Rejected via E-mail on 22 Feb 2021

Note

I regret to inform you that the faculty in the program you applied to has not recommended you for admission to Emory University's Laney Graduate School. This year's pool of applicants was both very large and highly competitive, and our review of applicants' credentials and interests left us with difficult decisions. Graduate admissions decisions are based on the applicants' preparation for advanced study and on judgments about their strength relative to other applicants in the pool. The deliberations also consider how applicants and their proposed areas of study and research match up with faculty and with other resources and opportunities available at Emory over the next several years. All applicants' files, including yours, received a thorough review, and after careful consideration we have decided not to extend you an offer of admission. If you have any questions about the decision, please contact your program directly. Thank you for your interest, and for taking the time to apply to the Laney Graduate School at Emory University. I am sure you are pursuing other options as well, and wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Lisa A. Tedesco Lisa A. Tedesco, Ph.D. Vice Provost for Academic Affairs, Graduate Studies Dean, James T. Laney School of Graduate Studies
