Application Requirements

Emory is Common Application exclusive, which means that to be considered for admission, all first-year applicants should submit the following items:

Common Application
Common Application Supplement for Emory
A $50 application fee or a fee waiver from the College Board
Transcript(s) of all high school work including courses in progress and courses and grades from the previous three academic years
Transcript(s) of any college courses taken, if applicable
Results from either the SAT I* or ACT; SAT II results are encouraged but are not required unless home-schooled
Secondary school report / counselor's recommendation
Up to two additional optional recommendations

*Score Choice: For fall 2010 applicants, Emory will take the Highest Section Scores Across Test Dates (version 2). Emory considers your highest section scores across all SAT dates submitted. You will be instructed to send scores from every SAT test date on which you received a top score in each section: mathematics, critical reading and writing. Final admissions decisions are based only on your highest section scores, and Emory updates your records each time you receive new scores. You will be encouraged to submit scores each time you take the SAT because it will always benefit you to do so.

Home-schooled and international applicants: Please visit your respective sections in the website for details about how to apply.
