<p>It really helps being an URM trust me. Make sure you work really hard to get some more A’s. I’d send in both ACT and SAT scores, mine weren’t strong at all but like you I’m an URM. Be sure to go to Emory activities, they really like to see that applicants are honestly interested in going there. Emory is all about diversity and volunteering/giving back to the community so be sure to emphasize your leadership positions and any community service you may have.</p>
