Emory 2011 Forum

[law4vus]

Finally back in the USA and got my acceptance letter at my permanent address.

Received 42K total for 3 years with a 167, 3.3. Pretty excited!

[sportsguy88]

No worries, I was actually trying to provoke some Braves fans into some friendly banter.

Heyward and Freeman are gonna rock your world.

Yeah, Heyward is legit. 3rd best rookie last year, behing posey and Ike Davis.

I'm just going to pretend you didn't say Ike Davis and attribute it to being a New Yorker. In response to Posey, http://chop-n-change.com/2010-articles/ ... tions.html

i guess no one remembers neftali feliz was the best rookie last year? and i'm even a texan. it's just obvious and not even that close.

[bport hopeful]

That article is ridiculous and I can't believe you posted it. So bias. I especially like the paragraph that basically said "if he hadnt hit like shit for half the season, he would have been really good. And yeah, Ill admit Heyword is a straight G, but not the way that article makes him out to be. I also like how the article calls him a franchise saver. Psht, he wont even be there in 2 or 3 years.

[samilabuena]

ANYWAY

Congrats, law4vus!

Withdrew today. Good luck to all.

[law4vus]

Thanks, guys.

With me somehow getting onto the WL at Georgetown, my cycle is pretty much over so I'll most likely be in Atlanta.

It looks like Emory is raising their tuition by over 4K next year??? Jesus.

Forget the words, just look at the stats. Most advanced stats have him as a top 10 hitter last year, and his insane OBP at age 20 is only matched by HOFers. Yes, everyone who is in his class at age 20 is in the HOF or is a shoo-in. But I suppose it's Ike Davis (he of the .176 Isolated Power, where .200 is about average for 1st base) that will be remembered in 20 years.

[bport hopeful]

Heyword had a couple good months coupled with a bunch of shitty ones. I remember the shitty ones just as much as the good. And stop using asinine statistics.

Also, dont forget hes more likely to be a Met than a Brave within the next few years.

[sportsguy88]

Heyward had exactly one bad month, in June, while his OPS was handily better than Ike Davis's year (.791) in every other month. But I suppose statistics are "asinine", and we should just take your impeccable memory of 2010 as truth.

If the Mets really had the Yankees' ability to blow free agents out of the water they wouldn't be looking at 4th or possibly a last place finish this year in a division with the Nationals. Madoff really screwed your front office's season, don't take it out on an actual contender.

[law4vus]

So when can I check back to this thread and actually read something about law school?

[Omerta]

It's going up by 1,700 (estimated increase).

this year, 42.9k:
next year, 44.6k: http://www.law.emory.edu/admission/admi ... ition.html

I'm staying at Emory to study over spring break. Maybe some of y'all will be in my tour group! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the school.

If I haven't heard back yet, does that basically mean i'm NOT accepted, or has the "third wave" not gone out yet?

If you're really a Puerto Rican with a 3.8, 165 then worry about which T-14 you're going to attend instead.

All joking aside, I'd be extremely surprised if you weren't in. I'm a non-URM and got in with a 3.3 167. I know they have their 166 wall of death but that doesn't really apply to URMs.

I'm a URM with your same LSAT/slightly higher GPA and haven't heard anything

[beachviolet11]

judging my the early complete dates on LSN and the fact that so many people in the last couple weeks got $ I'd say that we have just finished the first wave. so i think people who haven't heard shouldn't worry except that i doubt they will be giving out much more $ since they have given out so much already.

You'll be fine, I'm sure of it! When did you apply?

As the admission people have said, they have only had their first wave (maybe two). So 1/3 of the spots should still be available. Maybe you are just one of the unlucky ones who got reviewed so late. Take it easy!

Emory just started giving decisions a few weeks ago. I have a hard time believing they have already made 2/3s of their eventual offers.

Hey all I'm trying to plan something and don't have my letter with me at work: Does anyone know off-hand/can anyone look at their letter to see when the seat deposits are due? The website tells the amounts ($250/$500) but doesn't give the dates... Thanks in advance!!

April 15 iirc

Thanks that must be when it is, because that's what I was thinking but I wanted to be sure.

[crit_racer]

I don't know about the 2nd one...that's so many months and possible waitlist acceptances away...
