<p>casablancama, your 3.65 UW GPA is slightly below the Emory middle 50%, which is 3.74-3.99, with an average GPA of 3.84. Your academic rigor seems fine. Your ACT score of 30 is within the Emory 50% of 30-33. While everyone worries about meeting the academic profile of an elite college like Emory, keep in mind that logically, 25% of admitted students fell at least a bit below the middle 50% in the academic profile (and the other 25% had a perfect 4.0 or at least a 3.9 and fabulous SAT or ACT scores). Furthermore, there are other factors considered. Thus, if you have a GPA that falls below the middle 50%, you can still gain admittance. If you are well-below, you can make up ground by having outstanding essays, recommendations, extracurriculars, demonstrated interest and other factors.
I do have two quick thoughts. 1) As an African American, you should benefit from URM status. Emory has three admissions counselors who are minority recruiters. I think that you should pick one of these and email him or her to mention your interest in Emory.

2)You may also want to email the Emory swim coach and see if he can help. If you do reasonably well with these other factors, I think that you have a good shot at getting in. Good luck.</p>
<p>I think you have a good chance! Good luck.</p>
<p>Btw. I have a book published on kindle. Will that help?</p>
<p>Maybe. Did you write that down in your application? Anything could help haha :P. Also, I think you have a real great chance. Good luck! I’m getting my decision on December 15th I believe… So scared xD</p>
<p>I think you have a good chance! **************.com has a chance Of admittance calculator if u want to see that, idk how accurate it is though lol</p>
