TTTT, 61/170, 3.11.
I applied and was confirmed June 28..How long does it usually take Emory to make a decision?
Based off the ABA 509 report, I'm within their range, but I don't come from a strong school, which makes me feel like this application is hopeless..

They got back to me pretty quickly. I was confirmed 6/22 and accepted 6/29 (TT, top 15% 3.6). Do be aware though that the deadline for OCI bidding is 7/5 so you'll likely miss that if you are accepted. From what I've heard, that's really early.

I asked them and they don't do a status check like most other schools. However, there does seem to be something.
https://opus.emory.edu. If you applied for financial aid, there may be some instructions on how to access.
Otherwise, I think they ask for your social? Not sure.

Has anyone heard any updates?
Last communication I had with admissions was that they are still discussing my file and that they hope to have a decision for me soon..

Not sure if this is good or bad, but the anxiety is driving me nuts!

I am in the same position! Why is it taking so long lol?

I accepted another offer meantime from a safe school bc seat deadline was yesterday for me and was wondering if Emory does come through can I rescind my acceptance from the other law school? Will there be any ramifications besides losing seat deposit?

I just applied a couple of days ago. They said they'd try to have a decision by the end of next week.

Hopefully tomorrow is the day.
It's fine because I've gotten into other schools, but Emory is the goal.

As long as I know the decision I'll be at peace!

So OPUS no longer allows me to log on anymore.
I called IT support and they said a possibility could be that my status has changed.
This could mean a decision was made and the system is just catching up.
Still don't know if i'm rejected or accepted though!!
