Can I still be considered for the Emory Scholars Program with a regular decision application?

I missed applying early decision but I'm really interested in the Emory Scholars Program. Does anyone know if applying RD gives me a shot at this program, or is it mostly for early applicants?

Applying for the Emory Scholars Program specifically requires that you apply under the Early Decision I or Early Decision II application plan. This is important because the scholars program application and nomination process takes place concurrent to the admissions process, and it primarily overlaps with the timeframe for Early Decision.

When you apply ED I or II, you can opt to be considered for the Emory Scholars program by checking the option on your application. This step is crucial, as Emory doesn't automatically consider all applicants for this program.

So, if you're applying Regular Decision, unfortunately, you won't have the opportunity to be considered for the scholars program. Applicants must apply Early Decision to be eligible.

I understand this might be disappointing, but keep in mind that Emory offers a variety of other scholarship programs and financial aid options that are available to those applying Regular Decision. As always, be sure to check on their website or reach out to the admissions office for the most accurate, up-to-date information.
