I feel bad for the ppl with high sat scores
nah, dont
I’m a freshman rn
just go gtech
someone lmk when RDs get fin aid info
Or just generally too
Generally yeah
Wfu?
wake forest
im biased and i admit yeah cornell's better
true
Also biz clubs/programs at ox is very new
No Emory has the best location imo. You can get LIT in ATL
But we are so back
Wake is v established
Atlanta yeah not Covington
ur 40 min away
Atlanta location is fire imo
Most don’t and that’s a 1.5 hr drive for clubs
Ox is amazing lmao I’m just a realist
(Ie Cornell has drawbacks too)
lmao its not 1.5 hrs
i did the drive
it took me 40 min
and it wasnt at like 3 am
Imagine trekking through snow in Ithaca
Both ways
the only drawbacks (if finance) is the club thing
which doesnt even matter anymore
they put in a new program this year for it
Yeah that would have impacted my decision a lot
It’s a lot better for ox kids now than it was for my year
its not 70 kids crammed into an intro to blank class
My friend got into the Nolan school ed
AWW sick
They can ask me questions if they ever want
I’ll prob be one of their TA’s next year
I heard only 6 people got accepted to that school
Wdym
Idk that’s what she told me
For ed? Usually more like 30
Nolan is decently small tho
Yeah I seen some pics
me literally
😭
I GOT INTO OXFORD COLLEGE🎉 🎉 🎉
YESSIR OX CLASS OF 28
i was so sure i was gonna get rejected lol
rejected 😜!
Damn
all good i’m going to usc!
wait have aid packages released yet. can i know how much they're giving me?
ox or emory
ox
which one is better for humanities
i dont think u can compare the two on the premise of one being stronger for a particular subject. maybe u could say like atl has more research ops and clubs, but then you could also say ox has better academics
so cant go wrong with either
yeah
which is why its better
professors are way more engaged with the students
and as a result, the top performing people in the graduating class are usually from oxford
think theres a statistic showing that the valedictorian has been from oxford like for so many years in a row
but ox is only offered for two years innit
yeah
how does that work
spend two years at oxford
matriculate to atlanta upon the start of junior year
Yeah same degree
then why is separated on the application
asdfa;slfkdh waitlisted :(
how is life at Emory
like food and campus
never been sadly 😭
at both emory and ox campus
I got in to emory!
u got into oxford but waitlisted to emory campus
lmao we’re the same
what are the chances i get off the waitlist 😭
what even is the oxford campus
its a smaller campus off in the side of the main campus
is it same majors?
how so
actually idk about the major thing i just know its a different vibe
they say the emory campus is the more traditional college life we imagine with research opportunities and the oxford one is more academic focused
further from the city and more lac feel (i have no idea)
i’m just happy to be accepted
It got rejected from Oxford campus and waitlisted from main campus 😭
i see typ eshiy
?
waitlisted by both emory and oxford 
not gona lie to u
its wraps
they rarely take ppl off
anyone know of a discord for '28?
not as of rn lol
what abt an ig chat
twins bro
did they post the conditions?
r they sending in batches or smth?
same thing cmu did?
No…
u sure u submitted an app bro
did anyone get a finaid package from emory
must be a missing document or something
they said early april
My documents were checked off.
where?
under the financial aid section
Is there another way to find out about my decision by not using the portal?…
I did.
ig wait 💀
in opus?
oh ic
Rejected lol
Opened my decision on Emory campus and was rejected 🙄🙄🙄🙄
I didn’t get a decision, it’s a huge L for me
You're the one who didn't get a case decision as well right
Are you sure you setup your portals right💀
Well the difference is case western had a missing secondary report so that was understandable.
Emory had everything complete.
Or maybe it had something to do with accidentally withdrawing from Emory and then I decided to submit a second application???
Since they wouldn’t respond.
ain't no way
is it even possible to withdraw and reapply on Common App
I think so, Emory emailed me days later about it still being active because I submitted a reapplication. And if I wanted to withdraw “click this withdraw button” otherwise it will remain active.
So I still don’t understand
I’ll get an answer tomorrow by email: maybe.
Oh hmm
i got a half tuition scholarship to the atl campus!!!!
congrats!
where did they tell you?
through email! and congrats pigeonia
👍
Hello everyone if you were accepted but don’t want to attend please let them know thanks
did anyone get into the oxford spring admit program? would love to discuss
Pls withdraw. Thanks. Will benefit us on the waitlist z
why was i invited to an atlanta campus visit when i already visited oxford for their ed admitted day😭
i got cooked yesterday 😭
the cousin residency thing didn't work
should i do a loci to emory? waitlisted at both campus and emory did not have a faq for waitlist ppl this year so I am curious
bruh
ah shit
yeah
write one
literally no harm in not
waitlisted both cuz idk if its possible to get off
its a low chance but like
write a loci
wont hurt
okok
is the admitted preview day thingy worth it (ive never been to Atlanta 😭) cuz like id have to take a flight from hou
If u can afford it and r stuck between schools, def
thank you!
what does it include
im js confused why i got an invite
like what happens during the day
care to share what y’all did?
Mine was panels with professors, class info/academixs, career panels, panels with current students, tour of school etc
Stuff like that
Dining hall yeah
Dorms is if ur tour guide takes u there
I think most do
It has to be their dorm tho
Some weird rule with college tours
got it thank you
@tall pine
literally
the exact same thing
and yeah we also toured a dorm
well, two
one was like a hotel one was like a 10 dollar a night motel u could find in vegas
HELP.
when i was like 9 i was w my dad and a basically naked lady gave me a card that said "gentlemen's club"
she gave one to my dad too 💀
in vegas
lmao yeah
i dont know how the atl dorms r
but thats how ox is
extreme hit or miss
Premed
leavign emory thread cuz i bagged nyu 😔
Is it good?
Yikes
If only Emory sent me a decision
💀💀💀
premed
yeah theres a building called jrc which is literally awful but theres also one called fleming which like i said isnt even a dorm but its like a hotel
idk if i like the idea of a hotel rather than a dorm LOL
seems cool tho
oh btw how long did the admitted preview day take
like it was only one day right? from what times cuz i gotta book flight asap
its not like a hotel persay, i said that to convey that the quality resembles one
oh so good quality?
yep lol
bet ill leave the same day then LOL
atl was nice too ive seen them
omg i need fleming then
thats ox tho lol, its diff for atl
yea im planning on the oxfod campus bc i like smaller more liberal arts fvibes
yep
ahh got it
then yeah cross ur fingers for fleming lol
youll see what i mean
when u get there
yeahh, thats what i was thinking
emory
maybe email
about ox
and when visits happen for that
Hey is there a way to check my admissions decision besides the portal for Emory?..because they didn’t give me no status check.
@tall pine i think this atl visit isnt for rd specifically. i think its for literally anyone who got in so far, regardless of ed1, ed2 or rd and regardless of ox or atl, because i got the invite and i was ed2 ox only
most likely? id reach out
ohh no wonder it was so last min LOL
like just got in and already a admitted thing so fast
yeah lol, i think they’re gonna do an official one
for u guys
later
for both campuses
YAY ok ty
so yeah lol, call em up or email
yup tyty
yup
Very
Why did my deposit get waived?
what was your SAI?
and how much aid did you get?
also, for people wondering about atl v oxford, emory in general, emory all things etc etc they made a thread
thanks friend!
😉
ofc bro
and i feel like this is the main thing people should keep in mind when making a choice
mine got waived to for oxford?
lmao strange feeling see a couple people get into ivy's today, feel like i should be happy with getting in where i got, but ed is strange like that, feels like you just left the battlefield early
Honestly I think you ED’ing Emory was a good idea
I gambled everything with Duke, I regret everything.
sometimes gambling works tho
same!
i mean im happy abt it being waived lol cuz $650 is too much
the good thing is it just goes towards your tuition
yea, but i dont wanna pay it early in case smth happens yk
A FRIENDLY REMINDER FOR YALL TO WITHDRAW IF ACCEPTED TO IVY TODAY
what if they got into an ivy but wanna go to emory 😉
fuck that
the first question i see is "will i get rescinded bc of senioritis" "No" LOL
so real for that q
fr
and tbf i was too, i kinda slipped a little but ill be ending with just a few B's which wont be rescinded for
in fact it kinda feels good to just sit back and breathe the warm air in rn
help i slipped off since this semester started in jan 💀
my grades didnt but my mind did fs
yeah, no motivation
FR but i reject the warm air ew
WAIT
do yall know how the weather is at emory
its great because
atlanta gets way too hot in the summer
but if u dont live there u can get out before then
and then the springs come earlier
like to put it in perspective, i live in virginia and its still a crappy 50 cloudy weather type thing here, but i checked and it was 67 and sunny there today
its kickin my ass i hate the cold weather
damn i would kill to have that weather
lmao u would like some of the northern schools
when i was in va i would go outside everyday and be so happy lol
yup
its so weird how va is considered "in the south"
would you have picked an ivy over emory
some of them yes
i admit to that haha
possibly, but i was below avg applicant in the first place
i got waitlisted by my state school itself during ed 1
didnt exactly inspire confidence
wtf
so i js feel lucky to be herel ol
never heard of it
but that is crazy
that they have ED
at a state school
virginia
UNC is my state school
oh nice
seems like it should be illegal for a state school to do that
how is emory for prelaw type majors
gud
really good
isnt law rly good here
i thought it was predominantly bio and stuff
usually people look at it for biz or premed yeah
but law is also good
here
honestly i applied on a whim so idk a lot
biz, premed, law
yeah
oh shit nice
nah i’m prelaw
great here
that’s good to know
emory isn't a t14 law school, but in many ways it is treated as such
like undergrad or grad
think hes talkin abt grad
grad
yeah that’s what i thought emory was known for
just some better in proportion than others
lol yeah business and premed
with the cdc right there and their hospital for premed, and their business school is known as one of the best, all the atl companies too
issa sign
to transfer to business?
its a sign
when u say business is good at emory, do u mean undergrad, grad or both
both
yeah very lol
damn rlly
yup
because
a2c is majority northeast
emory is south
a2c is mostly male
emory is mostly female
a2c is engineering/cs focused
emory doesnt focus on those subjects as much
its kinda the polar opposite of a2c
mostly female u say?
woah
SLAY YES
💀
EMORY IS MY KIND OF COLLEGE
ru in state for ut?
honestly emory seems like a good fit
what campus u get into?
💀💀
oxford
hell yeah
i got waitlisted to atl
oxford foreva
yup
u tryna do business?
yes
nah i’m being fr😭
ok so, if money is not an issue and you geniunly like emory more than id choose emory
but otherwise honestly
ok period
yeah u can’t beat instate prices
FR
i don’t know anything abt business lmao
but its ut mccboms
but im not set on business
mccombs is one of the best
in the nation
arguably, as much as i hate to admit it, better than goizeuta
i see
LOL
but congrats
yea ik it is lol
cant rly make a bad choice
true
emory aid was very mid for me
me too bud #middleclass
really?
what was your SAI and what was the aid you got?
sai 0 (which might be a mistake fin aid was weird) and i got like 40k
oh thats bad?
which is rly good don’t get me wrong
yeah i was abouta sayy lol
but i heard under 80k annual is free basically
yeahh
or am i wrong
how much u payin ucla?
havent heard it for emory
cuz isn’t usc rly shitty w aid
yeah they are
like notoriously bad
yeah
i wonder how much aid ill get
i couldn’t have gotten into two completely different schools
oh damn
my SAI is 15k
i got it this morning
in opus?
in an email 💀
lmao deadass?
same
yeah i was gna click into opus
it’s thru an email
and scrolled down and saw my aid in the email
when did you file fafsa and when was it processed? @somber zodiac
it was processed like 3.25
dude i submitted it 3.22😭😭
i submitted
i thought i was gna get 0
i filled everything out on 1.9 just to submit 3.23
from office of financial aid
Is anyone going to admitted students
why do they all say it’s estimates
when is it?
i thought since fafsa processed it should be confirmed
April 12
bro
i got that too
for some reasaon
even tho i already did one and it was at ox
and the april 12th one is on atl
😭
bc i like ox better
cuz i only got into ox
Oh ok
subjective to some extent
If you got into both i know u would go main
isn’t it the same shit u end up at atl anyway
aye u added emory to ur name
bruh i got into both but i prefer ox
Interesting choice especially for business
lowkey i didn’t know there was a diff when i applied
Why not
yea but im not set on business
if im going to law school i would prefer a liberal arts feel
it was always ut/gtown i just noticed it
Are u not considering rice
and its just overall peaceful
Yea i felt like adding emory
w
Tbf im not set on anything
hell nah i need to leave houston
Bro rice is the best of the 3 😭
depends on major
True
and price
and humanities prbly
stanford umich
i NEED TO LEAVE HOISTOJ U DONR INDEESTAJD. THE WEATHER IS SHIT
R u touring emory
Same lol
nah but imma do my research
R u business
Hey is there a way to check my decision for Emory excluding the portal? I know I already said this, but I didn’t get mine.
me?
Like another way
Did u email them
Yea
Yesterday
nah prelaw major like poli sci or philosophy
nope😭
Oh nvm
yeah so acc its lowest
dude if i was u
i would choose emory
since its tied with usc for tuition
honestly east coast>west coast
Whats the cheapest honestly just pick that😭
usc and emory are equal
Id pick usc ngl
yeah i know
I got rejected from usc tho 💀
wanna trade ur gtown 💀
ew cali
id take emory
No i pick gtown over usc 10/10
Gtown im only not committed due to aid reasons
imma do my research i have another month
Also bc I technically applied to stanford and umich
Although both are 100% rejections
stanford is a rejection and umich i don’t even care if i get in
its a shitshow
Fr same
Im not considering umich
its all a shitshow now
and for me if i wanted to full price a public school i’ll go ucla
have u committed to emory?
ed2 so yeah
oh nice
yeah i have a lot of family in atlanta
i remember visiting for the first time in like 9th grade and then going back like multiple times
Hi Guys
are you thinking of visiting?
i would but intl
oh ok
ox or atl
ox
maybe i’ll apply there
dude idk
shit yeah
i just applied and hoped for the best
yeah
its good but not t14
not what you aim for, but not bad
Whats the emory acceptance package
I didn’t get my Emory decision sad.
a folder
with like an official letter of acceptance
and some papers explaing the programs they have
a couple laptop stickers
How often does Emory Oxford use the waitlist?
6.17% acceptance rate for the waitlist
Not bad tbh
I submitted my app really early so tons of stuff to update them on I feel like
have you sent in a LOCI yet?
Not yet
Ngl ima have to take time to write it
it’s not like they can do anything rlly before may 1st when they’ll know how much ppl they should take from the waitlist
yeah
write the best one possible
if emory was a top pick for u
did u apply both campuses?
Yea
Applied ED1 to the main campus
and pretty self explanatory on how that went
had a strong feeling it was bc of the mid year report lol
if you went ED1 to the main campus your mid year report was not factored in as part of the decision making process
oh lol
not sure how a trimester works yeah maybe ur right
we do semester
what was on your mid year report?
Senioritis Lol
And then my counselor sent my trimester two grades to Oxford
and that probably helped me get waitlisted
It would be rlly funny for me to end up at Emory which was my top choice in such a circuitous way by getting off the waitlist Lol
does anyone know how ap credits transfer?
what does receive up to 12 credit hours mean
yeah
out of 6000
every course has credit hours
like a philosophy intro class has 4 credit hours, but a quantitative reasoning course might have 3 credit hours
so how ap credits work is
say you get a 5 on ap micro and macro
you can receive 6 credit hours for that, because you can skip econ 101 (micro) and econ 112 (macro) with that
so if every course is 3 hours (for example) you can only skip 4 courses even if you can skip more?
where does it say up to 12?
yeah lol thats what it means
because think abt it
in this day and age
theres probably some cracked kid out there who took 20 aps
and got a 5 on every single one
so if there was no limit he could just come in and literally like skip 80% of courses
yeah but u can do that with like even, say, 10 credit hours
coming in
i think im doing like 9
well, provided i get a 5 on micro and macro this year
and then another 3 for calc
Around 3000 ppl accept to be placed on the waiting list
yea
well what ru majoring in?
poli sci most likely
i’ll prbly try to skip the 101 math courses
ox prbly
so i still need to do good this year on calc
lmao thats me with econ rn
but i only need a 4
econs not too hard
cuz if i wanna trasnfer to biz school, i need to take the econ classes, but i can opt out with 5's
yeah, calc bc you can get away with a 4
@somber zodiacuse one of ur aps on the natural science requirement
if u got like a 4 or 5 on chem or bio, u can get out of ur natural science
idk what they accept actually, 4 or 5
i didn’t do any hard sciences sadly
its ok tho lol i didnt either. guess im takin psych 
watch ac/dc econ
is he that good?
i did lit micro macro world history chinese comp gov psych aphg apes(which i failed)
bro carried me to two 5s
and stats calc and lang this year
use micro to get out of the ss requirement
Do u think it’s 6000 that accept waitlist or more?
world history and comp gov doesn’t even count 💀
dude ur so fucking lucky
u have chinese
u can get out of a language
i have to take spanish
or smth
intl >>
someone just said 3000 accept it
so yeah
the one nice thing lmaooo
i got 5 for everything but apes
u can skip a general ed es
u can use lit
to get out of the first year writing requirement
i didnt take lit or lang so i have to take that class
does it show how many hours each class counts for?
oh where is it
lemme find rq
it’s not on this pdf
thxs
yeah chiense, four hours
honestly
if ur intl
why would u use it on chinese
like u know the language right
so maybe just take it and get a free 100 and that way ur not burning with a 4 credit hour
ap transfer to chn 102 which means i still need to take 101
lit for eng 185 (3 hrs) (fw)
micro for econ 101 (3 hrs) (ss)
those two i feel like u should do ^
regardless
that sucks
dont do it in that case
i thought lit is cplt 101
lmao where is that?
😭😭😭
thats just like basically what the equivalent of eng 185 at oxford is
no wonder i couldn’t find the courses
yeah so
lit got u covered
u can fail lang xd
use calc to get out of math 111
so u can get out of quantitative reasoning class
and then use micro to get out of econ 101
to get out of social science
thats 9/12
could u send me the oxford one pls
i very much dislike sciences
i do too
im gonna take like
psych
or some bullshit
idk what u do with the 3 hrs left over
i rly don’t like math
bc is 6 credits
holy shit what
ohhh
cuz of the absubscore
oh wait no
on its own????
nah wait i think its 6, but it gets you out of math 101 and math 112
yeah bc is double credit
that’s why i’m taking calc bc senior yr
so you knock the quantitative reasoning requirement, the first year writing requirement, and the social science requirement
out of the way
im doing both econs cuz i might wanna transfer to bschool later and bc
yeah
possibly im not sure tho
act i shouldnt say this
i might jinx myself
didnt get a 5 yet
on econs
oh i still need to do good in case of transfer
yea
what if i commit and hate it
tru
nah but in case
i loved both so im cool
yeah that’s pretty good
did u take virt tour yet
yea its nice
and u wont be constantly p;ressured to go to parties on ox
so no fomo when studying
it’s so scenic
yea
ive been there like 5 times
amazing
its act kinda weird to be visiting ever since ur 14 and then visit for admitted students day
you’ll be giving tours
lmao yeah if i sign up
i’m just gna be stalking the insta pages
lmao ive been kinda mad at it tdy
seeing people post on the emory oxford '28 page and then i read "while im not fully committed.."
cut the cameras bro
like why ru posting
why not
might as well
yeah prob soon lol
admitted students day was awk asf too i think i talked to like 2 ppl
and im by no means like a reddit incel it was just like that
damn
this isn't that big of a deal but I think the emory wheel article on this year's ar is incorrect 😭
they said it increased to 14.5% from last year's 10.3% https://emorywheel.com/acceptance-rate-increases-to-14-5-for-class-of-2028-after-regular-decision/#:~:text=Over the four rounds of,of 2027's 10.3%25 acceptance rate.
but the 10.3% is for emory college only https://emorywheel.com/emory-college-overall-acceptance-rate-drops-to-10-3/
and it was 16% or soemthing overall
but this year if we only take into account emory college the ar is 9.8%
overall is 14.5%
yeah
fire the emorywheel guy
wtf is he doing
i mean maybe hes just tired but cmon
the overall this yr is correct tho
of 14.5%
probs like 32% ed 1, 12% ed 2, 6ish% rd
so technically the ar decreased (16.4 -> 14.5 for overall, 10.3 -> 9.8 for emory college and 10->8 for oxford)
and two people wrote this article 💀
man wth
Idk how this got past
yeah
lol someone has to tell them
whats the 10.3 for?
but I thought I was tripping
overall for emory?
emory college specifically
like that campus
yeah i remember it was like 7.6% rd
oxford is lower?
yeah
actually Idt I'm tripping
