this wait is killing me

Scholarship info was with the acceptance packet. $54,000 for a 3.3 /166.

You have really good softs or something?

Well, I think I do. But having been waitlisted at American yesterday, they can't be too great, can they?

There was a hand-written note on my acceptance letter about my experience in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, where I volunteered for a year. That being my most significant soft factor, aside from my LORs, I guess it contributed to their decision. Definitely the first time I've felt like a school has looked at anything other than my GPA and LSAT. I sent in my application around February 10th.

This was yield protection. American is notorious for it. Its probably more of an indication that you're a solid candidate than anything else.

[nyyankees]

it feels like a lot of their acceptances are from people who have applied post christmas. Why cant they get to those of us who applied earlier??

btw, congrats lulu, cendien and Hilbert

edit: and hhg!

Got in yesterday 3.4/168 with 12 years work experience. Applied in mid-October. I am sitting on a full tuition scholarship from Alabama, and a partial scholarship from UGA. No scholarship info from Emory, but I was a Woodruff nominee. I am not holding my breath for a Woodruff Fellowship, but has anyone heard anything from the Woodruff selection committee?

[bonnieblue]

Yay!!!! Accepted with $54,000!!!!!
166, 3.5!

complete in november

[mebeSajid]

When did all of you guys apply? I applied at the beginning of January, I still haven't heard anything other than "We received your application". Numbers: 3.34/170

Applied end of October. Accepted today. $54,000.00 161, 166 3.4. Emory undergrad, re-applied after denied last year. Boss is an alum and adjunct professor...

This gives me hope in case my Feb score isn't up to par... You work in Atlanta at a firm?

[zreinhar]

About how many Woodruff Nominees do you think there are, and when do they let them know?

Has anyone filled out the College Board profile for Emory financial aid. It looks like it's a slightly less annoying version of Need Access.

I'll be doing that this weekend. Totally didn't realize I even needed to until after I looked back over the acceptance packet. Their finaid website is extremely unhelpful, so I'm glad I saw that or I never would have filled the thing out. Oopsers!

Didn't know I had to fill this out. Sounds like a pain in the ass.

I talked to the Emory financial aid office yesterday, and they said that I didn't have to submit anything aside from the FAFSA. Weird...I guess I need to call again.

Oh, and congrats to those who recently heard!

[Veritas]

congrats on all the acceptances!!

[bonnieblue]

Yeah I got that too. Definitely cool. Wish the letter came with money, but still cool.

edit: I'm still waiting. Congrats on the cash, bonnieblue.

Has anyone registered for Visiting Day? From the acceptance material it looks like you just e-mail admissions and say you're coming. Am I missing something?

[dontstopbelivin]

In today! So exciting to get a big packet in the mail!

Are all scholarship offers included with the acceptance packet, or do some come later? No $$ would be disappointing, particularly given how generous they seem with most students.

Its a separate mailing.

[endersgame]

haha, yeah - mine came yesterday with a handwritten message as well. And a nice scholarship.. around 60k. Very unexpected.

Good news! Thanks for the quick answer!

Whoa so some people went complete on 2/18 and are already hearing decisions?! I went complete on 2/17- should I be looking? I wasn't even getting excited about this one until the end of March!!

People with higher scores seem to be hearing relatively soon. I don't know if this is you or not, but good luck.

i'm sure it'll come soon, you were just too legit to get it all at once

[ArthurEdens]

People with my numbers are starting to get accepted, so I'm going to throw out a prediction. I'll get an acceptance with $54k total award either today or tomorrow.

Congrats to those who have recently gotten in. I'm looking forward to a decision after 4 months of waiting.
