Your chances are pretty good. Your SAT is 20 points below the 25th percentile, but your UWGPA is above the 25th percentile. You have great ECs.

I want you to get in. Your mom is being mean. Good luck :smiley:

Thank you so much! Ugh my mom is keep telling me how I won’t get into Emory because of my crappy SAT score…it’s still bothering me, but I’m glad to meet someone supportive! :slight_smile:
