We are unable to comment on student’s chances for admission. We encourage you to review our admission profile data for a sense of our competitiveness.
It is important to note the evaluation of applications by the Admission Committee is comprehensive and holistic . Although an outstanding academic record is important, we select students based on many attributes and are especially interested in those we believe will contribute to, as well as benefit from, our community. Students are selected on the basis of many attributes—academic record, extracurricular achievements, demonstrated leadership and community/family contribution, personal essays, and letters of recommendation. Admission decisions are comprehensive and there is no magic formula for selecting the perfect Emory University student.
"Demonstrated interest" is not a factor in our application review process. Things like visiting campus, attending a virtual session, or talking with or emailing your admission counselor have no impact on the evaluation of your application.
Further information about why we do not take demonstrated interest into account is in this blog post .
No. Both Emory College and Oxford College participate in Division III intercollegiate sports as part of the NCAA and NJCAA, respectively. As a Division III school, we are not permitted to offer athletic scholarships or allow athletic talent to influence financial aid in any way. As with all applicants, student-athletes are encouraged to apply for need-based financial aid if they need it and nominate themselves for merit scholarships.
Emory has a rich tradition of academic excellence and athletic achievement. Each year, our coaches are looking for high-caliber students to join their teams and continue to build on the legacy of the championship-winning Emory Eagles on both campuses.
Coaches at both Emory College and Oxford College are familiar with admission policies and work closely with admission staff throughout the application process. Coaches can be an important resource for prospective athletes and their families. Coaches may offer advice and provide feedback to the admission office at any time. Coaches are allowed to make a commitment of support to a prospective student-athlete. However, only the Office of Undergraduate Admission can review an applicant, make an admission decision, and notify an applicant of that admission decision.
