r/Emory

Is it common to rent micro-fridge? It says its about $220 yearly and im wondering whether its worthy to rent it. Or is it better to just buy mini fridge and use common microwave in the hallway?

Hey! I just wanted to come on here and ask about what the Genetics course with Dr. Cole is like for anyone who has taken it! I always read the Rate My Professor reviews to help me succeed in a course, but I noticed Dr. Cole doesn't have any reviews for her genetics course! I also have never taken Dr. Cole. I am taking this course for PA school admission. Any information about this course or advice would be greatly appreciated! I also see there is a discussion portion of the course! What is that like?

Hi! I am currently a senior applying to emory. It seems like an amazing school but I am a little worried about the social life as there is no sports. I was curious what people do on the weekends, how greek life is, etc. Thank you so much.

Hi I’m going to do my first elective in transplant medicine.
It’s said it’s 2weeks for liver and 2weeks for kidney. And half outpatient half inpatient.

So it seems like the time to stick to one attending is very limited. Should I ask to stay in one specialty? Is it feasible?

And anything special to do in the Emory school or fun things to explore nearby? And any additional opportunities in Emory?

Thank you for guys sharing!

As a high school student, I’m currently interested in Emory, UNC, and USC, and I’m hoping to pursue a PhD or Graduate school in the future (possibly in biology/neuroscience-related fields) (not in the pre-med route).

I have a few questions:

1. Which school provides better opportunities for undergraduates to get involved in research? How accessible are professors and research labs for undergraduate students who want to apply for grad school/ PHD?

2. Does it feel overly competitive, and is it difficult to maintain a strong GPA?

3. Are facilities like libraries, study spaces, and other academic resources usually accessible, or do they tend to be overcrowded?

4. I’m more of an introverted person and I’m not really interested in Greek life. What is the overall campus/social experience like? Is it easy to find communities and make friends outside of Greek life?

Thank you so much for any advice!

Hey
Im entering freshmen this yr and wondering each hall have microwave at common area or at each floor. Thx

Hi guys. Just checked OPUS and found out I got into the MN pathway starting spring 2027. Anyone else would like to connect and make a gc about housing and nursing related stuff?

I’m a recruited athlete trying to decide between Emory and** **Case Western Reserve University for pre-med.
Here’s my situation:
4.0 unweighted GPA
33 ACT
Recruited athlete (state championship level)
Extensive physician shadowing
Lots of volunteer hours at my local hospital
My family will probably not qualify for need-based financial aid

Case Western has already offered me a merit scholarship, but Emory has not offered any merit aid. Since Emory’s Early Decision (ED) is binding, I’m hesitant to commit without having a better idea of whether students with similar profiles typically receive any merit scholarships.
For those of you who were admitted to Emory:
Did you receive any merit scholarships? If so, approximately how much?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially from pre-med students or recruited athletes. Thanks!

Incoming freshman looking to get formally diagnosed and hopefully medicated; parents don't think ADHD is a real thing, can't afford a neuropsych, primary physician and therapist can't help, been told to use my college's resources but emory does not offer any help specifically for ADHD. Anyone know any resources I can use? I really don't know what to do.

how hard is it to get on-campus housing for 3rd and 4th year students? i really need to get the on-campus housing option…

I don't really know where to begin. I had another argument with my father, and he says he won't be paying for my college anymore and that I can't live with them anymore. I'm an incoming freshman, and I got an exception to commute because my family lives close to the campus. I knew Emory was a bit expensive for my parents, but my parents are very well off and they told me it was okay to go for it. Now, right before college starts, and I already have my schedule pretty much, they're telling me no. I dont know what to do. There's no hope for reconciliation. I am so scared of them, and I always have to walk around eggshells around them. I just feel so stupid for thinking something could work out in my life that my parents didn't ruin. I already signed and accepted the financial aid offer. I dont know what to do. Should I drop out?

Is psyc 111 an easy class with professor Elizabeth Kim at Emory university atl? Is it easy to manage with general science classes for pre-med?

posting this in behalf of a incoming freshman!!!

can your id cards get you into different dorm buildings than your own?

is there a time cutoff for dorms where ID cards will stop working?

Thanks so much!

Basically the subject. I’m debating whether I should have 1-2pm classes because that’s when I eat lunch. I thought about it and I could just pack my lunch and eat then. So am I allowed to pack food? I also am on the unlimited plan if that makes a difference.

For those who got into Emory, would you guys mind sharing your stats(gpa, ECs, honors, awards, courses, etc…)? Also your intended major. Also any advice… 😭

Does anyone know if there's a group chat on instagram for incoming students? Some of my friends going to other unis have some sort of gc for the cohort.
