Emory CS Courses

Current sophomore, just completed cs253 and cs224. They were completely impractical all theory. Little to no practice coding. I have looked at other schools curriculums and they all seem to have much more actual practice involved with these classes. Does it get better with the higher level courses or are they all taught as badly? I love it here but if it doesn’t change I might have to transfer.

How hard is it to get in ED2 Emory?

The main reason why I want to apply for Emory is to hopefully get into their nursing program which I heard was no. 1.

I already got rejected from UPENN for their ED1 and Emory's nursing program appealed to me because I heard its nursing program was just as good or even better. However, I did some research and I saw that it ED 2 for Emory almost has the same rates for going RD.

Since I am applying for nursing how hard would it be for me if I were to consider doing ED2 compared to RD? Would my chances be better for ED 2 or RD in general?

Thank you for the help!

(my stats are also not the best but I have many strong extracurriculars dedicated to my passion for my major)

UW GPA 3.71 W GPA 4.17 (10+ APs)

Some Extracurriculars: medical internship, CNA certification (100+ hours of clinicals at a hospice), 200+ hours of hospital volunteering, CPR/BLS certified, research articles on cancer, HOSA SLC competitor etc.)

Needs suggestions

I'm an international IB student in a public school, and I want to ask whether 4.0 average weighted GPA is ok for applying ED2. I have 41/45 predicted, but I only have a 4 in Chinese A since my school didn't offer Chinese B for my year (although I spent most of my childhood studying in and English-based country). i wonder if these grades will be sufficient or if my Chinese will heavily impact my application... thanks!

Has anyone had luck getting an SNTL requirement waived?

I’m in my last year at Emory, and I just realized I might have an issue with my SNTL (Science and Technology with Lab) requirement. I’m a QSS and Anthropology major with a CS minor, and I’ve taken plenty of classes that seem like they should count—CS 170, QTM 210, QTM 220, and MATH 210, to name a few.

All of these were 4 credits, had lab components (lots of coding), and seem like they’d fit under the SNTL category, but none of them are showing up there. From what I understand, the GERs changed a bit, so maybe that’s why?

Has anyone had experience getting a requirement like this waived or substituting a class for it? If so, who did you reach out to? Any advice would be super helpful—thanks!

Should I ED2 to Emory?

Hi! I'm thinking of ED2'ing to Emory. I was rejected ED1 from UChicago. My stats are:

  • 1560 SAT (780 Math/780 EBRW)
  • 3.65 GPA
  • By the time I finish high school, I will have completed 12 dual enrollment classes at a T50 school, including junior and senior-level math classes. I have also done math research and am 2nd author on a published paper. My intended major is math.

Do you think that my GPA will cause me to be instantly filtered out, or will my high level of course rigor and SAT compensate for that?

How good is the Emory math major. Do Emory math majors have strong placement into competitive jobs and graduate schools?

Thank you for your help.

Investment banking career

I am high school senior interested to join Emory. I want to make my career in IB or wall street. I am looking at BBA which has finance area depth. Would BBA be sufficient to break into IB? Should I plan to do economics or math from Emory college? If yes, is it possible to have dual major in BBA and Economic/Math. Thanks in advance

ended with C+ in chem202 and 203

I’m from Oxford College and just ended with another C+ in Chem203, while having Chem202 ending with a C+ as well. Are my Pre-Dental dreams over? I’m really looking forward to Bio142 as Biology is my strong suit, and I’m doing well in other Pre-Dental prereqs such as Psychology, English classes, basically having A’s in every other class BUT chemistry.

Please be brash and honest.

Does the prestige where you got your undergrad degree matter?

Hello! I am currently a Pre-med student at Georgia State University, but I am looking into getting a masters at Emory to become a CAA.

I was wondering if the university that I receive my undergrad degree from will have a large effect on the likelihood of my acceptance to a highly ranked school like Emory?

Thanks for any advice!

Internship Senior Year

Hey y'all, I'm a Junior majoring in Math/CS, and I have been working at a summer camp for my first two summers, and I am going to work there one last time this summer. But I know how important internships are for getting a job. So does anyone have a similar experience where their only chance of getting an internship was Senior year? I know I'll technically be graduated by then, but I've seen some applications that are open to Seniors. So if anyone has advice or experiences I'd really appreciate it!

Do AP credit and transfer credits contribute to GPA at all?

Just curious, I wouldn't think so but I wanted to know especially since different colleges calculate differently.

One of the material types listed is "Video," but I couldn't find for sure in any FAQs. If so, that would be really cool! I'm testing it out as a request currently, so I guess I'll report back either way lol.

I have seen that Emory may have a good Creative Writing Program. Is that true?

I am looking to do a Creative Writing degree, but UGA does not have the classes that I want. However, I am in the process of completing a double-major and I don't know if I could do my double major at Emory.

What do you know about the Creative Writing Program? Is it worth it?
