<p>Will chance you on Friday, after ED1 decisions come out. You are applying RD? Your stats are similar to my son’s (although he is not a URM…but he is in the top 2% of his class).</p>

<p>I plan on applying RD, but if I really like it after I visit and possibly sit-in on a class I might apply EDII.</p>

<p>Looks like a good fit to me.</p>

<p>Well, my son got in ED with similar stats. If you change your application to ED2 I believe that you have a good chance of admission. Emory really does want a student body who wants them. Interest is very important there and applying ED is the ultimate way to say that you are interested. If you keep it for RD then 50/50 chances because then you will be thrown in a pool of all the applicants who didn’t get into other top 20 schools (but had the stats to).</p>
