Thank you Mihyang, JMMO51, and Awapi for all your advice! I'm going to see if Emory has a second visit day or perhaps let me have a tour and get a ticket to go down there - to resolve this for myself once and for all. I couldn't go on the actual date because of work =(
Hey Swaffles,

I'm not sure if you've done this already, but in my experience Emory has been extremely accomodating in organizing meetings with faculty/students/campus tours/class room sit-ins etc. I'm sure they will co-ordinate with you to try and arrange something.
 
Has anyone else been unable to view their financial aid packets on OPUS? I submitted my fafsa to emory on march 7th. 😡

At Visit Emory they told us that they were really busy since they do financial aid for other parts of the school, not just Public Health. In the acceptance packet it says:

"The PREFERRED deadline for submitting the FAFSA is March 15, 2011. However, we strongly recommend that you submit the FAFSA by March 1, 2011, to ensure that it is received by Emory by the March 15 deadline."

I would assume that they process them in a general order of receipt, I did mine early and was told that they started downloading FAFSA info mid-February, so it's probably just taking a little longer to get to yours. Did you submit it to FAFSA online on March 7 or did it get to Emory that day? FAFSA online says it takes a few days to process, so maybe it didn't get to them until later.

I was able to access my financial aid on time, but there was an error on it...I had to send a couple of emails and call a couple of times (because they are so busy right now), but it got fixed within a week. I would just call/email the financial aid person assigned for your last name (there's one for the first half of the alphabet and one for the second) and follow up if you don't hear back from them just in case it is a mistake!

Good luck!!
 
Thanks Zjwah! I knew we wouldn't be able to register until June, but June 21 seems so far away!! I've known what classes I want to register for since they posted the fall schedule, haha.😀

Same here, Awapi. And you're welcome. I was obsessively checking that site until it was updated...now I'm even more impatient! June 21 seems like forever!
 
Hey guys! So, I was just thinking today that, for whoever is comfortable with it and has facebook, it might be beneficial/good networking to start becoming friends on there so we could put names and faces together before orientation. I know that we will meet lots of people there, but it's always nice to see a "familiar" face even if you've only met online 🙂. Another SDN'er and I actually did this a few weeks back and we have been able to share info, updates, and help each other out with summer reading lists, class info, etc. and it's been much easier than posting it on SDN (and I feel more compelled to do it since having a name/face makes it more like a classmate than some mysterious screen name, haha).

Anyway, anyone who is interested feel free to PM me your email or name and I'll do the heavy lifting to look you up and add you 🙂

Hope you guys are enjoying summer and are as excited as I am to get started in August!
 
Thanks JMM! I was thinking about making one, so I'm glad you pointed this one out
