Alext182 Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 This morning I received an invite to visit Emory's program. Did anybody else? I'm trying to gauge how good my chances are of beig admitted. I guess their interviews can be stressful. Anybody have any more info besides past posts?
sociologyplease Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I didn't apply there, and have no information about the interviews, but congrats! That is very exciting! Is it a top choice of yours?
JohnBom Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I got an invite two years ago. They invited about 15 - 20 of us and aimed for a cohort for about five or smaller. I am guessing they made about ten offers. I got one myself but really wasnt interested in living in Atlanta and said no. It's a very nice department though and I had a great time visiting. Have fun!
danielcharles87 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Hey all. Just joined after watching these conversations for the past few months. I applied to Emory and thought I had a decent shot but I haven't received an invite for a visit/interview. Did you receive the invite via email?
danielcharles87 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Ah very cool, AlexT. You applying out of undergrad? Think you'll go down for the visit/interview?
Alext182 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 I took a few years off after graduating with a BA at 21. But I haven't attended a graduate program yet. I'm excited about visiting the program and seeing Atlanta. Just curious about the "interview" process. And I wasn't expecting to hear anything until early February. Now I'm anxious to hear from other programs but I'm trying to forget about it for the next few weeks.
danielcharles87 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Yeah agreed - the anxiety and the waiting is no fun. I sit in front of a computer all day, compulsively checking my email...looks like this forum is something new to obsess over haha. Good luck in the interview and hopefully I'll get the invite to check it out too!
kbirch Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Congrats, AlexT! Best of luck. I also applied and am hoping for an interview... I feel like I have a good fit at Emory but it's so hard to get in anywhere these days. : / Here's hoping we all have some success!
danielcharles87 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 AlexT, I was wondering who you received the email from regarding the invite to check out Emory's program. Did it specify actual interviews? I spoke with Admissions today and they seemed puzzled when I asked them about it so I was just wondering if maybe you received the invite from a professor or something separate from admissions. Thanks! Dan
giacomo Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 is it safe to assume a rejection if one didn't get said invite to visit?
danielcharles87 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 I was wondering the same thing, giacomo. Applied to Emory and was very hopeful, but I haven't been asked to visit. The optimist in me says that if we didn't get asked to visit, we were just shoo-ins and there was no need for further evaluation! But I suspect this may very well not be the case...
giacomo Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 @danielcharles: Yeah. In fact, I'm waiting for Alext's PM about what he PM'd you above re: the Emory visit.
kbirch Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 I applied to Emory, too, and thought I was a good fit... The hopeful in me is thinking maybe they're not done reviewing applications. Hopeful or deluded? Who knows at this point!
giacomo Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Would appreciate inputs from current Emory students and those in the know (invitees, etc.). -gia
wmnshlthsoc Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Anyone get a final response from emory? congrats to everyone who interviewed!!
coyabean Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 is it safe to assume a rejection if one didn't get said invite to visit? Yes. Sorry. :/
wmnshlthsoc Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 i see that emory sent out acceptances and waitlist notifications today... feedback from anyone? I'm pretty sure that means emory is rejecting me... not sure I wanna move back down south anyway
