<p>Hi Guys! I really want to go to Emory but my stats are just not good enough.</p>
<p>GPA - 3.8 unweighted (demanding course load but not the MOST demanding and this is not my fault cuz I just came to U.S last year and our counselor doesnt leave many options to internationals!!!)
SAT: Superscored CR-660, W-660 M-690 (total-2010) Emory only looks at the highest sections right? my single highest is 1950 otherwise.
EC's- Orchestra Concert Master, Choir, Club president, Community service and more in school EC's.</p>
<p>And guys, the reason I couldnt apply early decision 1 was because my SAT score was only 1600s in June and I didnt want to be rejected and have no chance for RD so I waited until I pull my score up.</p>
<p>Should I apply ED II with those stats? OR If I can score over 2200+ in January test, would it be better for me to apply RD? Emory is my first choice either way but which one is better???? What should I do??? Deadline is almost here for ED II Please help mE!</p>
<p>anyone please? I need to email my counselor whether I want to do ED or not by today and I really don’t know which option is better!! :(</p>
<p>personally, i would wait until i brought my scores up.
but if you wait until january, you have to be sure you can actually bring them up, and make sure that you’ll get your scores in time for the deadline.
and about that class schedule that you said was not as hard as you would’ve liked, i would recommend writing an essay to explain your position as an international.</p>
<p>I think that you will be okay either way. It looks like you are already within the middle 50% in terms of academics:</p>
<p>Academics - Admitted Students
Average GPA, middle 50% 3.71 - 3.98 / 4.0 unweighted scale
SAT verbal, middle 50% 640–730
SAT math, middle 50% 660–750
SAT total, middle 50% 1320–1460
ACT, middle 50% 29–33 </p>
<p>Your ECs are good. I would probably apply ED II, but I think you are in good shape either way.</p>
<p>Definitely need to get SATs up.</p>
<p>Thank you for the replies!!!
So I should apply regular right?
Is there anyway that I can let them know that they are my first choice and I would have applied ED if it were not my low SATs? Cuz many people who apply to HYPS would probably apply to emory as a safety and would probably write good essays too so I don’t have anything to show them…:(</p>
