Emory University offers a multitude of courses for students and is known for its medical, business, and law schools. Although these branches of our school are highly recognized it doesn’t mean that there aren’t other highly recognized and well respected classes.

Because Emory University offers a variety of courses and is one of the top schools in the United States there is high competition from all around the United States; which motivates learners and brings diversity among students.

Like many other states Georgia has cold temperatures in the winter and hot weather during the summer which students find splendid because the cold weather allows them to focus during the school year and the hot weather allows them leisure during the break.

44% of enrolled students are men and 56% of enrolled students are women.

Thirty-five percent of Emory students belong to one of our 11 national sororities or 15 national fraternities. Greek organizations here are passionate and active, but they do not dominate the social scene or the membership mindset on campus.

That is the only way in which we can award you credit for those classes.Q: Should I send in my high school transcript?A: If you are applying and have been in college fewer than two years, you will need to submit your high school transcript. Please note that at any time when reviewing your application, the admission committee can request additional information, which may include your high school transcript even if you have more than the required two years of college work.Q: Will Emory University take all of my college course work if I am accepted?A: We will review your official transcripts with the required accompanying descriptions of courses from your institution's course catalog only after you have been accepted.

It may be possible to have an employer write a letter of recommendation for you.Q: What do you look at for admission for a transfer student?A: We look at the strength of curriculum at their present institution and a variety of course work similar to an Emory student's core curriculum. We also want to see grades of mainly As and Bs in those courses as well as good SAT or ACT scores.International Students

Q: Am I eligible for need-based financial aid?A: Unfortunately, we do not offer need-based aid to international students. International students are required to submit a financial verification form in the admission process.Q: Am I eligible for merit-based scholarships?A: Emory does offer merit-based aid through the Emory Scholars and Goizueta Scholars programs. The scholars programs are extremely competitive. We usually receive 2,500 nominations for about 150 awards. These range from $10,000/year to full cost. Students who are awarded these scholarships typically have earned excellent grades, and their standardized test scores fall in our upper twenty-fifth percentile range (above 2220 on the SAT I and above 33 on the ACT). These students also demonstrate an emphasis on involvement outside school. Students must be nominated by their high school for this award. The deadline for Emory Scholars is November 15.Q: Can I check my application status online?A: You can track the status of your application online through the OPUS system. You can set up a login and password once the Office of Admission has processed part of your application. Due to the volume of applications, it may be up to four weeks by the time an application is put on the system.Q: Can I receive credit for AP exams, IB exams, or joint enrollment classes?A: Emory College will typically award four semester hours of college credit for each score of four or five on examinations of the Advanced Placement (AP) Program of the College Entrance Examination Board. We will award four semester hours of college credit for scores of five, six or seven on the higher-level International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations in the subject areas offered in Emory College. There are a few exceptions to both the AP and IB credit policies. We will award college credit for joint enrollment courses, if the courses taken meet all of the following criteria:

the course work was taken at an accredited institutionthe course was taken on a college campus in a class with college students (not a course taught at your high school)the course grade was C or better (no credit is given for classes taken pass/fail)the course is comparable to a course taught at Emory College (reference our catalog to compare)the course taken does not count toward a high school graduation requirement

Q: Is there an advantage to applying Early Decision?A: There is a statistical advantage to applying Early Decision to Emory; this advantage can be heavily attributed to the small size of the early decision applicant pool. However, the profile of students admitted through Early Decision and Regular Decision is almost identical. The main advantage of applying Early Decision is that you receive your admission decision much sooner in the process.Q: How do I schedule an interview?A: Emory does not offer on-campus interviews as part of the admission process, but we do offer interviews with Emory alumni in select cities, including Nashville, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, San Francisco, Tampa, Boston, Baltimore, Raleigh-Durham, and Seattle. In addition, if you are interested in visiting campus, we encourage you to do so. You'll be able to participate in a campus tour and a group information session.
