Emory class of 2016 (2012-2013 cycle) Forum

It looks like 2012 is gone, she just told the Wake admission dean that she's using his school as a pawn to leverage scholarships with better schools. Some people..I just can't understand lol.

On a side note, how are you guys spending your time until school starts? I've actually started on some 0L prep work.

did anyone else on the WL get an email asking to set up a time to talk. the email said something along the lines of "you would thrive at Emory, we want to make space for you in the Class of 2016." he said he would be meeting with the scholarship committee next week and wanted to chat before then...does that mean WL scholarship money is possible?

Nope, didn't get an email, but seems like a good sign. Was it like a generic one?

Hello – this is Ethan Rosenzweig, the dean of admission and financial aid at Emory Law. I appreciate your allowing my posts from time-to-time with updates regarding the admission cycle. With our 2nd deposit deadline passed, I thought I would take a moment to discuss where we are on the waitlist process.

I am very excited that we have enrolled a phenomenally strong and diverse Class of 2016. It has been a unique year for law school admission, and thus, seeing our newest community members come together has been even more fulfilling for me, personally.

From this point forward, I will go to the waitlist when I anticipate an individual space opening up in the class. When we have a space, I re-review waitlist files that have struck the interest of me and the committee, and then, I usually reach out to the student via email to inquire if the student still has an interest. Usually, I will then talk with the student to gauge if there is a mutual fit, and then, if everything lines up, we will issue an invitation to join the community.

I tend to work with waitlisters fairly individually, so if you receive an email, I do hope you will respond. The class you will be joining is one of the most accomplished, academically strong, and diverse in Emory’s history; it is such an honor to be among a group that has made so much community impact...even before they have their law degrees.

I know how uncertain the process is for everyone, and I will continue to provide updates periodically throughout the summer. We have admitted people all the way until orientation, so I appreciate folks’ patience.

As always, you can also reach us at admission(a)law.emory.edu.

Thanks for the update Dean Rosenzweig.

Just to clarify, does that mean that right now (deposit wise) the class is full?

doubtful. I know a few people who put deposits down but don't intend to attend.

I do not think the class is full. I was offered admission with a generous ~30k scholly/yr a little over a week ago or so and turned it down yesterday in favor of another option. Good luck to everyone still awaiting their answers!

I just accepted late, despite being past the deposit deadline. Emory has been really fantastic and flexible with me. Shoutout to Ethan Rosenzweig! It was great getting to meet you out here in Colorado Springs.

Since this is my first check-in thread, I'll go ahead and say it:

169/3.2, Chemical Engineering Major.

Sounds like we have some other engineers, and people from upstate NY schools! I second the feeling: glad to get out of upstate NY and back to the balmy south.

ATL baby!

Looking forward to meeting all of you in 6 weeks.

Did EVERYONE get the wait list update, or am I special?

[gatorgirl2012]

Got the e-mail too. Nothing in it suggested to me that I'm special IMO

I got it too and I never sent an LOCI, so seems like it was everyone.

[Dratini]

Got it too.

[mehh]

Me too. Anyone know how many people are still on the wait list?

[BlueJeanBaby]

I've withdrawn on two different occasions and still got the email, so I can almost assure you that it went to everyone haha.

[purpledrink]

But my momma told me I was special

[kjb]

Received it as well. Still waiting patiently with my fingers crossed.

[apreel]

I got it too, but my optimism is waning...

waitlisted, but got my score back today from the June LSAT and it's well above Emory's 75th percentile. It remains my first choice because I want to stay in Atlanta despite having t-14 calliber #s (girlfriend/family reasons). Should I expect to get in with good money or will I probably be reapplying in the fall?

Try the What Are My Chances forum for better responses. It sounds like a reapply is your best option, though.

[ookoshi]

For personal reasons I would rather not discuss openly, I won't be able to attend a full time program, so I have withdrawn as of yesterday, meaning there's at least one more spot for one of you guys.

[DoveBodyWash]

Friends! Please vote for me in the Class of 2016 thread! The voting process is explained in the OP of the thread. LET US RISE AGAINST OUR T14 OPPRESSORS! THEY CAN TAKE OUR JOBS BUT NEVER OUR....well...shit.
