I got accepted to Emerson today . Has anyone else hear applied to/heard from Emerson or already attend?

I think titaniumdonut goes there.

Congrats Mark! i just visited there on march 18th, im still a junior, but its my first choice.

its so weird if u think about it. i never thought of ever crossing paths with ne1 from this site.

I live about 20 miles away from Emerson and I visited it over the summer. For lack of a better phrase, it's pretty bad ass.

Congrats! It's a fantastic school!

JW is going there in the fall, and I seriously debated between it and NYU. Go for the special welcome event/tour as soon as you can. You'll love it.

Titanium goes to NYU. JW is going to Emerson next year I think.

Congratulations....I'm a freshmen film major here. If you have any questions at all (about the film program, student life, boston, etc etc) post them. I'll be glad to answer them. I remember I asked someone on Studentfilms who goes here a bunch of questions when I was a senior in high school and it was extremely helpful in my decision. So go head, ask whatever.

Well, I was wondering how restricted the course selection is, cause i wanted to take a buisness and or acounting course while i'm there. Is this at all possible to work out?

Hmm...Well Emerson College is a liberal Arts school so aside from your major, you do take a variety of different courses. Accounting? Not so sure. Emerson is not the ideal place for a math student. They offer Math classes but if you get above a pretty average score on the Math SAT, you dont have to take them. There are probably business courses that allign with marketing majors though..Not so sure you can take them if you are a different major. But yeah there is a large amount of courses you can take...In this past year I've taken an Introduction to psychology course, a contemporary history course, 2 writing classes, and a philosophy course.

i got a letter from Emerson today, WAIT LISTED. Congrats to you Mark and all those that got in. I visited the campus this past week and was impressed with the facilities. In the words of one of the professors at Emerson, "our facilities are both state-of-the-art AND state-of-the-industry." I think I'm going to attend NYU next year. I was accepted under the GSP.

Thanks everyone.

I actually got accepted to Boston University yesterday as well, but didn't find out until later last night. If I get into NYU, it's going to be one hell of a decision deciding between Tisch and Emerson. Drewwitt, I'll be sure to post any questions I come up with. Thank you. Can't wait to visit Boston!

A senior in my photography class got accepted to both Tisch and Emerson. He chose Emerson. He said he liked the setting so much more, and NYC just being an intimidating place to live in.

Congrats, Mark, to you and all you other lucky Emerson-goers...you should all know that I am determined as all hell to transfer into Emerson after sophomore year, because UConn pretty much sucks when it comes to video and stuff. I think my grades will be at a pretty good level come transfer time (except for my Stat class), I'll have a pretty good extracurricular and work resume on my side, the Benton video will be on my creative portfolio, and to top it all off, they won't have to see my mediocre SAT scores. I'll also be applying to Hofstra and some other places as well, but as far as I'm concerned, it's Emerson or bust!

That was my main argument, but in the end NYC won, and I don't mind it at all now that I'm here. The city is big and noisy and smelly, but it's sort of comforting in an odd way. It just sits outside my window and exists and that's all. I am no longer intimated or impressed by it. It simply is.

Too get accepted to a school like emerson what is more prefered, book smarts in every class?
or more of a passion for the liberal arts?

lol if u couldnt guess by now, i obviously lack in one

hi, im a junior in HS and was wounder about the courses. does emerson have a degree program, as in BA or MA. Also how long is the film course at emerson?

You might want to check out their website for that kind of info. I think they have a BA and an MA.

Does emerson require you to take a math class while you are in the media arts program?

Not if you have an above average SAT in math. Something like 500 or 550 is good enough, if I remember correctly.

OK, so I got into Emerson and I got into the GSP program at NYU. This is a tough decision. I have always wanted to go to NYU, but I also really love the Emerson community But I am also not sure if GSP will put me behind or not be the best option. what do you think?
