Emory/Opus
Started by JMM051
It took Emory a month before they gave me access to OPUS (by email)... although when they'll actually send me a decision is a whole other story :-/
SOPHAS mailed my app on 12/7, and I received an email to access OPUS yesterday (12/15).
The email says that it may take 48 hrs to create an account before I can obtain my network ID and password. Does it generally take this long? I've been trying to obtain the ID and password but it keeps telling me that no such applicant exists with my birthdate and SSN... I guess I should wait until tomorrow before I start to worry.

You already heard from Emory?!? I'm so jealous!

I designated Emory at SOPHAS by November 29,2009 and SOPHAS mailed the application on December 1, 2009
I got access to OPUS thereafter in about less than 10 days and an acceptance email on December 22, 2009!!
I think it depends on an "absolutely" complete application [ including WES evaluations, scores and 3 letters instead of 2] and whether you are applying early or in a rush season like late December or January.

When I log into OPUS, it still says that my GRE score is "initiated' but it has been a solid 3 weeks since ETS sent them my score. Any idea whats going on? Maybe they received it but haven't updated it?
Tiesto, the same thing happened to me -- you should be fine, but if you'd like to follow up on that you'll need to do the following:
1) Call SOPHAS and make sure they've both sent your scores online and also by mail.
2) Once confirmed that both have been sent, call Emory. My scores were archived in a queue to be processed, but once I called, they went ahead and updated my file immediately...

It worked!

JMM, I sent you a private message.
Haha why do they insist on making our lives difficult? It's not like it would have killed them to tell you over the phone if the decision's already been mailed out...
Dear Emory, Yale, UPitt, UIC, Ohio State,
I hope to hear at least from one of you by the end of this week.
Thank you,

I didn't have a problem getting in. I clicked on the link that asks you to request network ID. On the other hand, it took a while for them to update the profile to complete.

Love. Definitely glad I came. I'm from Maine so living in Atlanta and going to Emory has been a huge cultural, as well as academic, experience for me. I would recommend it to anyone. It's not perfect, but the good far outweighs the bad.
I've exchanged PM's with some students in this thread so they may be willing to copy and paste some of the more detailed responses I've provided them.
Good luck!
I got a nice rejection letter from Ohio State!
Hello, I hope you don't mind me to ask: which schools were you deciding between, and what made you pick Emory?
I got accepted to Global Epi and I applied to epi for other schools as well.
Thanks! 😀
Awesome, hopefully I will hear soon too then! I got my OPUS info January 11 and my "application complete" email on January 13... I applied for Epi as well.
Seriously considering? Yale, Ohio State (father's alma mater) and Emory (there were others I wasn't considering such as BU, Pitt, etc). I chose Emory because my father (PhD) has done sabbatical here a couple times and spoke very highly of the school. Atlanta is also dramatically different from where I was raised and a great cultural experience too.
And anyone who knows Yale knows it's in one of the ****tiest locations in the world. New Haven, Conn sucks.
YAY I got into EMORY!!!!
Acceptance for BSHE (applied to the Health Ed. track)
Sent by SOPHAS 12/29
Email from Emory that app was complete on 1/11
Was told 3-6 weeks and it was only 11 days!!

Don't be discouraged!
My first response was from UNC and was a rejection.
I was upset too, the first one being negative but after a few weeks I got some good news and got an acceptance.
Different people make up the adcoms and you don't know who is looking at your portfolio and what they are looking for.
Good luck! 🙂

I agree. You don't know what they look for. Emory denied me but Michigan accepted me. Texas accepted me but Ohio rejected me.
Different adcoms look for different things and numbers aren't everything.

Wow, that's pretty impressive! Congrats! What other schools did you apply to? Would you mind sharing your stats?
