Well my status checker is now working...says it's under committee review. When does the final transcript need to be submitted? I'm a little unclear on how that works since my one is already in through CAS but the final transcript box is unchecked

[IsThisForReal]

Status checked says I'm admitted! Just got the status checker email today. Applied sunday.

Anybody know when they let us know about scholarship info. I was accepted about two weeks ago, but haven't heard about any scholarships awards yet.

The person I spoke with in admissions said they would get together in mid November to discuss scholarship info pertaining to those already admitted and would send stuff out in December.

Thanks, that's a relief. I thought that I was gonna be looking at sticker to attend.

So any of y'all that have been accepted....did you apply ED or regular? I applied ED almost 8 weeks ago and still haven't heard anything...

Same person who posted: "THANK YOU! GOD BLESS YOU! I HOPE I GET YOUR SPOT!" after he/she got waitlisted last year?

Just stick to Emory's thread if you're going to post "Emory > UGA". Or at least provide some insight to help this years class decide between Emory/UGA.

This isn't the appropriate forum for talking shit about schools. For what it's worth, I was accepted to and seriously considered both Emory and UGA last year. They both ended up giving 2/3 scholarships (165/3.9), although I had to negotiate UGA hard from $7500 to $12500. I was OOS, but UGA gave me an in-state equalizer the first year and apparently residency is easy to establish for years 2 and 3.

Deciding between the two ultimately pushed to into withdrawing and retaking the LSAT for the c/o 2018 cycle. Their employment outcomes were very similar, and while Emory has better placement overall and in the region it's COA is very high. Choosing Emory or UGA at that COA would've been the wrong choice for me, but each can be the right choice in the proper context. UGA is a killer deal for in-state residents who want to remain in GA, though. Cheap price but great placement power.

Emory is a better option if prices even.

Even if that is true, the two COAs are almost never equal because of COL - Atlanta COL is $10,000 more than Athens COL (using LST numbers). If you have the numbers for a full ride at Emory, you're not going to be stuck with the $7,500 scholly at UGA to make the COA equal. But again, this isn't really the appropriate forum for that discussion. The best advice is: apply to both, negotiate your scholarships as high as possible, and make a decision from there.

You need to finish that statement - Emory is [a] better option if prices [are] even and you don't plan on staying in Georgia. In Atlanta, the schools place evenly. So, the question comes down to money.

As HRomanus said, if you really have the numbers for a scholly at Emory that makes its tuition equal to Georgia's, you're realistically looking at Vandy at least. For people for whom both schools are top choices, you're probably looking at 1/3 to 1/2 scholly at Emory (so what, 25 grand plus per year at best?) vs in-state equalizer at Georgia for 17-ish grand per year. So, imo, if you're staying in Georgia you'd be silly (bordering on stupid) to pay the extra 8 grand a year (plus a higher COL) to go to Emory. Having gone through the 2L cycle at Georgia, and having friends at Emory, you'll get the same employment from both.

If you're planning on leaving Georgia, sure, go to Emory (or better yet, Vandy). Georgia won't help you much outside of Georgia (though we do have a little placement to DC and NYC).

1. I'm paying dirt cheap COL for Emory and I'm living a pretty nice life in a nice studio all alone in the heart of Decatur.
2. Emory is more prestigious in Atlanta than UGA is...

Your schtick is a little silly. Your 158/3.8 equate to around $60,000 at Emory, which leaves you with more than $120,000 in tution regardless your COL. And I looked extensively at housing around Emory - it's expensive. Again, the only takeaway message that matters at this point in the cycle is apply for both UGA and Emory. Atlanta is a difficult market and neither school really dominates it. When it comes time for people to choose between the two schools they should look primarily at COA. If they don't want to stay in GA, other options are probably better.
