Even then kids don't get grants until their COMBINED incomes are less than $50,000 hwich effectively means you have to be very close to poverty before they'll budge and even in this case the chances that you can pay for the collegeboard fees for PROFILE and for SATs are probably not likely in the first and more importantly a child in this capacity is 70% less likely to even apply to any college. OHA AND I MEANT TO ADD I MISPELLED SOME THINGS DOWN BELOW NOT BECAUSE I'M DUMB BUT BC MY KEYBOARD IS WHACKED. Preparedness: -, Reputation: - Have a Question?

PART OF IT IS YOUR FAMILY AND PART OF IT IS JUST HOW YOU DEAL WITH YOUR EMOTIONS. YOUR FAMILY HAS ATTAINED WEALTH AND WANT TO SHUN ANYONE ELSE OUT BECAUSE WE'RE A THREAT TO YOUR "PERFECT" BUT THE TRULY PERFECT WORLD IS ONE WHERE RICH KIDS INVITE POORER KIDS INTO THEIR HOMES OR AT LEAST TALK TO THEM. There are things to note about Emory: #1 There ARE two different Undergrad schools Emory college and Oxford College. Both are equally snobby by the way except Oxford has to be nice to draw you in. Trust me I spoke with several different ppl at Emory main cmapus and they were all bitter. (I think its all the money goin to their heads but hey!) Oxford is better but don't let that fool you I went into learnlink to meet future classmates and added them to my facebook and I seemed to hit it off with one girl so I went into the details of my childhood and she totally blew me off for "scaring" her of the real world! I mean how can you go to a supposedly great institution and not realize the world is naturally scary? lol #2 It isn't the ivy league that said the ivy leaugue is not that diferent from emory so naturally they are al categorized together as being "good", in fact state schools (UGA as example WILL provide a better education) #3 It is a VERY VERY VERY expensive place even the teachers (who are alumni) told me that they transferred in their junior year and even then it was TOUGH TOUGH TOUGH TOUGH and that the school provides little scholarship assistance. Using me as example, I am one of those kids that fell thorugh the cracs of the system that even private institutions are bound by. My dad makes $95,000/ yr well okay thats alot right? but my mom makes only $9000/ yr and that is usually spent on food, clothes, and the basics. My dad pays mortgage, car, health, utility, and all expenses. At the end of the day we're only lookin at $5000-$7000 which means we're only capable of state school tuition if that. With Emory I'm STARING AT $30000/ yr still even with the HOPE scholarship nad other federal aid. Not including the fact that tuition increases if you start at Oxford since Oxford's cheaper. Chances are LOWER AND MIDDLE CLASS KIDS WILL NOT MAKE FINANCIALLY IT OR SOCIALLY. I STRONGLY STRONGLY STRONGLY ADVISE YOU TO RESCONSIDER EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU NEED TO GO TO THE BEST PLACE POSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF YOUR SITUATION. EMORY IS NOT THE SOLUTION! EMORY IS FOR MOSTLY RICH KIDS WHO COULDNT GET IN ELSEWHERE AND LIKEWISE ACT LIKE THEY ARE BETTER THAN YOU! THE TRUTH IS WE ARE ALL EQUAL NO MATTER WHAT. YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO DO BETTER AND I KNOW STATE SCHOOLS MIGHT BE A DRAG BUT DO LIKE ME KICK ASS AND GET IN THE HONORS PROGRAM AND THEN YOU'RE GETTING THE SAME EDUCATION AT IN STATE TUITION NOT ONLY ARE YOU SAVING SOOOOOO MUCH BUT YOURE PUTTING YOURSELF IN POSITION TO GET INTO A BADASS GRAD SCHOOL. PLUS YOU GET TO BE AROUND COOLER PEOPLE! JUST REMEMBER IM IN IT WITH U AND WE'LL MAKE IT OUT AND HOPEFULLY GET WHERE WE WANNA BE. WE ALL DESERVE IT EVEN THE SNOBBY KIDS ITS TOO BAD THEYRE THAT WAY BECAUSE THEYD BE JUST AS COOL AS ANYONE ELSE!

Some people complain about the General Education Requirements, which there are more of than at many other schools. I though that was the best aspect of Emory because I took classes which I would have never taken otherwise and which may not have prepared me for my future career but did develop my intellect (something that quite often does not happen to students at other schools with less GERs). The professors are mostly very accessible and give you plenty of opportunities to dwell deeper into their field if you are interested in it. Now for the negative aspects, as a pre-med I ended up doing a lot of things independently because guidance, although "available", was not really there unless you scheduled and followed up on it. And the guidance that you did get was often inadequate, especially for Neuroscience/Behavioral Biology majors (there are too many of us/them and I think there were only a couple of advisers for our whole class). The student body is very diverse but segregated and the students are often your generic pre-med or business major from Long Island. Not to say that there aren't any cool and interesting people, but you will probably meet most of them the first month of freshman year and end up sticking with them until you graduate. So if you are an independent and social individual and know what you want, Emory is amazing. If you want lots guidance through your 4 years in college and want to have social activities scheduled and friends made for you, Emory is not the place to go unless you join some religious, cultural, or ethnic "club", or a frat/sorority.
