Regular Decision

Applying through Regular Decision gives you more time to finalize your college choice and is the most common application path to Emory. Unlike Early Decision, it is nonbinding, so you can compare admission and financial aid offers from multiple schools before making your final decision. Regular Decision is the traditional route, and the majority of students choose this option when applying to Emory.
