I was offered a spot off a waitlist at another school, but I have to deposit by Friday. I would still rather go to Emory. I wish it was appropriate to reach out to Emory and ask if they would be looking at their waitlist this week, but I know it'd be ineffective and annoying.
I’m rooting for y’all bc I need more instate people to get into Emory to free up from the GSU waitlist lol

14:00
There won't be any movement next week (he said there's a 20% chance), but there should be some movement in the second week of July.
14:07
Can anyone share the timelines for 2nd and 3rd review?
14:11
2nd review will happen between now and the second week of July. The third round will be July 22-early August (up until Orientation).
14:29
I’m still not getting this system. So if the people who passed the first review don’t get through the second, are they getting rejected or reconsidered for another review?
14:58
I think if you don't get an offer or a rejection during the second week of July, you are headed to the third round.
18:21
I see. Thanks for the clarification:)
