Meet the Admission Staff

Each admission staff member represents a specific region of the country or world based on the location of your high school. (If you are homeschooled, please use your home address to determine your region.)

Your regional admission representative is your primary contact throughout the application process and can provide guidance on academics, campus life, financial aid, and next steps. If you have a detailed question, we encourage you to reach out to them directly.

Prospective students and families may also contact our general admission offices. For the Emory University Atlanta campus, email admission@emory.edu. For Oxford College of Emory University, email oxadmission@emory.edu.
