1. Glad to see this thread jumping.
2. I received a call from the AdCom that reviewed my file and was informed of admissions decision and scholarship (I nearly dropped the phone) by her. The scholarship info was included in the immediate follow-up email. And lastly, a UPS package came a few weeks later with a very handsome Emory branded leather folder containing paper copies of everything.
3. Super Saturday is okay, I wouldn't sweat missing it too much. I would have much preferred to sit in on an actual class, instead they trotted out a professor that I'm pretty sure was a student favorite. He covered some pretty basic material, but did it in a very engaging, humorous way. But that was only about 1/2 hour long, I would have been much more interested to see a full-length class buried somewhere in mid-term drudgery. Aside from that, the basics are covered including facilities tour, AdCom, FA, etc. The major advantage would be that there are a ton of students available to chat with. If you are able to go to a social event, I would do that. One thing I noticed about Emory is that everybody towed the line admirably, so if you find someone who seems more candid than usual, pump them for info. That's it, best of luck to everyone still applying/interviewing.
p.s. Ask someone there where the Pepsi machine is. It'll be hilarious, trust me.
