Finalists who rank Emory University
If you are a Finalist who ranked Emory University, your National College Match application will be sent to Emory University, and you will need to submit the following requirements to the school by November 1. If you have questions after reviewing the information below, please reach out to the school directly.
This page will be updated later this summer for the 2025 National College Match.
Requirements
Emory University Application Status Portal Activation
QuestBridge will send Finalists’ applications to college partners on October 16, and Emory University may need a couple of days to import them into their system. Once processed, Emory University will then email you instructions to log in and activate your applicant portal, where you can track the status of the materials you submit.
All transcripts must be submitted directly to Emory Office of Admission by your high school guidance counselor or a high school administrator. They may email your official transcripts to admission@emory.edu or upload via Slate.org.
Emory University is test optional, meaning students can apply without submitting their SAT or ACT score(s) in the 2024-2025 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.

2025-2026 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).
Once you complete the CSS Profile, you will be given instructions on how to submit your parents’ federal tax returns through the CollegeBoard IDOC service. Please include all schedules, attachments, W-2 forms and other earnings and/or year-end benefit statements. Please include personal and business returns if applicable.
Your non-custodial parent must also submit copies of their 2023 federal tax return with all schedules, attachments, W-2 forms and other earnings and/or year-end benefit statements.
Do not submit directly to Emory as they will not be accepted or posted.
