im in the same boat as you, and I think that you should be more than fine. The only thing that I can really say to improve would be the test scores, but even then they are decent.

Test scores are a little bit low and maybe some more leadership positions would have been more nice but I think you have a decent/average shot ED.

The championships for your equestarian activities are really cool but you’re applying as pre med like most applicants are which might hurt you a tiny bit.

If you write your essays well I think you have a decent shot. You seem like a typical Emory ED admit
