<p>I'm an Indian-born Canadian citizen living in California. I attend the 9th best school in the State, it's very competitive, we're a feeder school for UC Berkeley, a ton of UCs and we had 5 kids already accepted early to Stanford this year, amongst earlies to Brown, Cornell, 2 to Harvard, etc.</p>

<p>I'm a competitive speaker and debater. Amongst many many many top three finishes at league tournaments in Student Congress, International/National Extemporaneous, Original Advocacy, Parli Debate, Cross Ex Debate I have the following notable accomplishments:</p>

<p>Ranked 3rd in the State of CA in International Extemp last year</p>

<p>Ranked 8th in the State of CA in International Extemp my soph year</p>

<p>National Finalist at the 2004 NFL National Championships in Student Congress (top 20 in the nation)</p>

<p>I have a crapload of finalist finishes at tourneys like Stanford, Cal, i'll be flying to Emory to compete at the Barkley Forum tournament later this month, hopefully I can schedule an on-campus interview. I'm Captain of the Extemp team (the best team in the State), I'm an officer on the speech team. Was cofounder and treasurer of Conservative Club, co-founder and secretary of Indian club, Tech Editor and Assistant EIC of a indepedent student news magazine (much like the economist), I'm a Defense Attorney and Pretrial Attorney on my schools highly competitive mock trial team. I've been a youth group leader in my local temple every week for the past four years. Played volleyball soph year, got a couple of meaningless awards like scholar athlete and mvp.</p>

<p>My slight hook: my parents moved our fam from Canada 4 years ago and they own a few UPS Stores. I've worked at the stores every day for four years, I have like 5000 hours of work experience. Through work, I got in contact with the CEO of a large Indian airline and I've been given an internship for the summer after my senior year.</p>

<p>My essays were decent I guess, I dunno, im a pretty good writer. My recs are impeccable because i've had my eng teacher for two years and my speech coach/teacher also wrote me a letter.</p>

<p>Im not applying for financial aid and im applying undeclared arts and sciences, but my app has a STRONG business/econ theme because of work and the whole "immigrants American Dream thing"</p>

<p>sounds like a pretty good application. a couple of things... emory doesnt do any interviews and their admissions are need blind, so they dont pay any attention to whether youre applying for aid or not.</p>

<p>you might consider showing a lot of interest in the school by taking a tour, ordering their video thing, etc cause they make personal interest a big part of the decision it sounds like. i dunno what emory does in this case but some schools dont accept the very best applicants because they dont think theyre going to attend anyway. is emory your first choice? oh and class rank is important too. you didnt have that on there.</p>
