Hi kitkats4breakfs, Every situation will not be the same for every person and every student's choice to attend Emory will not be the same. I apologize that your experience was not as great as mine or many of the other alumni. I admit that I was not d...

You both are very welcome! I had to reach out to my senior mentor periodically for the first semester because I had so many questions and so much anxiety when it came to those infamous NCLEX-styled exams and how to prepare. She was very accurate and ...

Hi ummnasim! You're no bother at all. I love talking about my experience at Emory and would love to help out others as much as past alumni have helped me! The admissions people at Emory are wonderful in helping people get as much financial aid as pos...

I will be taking my TEAS at Mercer University in Atlanta on May 7th. It cost $60. Does anyone know what time the Student Day will begin? I'm assuming we will get another e-mail with more details other than the date of the event.....
Shiningstar05 replied to Shiningstar05's topic in Georgia
YAY!! I just got an e-mail for BSN Admitted Student Day on April 21st! I'm so excited. I wish I could bring my fiance' with me so he can get an idea of Emory.
