I think decent shot at both. The question is, why do you want to transfer to those schools?

Because I am very unhappy at my current school which is where I am from. In addition, I wish to practice law elsewhere and would be quite content working and living in Boston or Atlanta.

Is it normal to not have heard anything so late in the process?

I haven't heard anything from Emory. But then again I only applied about two weeks ago.

Sorry to hear that. Still no word from Emory, it is probably a rejection letter sent snail mail. What others you looking at?

No others, just Emory left... Is that how Emory notifies you of a rejection? Not email?

What about you? What are your stats?

I'm top 25% at a strong regional T2. I got into Bama and WUSTL. Still waiting on UT and Emory.

And I have no idea how Emory declines people.

My app at Emory has been under review for two and half weeks. If I get dinged i'll let you know how they do it.

Hi Ditka!

Yeah I've been under review for about that long too... Will do the same if I get dinged...

Hope we'll all get in though!

Thanks! UT is definitely my top choice! I have already decided I wont go to Emory even if admitted; but if I get dinged I'll let you know the method.

Has anybody heard anything? S. Goodman, just curious if you were going to withdraw since you don't plan on attending?

I emailed the admissions and plan on calling later today to find out if they have a date/time they plan on notifying us. I would assume it would be early this week as Emory starts class in two weeks.

Ok great, please let me (or us) know what they say!

Thank you!

In the email, they said they are hoping to get decisions out this week.

:evil: JP!

That answer does not please me but I hope we'll both get in.

Is Emory your top choice? It is for me or else I am back at my old school...

Yeah Emory is the only school I applied to. I was not happy with that answer, I need to sign a lease today or tomorrow if I am staying where I am at.

Oh, sorry to hear about the lease...

I guess you're not in Atlanta? Neither am I, plus I had to pay my school's tuition today- sucks!

So I received an email essentially getting transferred waitlisted. They now won't tell me to next week (ie they want to make sure everyone shows up before they tell me no).

YEP- received that email too... My pain is being prolonged because I was going to give up after Friday...

I honestly thought they would decide by Friday at the latest...

I wonder if they actually told anyone that they were rejected.
