<p>Hi everybody, </p>

<p>I posted a similar thread a few months ago, but now that I have some stats to look at, please chance me!</p>

<p>I hope to transfer to Emory in the Fall of 2013. </p>

<p>I graduated high school with a un-weighted GPA of 3.67 and a weighted GPA of 3.81 and I was in the top 10% with rank #15 of of 187.</p>

<p>ACT: 32</p>

<p>Currently, I attend a community college, and I chose to go as it is the largest in the state, and because of a "full load" (12 hours) tuition scholarship. Also, when I was applying for college, my ACT was a 26.</p>

<h2>I will have a total of 35 credits (19 Fall, 16 Spring). My GPA is currently a 4.0 and I hope to maintain that in the Spring. </h2>

<p>Here is a list of the things I did in High School:</p>

<p>9th Grade: 1st place in the regional science fair and 4th place in the state science fair. President of the Science Club. About 60 hours of Peer Tutoring; about 28 hours of Soup Kitchen.</p>

<p>10th Grade: President of the Public Speaking Team. About 60 hours of Peer Tutoring; about 28 hours of Soup Kitchen.</p>

<p>11th grade: About 100 hours of Peer Tutoring; about 28 hours of Soup Kitchen. </p>

<p>12th Grade: 1st place in the School Science Fair. 1st place in the DECA Regional competition and 2nd place in the DECA State Competition. Highest average in Pre-calculus, AP Biology, AP Macro-economics and Fundamentals of Art. Outstanding effort in AP English.
Vice President of DECA and Treasurer of Spanish Club. I was ranked as a Corporal in JROTC.</p>

<h2>About 40 hours of Peer Tutoring, and 10 hours of Community Service. (JROTC)</h2>

<p>College Stats (So far)</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 (19 credits)
I will be taking 16 credits in the Spring, and let's go with the assumption I maintain a 4.0. </p>

<p>Calhoun Warhawk: Calhoun Warhawks are literally ambassadors for the college. </p>

<p>Learning Spanish and Hindi using Rosetta Stone. </p>

<h2>Learning coding through Learn</a> to code | Codecademy </h2>

<p>So with everything in consideration what are my chances in transferring as a Fall 2013 student? </p>

<p>I really want to get in, I love their business program, so please chance me and please advise me!</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>I don’t really know much about the criteria they evaluate for transfers but everything looks really solid right now! Your current GPA is amazing and your ranking in high school is really good. Good luck to you.</p>

<p>Hey I got your message. You have a very good chance - I think Emory really puts emphasis on the essay portion of the application.
I’m really not sure if Emory prefers junior transfers or sophomores but, either way, a 4.0 is awesome.
Since you are a sophomore transfer, they will still weigh your high school transcripts etc, and your high school record/activities seem very strong.
I think overall, if you keep up the good work, you have a strong chance of transferring to Emory.
Message me if you have any more specific questions about essays etc.</p>
