2008 Class went to TX, AR, or LA...almost 40% stay in GA (most in ATL). But, they do have grads in both Dallas and Houston.

I see very very few OCI firms from TX, but they do participate in a Dallas Job Fair (as well as one for many other large cities).

I'm in a similar situation... and not feeling too good

[MHutson41]

In via snail mail. It was postmarked 12/30 but got it today when I got back home.

[Veritas]

Emory sure is trickling out slowly but consistently.

[attendantgodot]

what does the acceptance package look like? my roommate left me a voicemail saying i a got a large envelope from emory that says "claim your spot" on it. im still at home for break and my roommate is at work so i can't open it. i'm assuming im in....
