Individual faculty do not make admissions decisions and students are not admitted directly into individual research laboratories. Rather, an admissions committee of several faculty reviews all applications. This committee considers the entire application including grades, test scores, research experience, letters of recommendation, the statement of purpose, and in some cases an interview, prior to making a recommendation to the Graduate School for admission. You may write to Emory faculty to learn more about their research interests.
