It sounds like this year, Emory isn't considering rejected early applicants for the regular admissions cycle, at least according to the email response I received from them. I am practically itching to apply early, but I am just afraid they'll turn me down not only because my raw math score is low (530), but because of its % rank, which is only 30%. South told me that's why I was rejected without an interview offer. Do you mind if I ask why you were rejected in the early app process? Do you feel it was due to your interview?
