Do you think my extra curricular activities and ACT score can make up for my GPA that is slightly lower than what emory reports as their average GPA (3.8)?</p>

<p>You're in, don't worry about it ALL.</p>

<p>Your GPA and your ACT score are both good.
I think that that should get you in.</p>

<p>However, I think you're essay choices are WEAK.
I think just about everyone writes about his/her volunteering experiences.</p>

<p>But again with that said, you should be fine, especially if your sister does well in Emory.</p>
