Emory University Applicant Portal Activation: QuestBridge will send Finalists’ applications to Emory on October 18, and Emory may need a couple days to import them into their system. Once processed, Emory will then email you instructions to log in and activate your Emory applicant portal, where you can track the status of the materials you submit to Emory.

(Optional) Test Scores  
Self-Reported or Official Reports

SAT code: 5187
ACT code: 0810

Emory University is test optional, meaning students can apply without submitting their SAT or ACT score(s) in the 2023-2024 academic year. Learn more about Emory’s test-optional policy. Students who rank Emory University can indicate which, if any, scores they would like considered in Emory’s review of their application. 

For students who would like to submit test scores, Emory considers scores as an indication of academic preparation, and they will be reviewed. Emory accepts self-reported test scores. Students can send their scores to admission@emory.edu  or upload them to their Emory applicant portal after applying.

If self-reported scores are included in a student’s application, official scores will be required if that student is admitted and chooses to enroll, typically in the summer before enrolling. 

SAT II Subject exams are not required, but students are welcome to submit them with their application. Self-reported scores are accepted.

2024-2025 CSS Profile

CSS code: 5187
Available Oct. 1

Please select “Early Decision 1” as your admission application type. This does not mean you are applying Early Decision 1, but it allows the Office of Financial Aid to process your financial aid paperwork quickly and in time for the Match.

If your parents are divorced or separated:

• Each parent will need to complete their own CSS Profile application. Your parents should not share their CollegeBoard log-in credentials with each other so as to keep their financial information private.
• If you do not have any contact with your non-custodial parent, then you may submit a request to waive the requirement of their financial information. Please download the Non-Custodial Parent Waiver Petition and submit it to IDOC (see below).

Your non-custodial parent must also submit copies of their 2022 federal tax return with all schedules, attachments, W-2 forms and other earnings and/or year-end benefit statements.

Early Decision, Emory Scholars

Finalists who do not match who elect to forward their QuestBridge application to Emory in December are automatically considered under the Regular Decision admission plan. They are considered for competitive merit awards, all need-based financial aid awards offered by Emory University, and will learn of their admission decision by April 1. Students do not need to submit any additional documents but should continue to monitor their Emory applicant portal. Admission plan changes to Early Decision II can be made through the Application Change Form by the January 1 deadline.

All applicants, except Match Finalists who ranked Emory, who would like to be considered for the Emory University Scholar Programs must submit the Common Application by November 15. Only one application is needed; therefore, they do not need to also forward their QuestBridge application to Emory in December.

Regular Decision

Finalists who rank Emory but did not match will be considered for admission to both first-year classes of Emory University - Emory College of Arts and Sciences (in Atlanta) and Oxford College (in Oxford, GA, 38 miles east of the city) through Regular Decision. 

Please submit an updated transcript and any relevant updates.

If you no longer wish to be considered for either Emory College of Arts and Sciences or Oxford College, you must contact the Admissions Office to withdraw your application (see Contact Information below).
