Does Emory care significantly about ties to the area? I keep seeing that mentioned in this thread.

Any thoughts on what my chances would be of getting an interview. 3.87 GPA, 517 on the MCAT, with pretty cookie cutter, average ECs. I have done a lot of research, however I have not been published yet. I am in-state and live in metro ATL. I have received 3 interviews so far, two of them from schools in Georgia and the other is out of state. I was complete second week of August. I thought I would have received an interview by now , but maybe my ECs are not strong enough.

Interview invitation received today (11/6). Submitted secondary on 7/14 and marked complete shortly thereafter. LizzyM ~70, OOS ORM.

Interview dates span from December on.

Jumping on this thread, complete 7/11 and complete silence. Anyone else in a similar boat?

Still silent here - I have an update I can add in December, and I think it’s time to tell them that my parents live just two hours from Atlanta at this point - not in GA, but close by (as it seems they connections). At this point, there are only two schools I would kind of like to hear from and this is one of them!

Where can you list ties to the area? I don't remember seeing this anywhere but I have a ton of family that lives in Atlanta/Doraville, etc. but I didnt think of mentioning it as its private not public

They have an area where you can post updates. They seem to have a (somewhat limited) regional preference, so I say add it in.

I actually submitted an update in September about a new volunteering role since my noncinical was lower end, but their update system is a little strange. It seems it's not separate updates but more so that you keep adding on to additional updates (it has the 1000 character limit).

I think if update with just the ties to the area it's not significant is it?

There is a review article I'm on that's being submitted next week and is essentially accepted already (our lab was invited to submit it so they can't really reject it haha) so I can probably also put that along with updates on hours etc

Also, would you mind sharing what interview dates were available?

The earliest dates were mid-December, I didn't look if they were scheduling January

Hope’s getting slimmer as Emory is still reviewing people who completed in August and I completed in September...

At the interview, Emory said that if you aren't accepted in a certain wave of acceptances, your application will be reconsidered for the next one and so forth until March. Does anyone know if this is actually the case / did anyone get an acceptance 3-4 waves after your interview date?

I interviewed literally the first week of Interviews at Emory (In state) and There have been two acceptance waves and I have not gotten in. Can I assume at this point I am toast, or is there actually a real chance I can get it in one of the next 3 waves?

Ugh, I don't know but I don't see an update in my portal :( Wondering when I should stop checking.. I keep telling myself that since I'm in CA maybe they wouldn't update mine until 12:00 here, but I doubt that is true... :/
 
Accepted!! I wouldn't have thought to check the portal, thanks for the reminder!!

Anyone know when I would potentially get an interview if my secondary was submitted Sept 2 (late, I know). Also a Canadian so it's probably not very likely but hopefully my stats make up for it.

My feeling is that Emory does a type of scoring system and slowly invites people according to score (this is a complete guess just based on watching the application cycle and understanding how some schools work). So completion date will make a difference on when they review your application, but it may take a bit longer to get to an invite. I have no idea what they are prioritizing, so if/when you hear back is largely up to what they are looking for and how well you match that.

Good luck! I hope you do hear from them. I’m trying to remain in the south, so Emory is one of the three schools I would like to hear from before the cycle is over. Maybe we will see each other at an interview in the future?

can someone comment on if the interviews are open or closed? or one of each?
 
Anyone have any insight on if Emory still has interview invites to be sent. I was complete in July and have yet to hear anything.

Does anyone know the likelihood of being accepted at a later wave? Do people usually get accepted only from the one closest to their interview?
