I got that email and have not been accepted. I also get the weekly reminders that they are still missing some of my information (Hi, Dad!).

Alright, forget it. I'm not calling. They probably just want the FAFSA anyways under the extreme circumstance we get put on the waitlist and get in eventually.

 

[ckenne6]

So does anyone know how Emory's waitlist goes? For example, do we just get a letter through the mail letting us know we're on the waitlist, or does it actually mention whether we're high or low on the waitlist?

Did everyone get this Opus email?

Emory sends a very large number of emails, considering the fact that I'm not even in.

Yup.

I don't' get Emory- I'm gonna be really upset if they send a rejection email next week after sending all this stuff to us...

Got the email too. Emory's such a heart breaker. 🙁

i really dont understand emory. this whole thing is really frustrating. emory is definitely my top choice and after not receiving a letter in the mail this past week ive been pretty bummed. why do they keep sending us emails if we havent been accepted? i find it so strange that they dont separate the applicants from those who have been admitted. is there anyone who hasnt received the email?

 

[ButImLETired]

I agree. It seems both unnecessary and cruel. Blah.

They could at least wait until we've received our waitlist letters. It seems kinda ridiculous to be overnighting financial aid info and checking my financial aid status online when I don't even know what my admission status is.

I know!!!! I completely agree!

 

[copperfrog09]

Well that was dissapointing.. I though there would be something entertaining once we logged in, maybe even financial aid.. but there's NADA. Boo.

 

[mj5739]

for those who have been accepted, does an emory email address show up on your OPUS?

Yep, I think everyone's OPUS is the same. Mine doesn't even say I'm accepted, or have any financial info, etc., but I was accepted back in November. I do have the learnlink and Emory e-mail address though, you have to go to "E-mail addresses" under personal information.

I personally love the fact that Emory is sending me emails even though ive probably been wait listed. It makes me feel like ive already been accepted!!!
Unlike you guys, I like delusion.😍

 

[bozz]

So it's 100% confirmed that those of us who haven't heard have either been waitlisted or rejected?

i would assume so

 

[ckenne6]

i would assume so

I would guess they are now reviewing all the rest of the applications to decide where to put us on the waiting list now....if at all.

By the way, does anyone know where the 09-10 verification sheet is? I've looked several times around the financial aid web page under health professions and medicine, and I can't find it. Would anyone mind putting up a link?

 

[quirks]

Got an email just a few minutes ago inviting me to Alternate Status. Definitely accepting.

 

[gates_2]

yar same here- Kinda sucks that they don't start taking people off till June. I wonder if they wait till may 15th, see how many spots they have, then go back through everyone and rank us?

 

[ButImLETired]

Yup, got waitlisted as well, and withdrew. Good luck to all of you guys on the waitlist! Emory is an outstanding place, so congrats to you guys who've gotten in.

 

[acridknight]

Hmmm... does Emory reject people, or simply waitlist everyone that is not accepted?

 

[Michael845]

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I was waitlisted too

 

[ckenne6]

I would think Emory would want to keep all the applicants they interviewed on the table for admission.

I just accepted the alternate status as well. Good luck to all.

 

[DrQuack247]

Does anyone know when the first day of orientation/class is?
And when is the white coat ceremony?

Thanks

 

[Druzie]

Can't seem to find it now, so this is not exactly helpful but...

I seem to recall July 13th being the first day of orientation?

Someone correct me...

 

[copperfrog09]

Nope it's july 27th 🙂 no idea about white coat ceremony but I think it was later.. October or november?

 

[ckenne6]

Did anyone on the waitlist get a confirmation email?

I never got one, so I'm thinking of sending in another email about it.

I did, and pretty soon after I sent it too. But I might have just been really quick about it and sent it before they got a ton of responses. Still, if it's been several days, I'd go ahead and email again.

Thanks for the quick reply. I guess my email was accidentally overlooked due to the large amount of responses. Just sent off another reply to that email again.

 

[copperfrog09]

In case anyone wants to know... looks like Financial Aid is starting to be posted in OPUS.. just happened to log in tonight to check.

Big Whopping pile of Federal Loans for me.. 🙁

Although they updated the COA for this year, and surprisingly it didn't go up as much as a lot of the other schools seemed to.

Looks like I might have to re-think Emory 🙁🙁

 

[mj5739]

does anyone know how the waitlist movement at emory has generally been the past few years?

 

[Druzie]

I just withdrew. I hope whoever gets my spot appreciates it as much as I did! Best of luck!

 

[runamok]

I'm not sure how meaningful this is but I've heard from an alumnus that Emory's alternate status is pretty competitive. They don't just dump interviewees they haven't accepted into the alternate pool.

Hopefully this means everyone on the alternate list has a fighting chance of being accepted eventually...

 

[drmcsteamy2008]

Withdrew. Loved the school and hope the person who gets my spot loves it just as much.

 

[Leejwwc]

Declined my seat. Good luck to those waiting!

 

[tropi]

drmcsteamy2008 and leejwwc , what are your genders???

 

[ckenne6]

Man, I just want to get accepted off that waitlist. I'd be great to get accepted here.

I'm hoping quite a few spots will open up.

Edit: I was curious and went back and looked through old SDN Emory Waitlist threads. In the words of my old magic 8 ball, "outlook looks bleak." Seems like movement doesn't occur until the end of June and they usually double-book the class. I'm ready to wait it out though, I really want to go here.

 

[tropi]

Can anyone who withdraws from Emory pleaseeeeeeeeee post their withdrawal so that we waitlisted folk have some sort of idea of whats going on with the alternate pool? THANKS

Haha, yes this would be nice. I'm most curious how many people Emory has accepted over the target class size, and how many of them still remain on the list after May 15.

 

[tropi]

ckenne6, it seems like we're the only ones posting! Wish this thread was more happening. If you get any answers, holler!

I've been reading, just haven't been posting. Don't have much to say but I can't wait till this wait list moves!

 

[nerakium]

I withdrew last night. It was really tough because I originally thought I would attend Emory. It's a wonderful school and I hope you guys get to go 🙂

 

[docbama]

I was told by the adcom that they initially accept about double their class size. This could be why waitlist movement typically doesn't happen until july.

haha. well it looks like i'm in it for the long haul like the rest of y'all. It'd be nice to see a lot of you guys at Emory if we get accepted.

 

[Sunny09]

I got accepted from the wait list today!!! I'm soooo happy...gosh I wanted Emory very badly. I'll definitely be there next year! Mrs. Eddingfield called me around 2:30 with the good news. I also know of one other person who got off the wait list today too. Good luck to you all!! I hope I see some of you in late July!

I got a voicemail from her this afternoon, but wasn't able to call her back before closing time. I'm a little confused since I sent an email to withdraw from the waitlist last Friday.

Hmm that's strange...from my experience with Emory's admissions office, they usually take around 2 weeks to respond to e-mails. I bet they haven't checked their e-mail yet to record that you withdrew. Looks like you got in though.

Congrats on the acceptance.

Nice to see the waitlist moving so early.

 

[tropi]

I hope to get off teh waitlist as well. Hopefully there are more spots! Does Emory drug test? If so, when do they drug test?
