Re: Emory class of 2016 (2012-2013 cycle)
If I accept an offer of waitlist, do I need to pay the 1st (initial) deposit?
I am almost certain that I do not have to pay the 1st deposit, but I want to confirm that.
Thanks,

No, you don't. Also, for those confused about the waitlist/deposit situation, the priority waitlist email I received says they will REIMBURSE up to $250 if you choose to attend Emory and placed a seat deposit at another school. They're generously offering to pay your seat deposit at another school because they know they're putting you in an awkward position by not giving decisions til late April.heyman86us wrote:If I accept an offer of waitlist, do I need to pay the 1st (initial) deposit?

Yes, I understood the part that Emory will credit a student's account for the amount of his/her non-refundable 1st deposit to one other law school (up to $250) if he/she matriculate at Emory.
Thanks for confirming that I do not have to pay the initial (1st) deposit for accepting waitlist offer.

It's okay. I good friend of mine also thought the letter meant she had to deposit while on the waitlist. It may have been a bit clumsily written, but I really do appreciate the candor.TheMostDangerousLG wrote:Ah, nevermind. I don't know what I was thinking.... >.<

Hindsight is 20/20. I really wish I had applied to Vany. But I told myself that the amount of choices I have already is a lot, and I don't want to make things more complicated. Oh well.alwayssunnyinfl wrote:Strangely enough, Vandy is one of my top choices (and a hail mary for me. I almost didn't bother applying.

Also Sunny, are you a PWL person? Don't you have some killer offers at other schools?
I like Emory, and I'm considering hanging on to see what kind of scholarship I could get. At the same time, it would break my grandma's heart if I didn't go to school right down the street from her.

Hmmm...looks like the waitlist is massive...and 3 different waitlists? I'm not on the priority list or the sorta priority list ...just the good ole regular waitlist. Not looking too good for me.

I know Emory doesn't negotiate scholarships but does anyone know if playing intense hardball would work?
Something like: "Match my other scholarship and I will deposit today"

On a different note, it's also a total crock of shit that they are saying we'll get our decision immediately after the deadline for a non-refundable deposit. Seriously?
My apologies...I don't really know if there is really 3 tiers of the waitlist, hence the question mark in my original post. Just going by another post from someone earlier. Can anyone attest to there being 3 different kinds of waitlists?gatorgirl2012 wrote:Wait, what the heck is the sorta priority waitlist?!

How about this? Someone who is sure that they are on this "priority Waitlist", post the language of the entire letter. And someone who is certain they are on the "regular Waitlist", do the same thing.
I really hope there is no "sorta priority Waitlist". And if there is, I really hope Emory named that Waitlist the "sorta priority Waitlist". I'd giggle for sure

I talked with admissions about different lists. What they said seemed to imply this was not the case, but they never exactly denied it. They're now aware of the scuttlebutt regarding this on here. I wouldn't be surprised if we get some further clarification.

I'll bite. This is not the priority one:
Thank you for your interest in Emory Law. I wanted to write you from my personal email account to express my appreciation for your patience as we reviewed your file. I am well-aware that you have deadlines and decisions to make, and it is always our goal to find space in our class for applicants with such high credentials as you.
The Admission Committee invites you to join our waitlist, for we hope to offer you admission as soon as we are able to analyze our first deposits in mid-April. This year has been unique for Emory Law’s admission cycle. To achieve an optimal class, we plan to admit students over the next several weeks, and I hope you will stay with us so we are able to give you the option to join our community.
To accept our invitation to join the waitlist, please reply to me personally by Sunday, April 14. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me as well. I want to make sure you have all the information necessary to feel comfortable joining our community.
Again, we fully anticipate admitting numerous students from the waitlist, and we will have some scholarships available. To alleviate some of the uncertainty of the waitlist process, if you are offered a spot at Emory Law and matriculate with us, we will credit your student account for the amount of your non-refundable first deposit to one other school (up to $250).

Re: Emory class of 2016 (2012-2013 cycle)
Mine is different and it's not the priority one. It says:
Emory Law’s Admission Committee has reviewed your application for the Fall 2013 incoming class. This year, our applicant pool is among the strongest ever. Based on your strong academic credentials and personal achievements, we are extending you an offer to join our waitlist.
We maintain a waitlist of highly qualified applicants to provide opportunities for additional outstanding candidates—like you—to join our community. We anticipate making offers to waitlist candidates beginning in April and continuing through the summer. The number of waitlist candidates offered admission will depend on the number of applicants who accept Emory Law’s offer of admission and enroll by paying the first enrollment deposit by the April 19 deadline.
To confirm your place on our waitlist, visit http://www.law.emory.edu/2013list by Sunday, April 14. We have posted a section of frequently asked questions about the waitlist there. The site is password protected so you will need your LSAC number. Your password is your last name.
We offer the waitlist option to a very select group of applicants. I fully anticipate admitting numerous students from the waitlist, and we will have some scholarships available. To alleviate some of the uncertainty of the waitlist process, if you are offered a spot at Emory Law and matriculate with us, we will credit your student account for the amount of your non-refundable first deposit to one other school (up to $250).
If you remain interested in Emory Law, allow us the chance to admit you so you have all your options available. I strongly encourage you to register at the waitlist website as soon as possible at http://www.law.emory.edu/2013list. If you do not respond by Sunday, April 14, we will assume you are no longer interested in admission to Emory Law and close your file.
I look forward to reviewing your file again soon. If you have any questions after reviewing the FAQs, contact me at admission@law.emory.edu.
