<p>So here are my stats. </p>
<p>3.8 high school gpa
2180 SAT
3.9 gpa from Emory University</p>
<p>I am involved in clubs and extra-curriculurs here. </p>
<p>I am applying to Duke and Brown as a rising sophmore. I am hoping that applying from Emory will help a lot. What do you think of my chances?</p>
<p>Not that I am an expert, but its probably best to provide a little more information, i.e. what clubs you attended, so on and so forth.</p>
<p>Volunteer at hospital. In the club Chemory, which is a chemistry club. I am a chemistry major and music minor. I am also in club tennis. Also, just recently joined phi eta sigma, which is a national honor society. Nothing special.</p>
<p>if these were your community college stats, than i would say that you have no problem...</p>
<p>BUT.</p>
<p>my best gay friends was denied admission to UCLA as a freshman with a 4.0 and a perfect SAT score. he now makes a ton of money as the head-writer for rolling stone magazine...</p>
<p>i recommend reading "college admission secrets".</p>
<p>i take that all back! i didn't read the part about emory.</p>
<p>what are you ECs?</p>
<p>To be honest, I really don't think your chances are great at all. Nothing really stands out in your application, so I'm going to have to say no to both.</p>
<p>Why are you transferring?</p>
<p>Brown has always been my dream school. I love its curriculum and location. Duke is more for my parents. But I really want Brown.</p>
<p>i'm applying to brown with a 3.80 college gpa and a 2250, also from a USN&WR #18-ranked school and also as a chemistry/ch.engineering major.</p>
<p>honestly, i don't think our chances are that great (I say "our" because our stats are pretty similar). duke only accepts ~ 5%, too, so i would say your chance at that isn't stellar either.</p>
<p>but hey, you never know. random, good, amazing things have been known to happen.</p>
<p>did you apply to any "backup" transfers?</p>
<p>No i didn't, I dont want to go anywhere else. What school are you from?</p>
