Checking in as well, although I'm applying to the AJD program.


Did any of you guys write a "why Emory" addendum?

-1 I actually like that they don't provide status checker. The wait is much easier this way.

All my other apps have a status checker. I like to be able to at least know that they have my stuff and/or are looking at my stuff lol

Emory does send you a note when they have all your stuff tho. And some schools' status checkers don't change much at all, namely W&M (Blank even after decision made), UNC (stays complete until decision made). In my count with or without status checker, it takes the same amount of time to hear back from schools; thus I'd rather save some meaningful minutes from incessant checking.

Nonetheless, I do check them everyday. FML.

Checking in. At first I hated that there isn't a status checker, but now I don't mind... I actually forget that I've applied sometimes because I'm not incessantly checking (which is definitely a good thing... for my sanity).

Emory 2L here! Happy to answer any questions you have while I procrastinate.

Unless you're early decision, I think Emory typically starts releasing decisions in late January/early February.

Ugh. That's so long lol

Just got a letter from the managing partner at Sutherland Asbill & Brennan encouraging me to apply to Emory. Thought it was a little strange cause I only ever got these types of letters from the law schools themselves and not the alumni.
