Essay: I think I wrote a pretty good essay. My college counselor said it was pretty good. I related my EC's such as Lunar Research to my preferred major for both Commonapp essay and Supplement essay.
Recommendation Letter: I got it from AP Bio teacher and Pre-cal teacher.
I know my profile is not good compared to other average applicants for Emory but I really like this school and I want to go there.My school has pretty good application history with Emory and I'm the only one who applied to Emory ED1 in my school. Heres my school's application history with Emory.

<p>Do you think I have chance at getting into Emory at all? What other schools should I consider with this profile for Regular Decision?</p>

<p>You do have a chance but not a very good one.</p>

<p>@Wizard09‌ I really want to get into this school. I love its campus, students, and environment around the campus. I even dreamt about getting acceptance letter from Emory few days ago…</p>

<p>Wizard is wrong. You have a good chance; you might consider re-taking the SAT to raise your CR score. Good luck!</p>

5

<p>Zzzmmm is wrong! They are delusional.</p>

<p>Wizard and ZZZ…m could both be right. With your profile it is hard to predict. Since you are attending a school known for being rigorous, they likely will consider your GPA in context if they are familiar with your high school.I think there is also a possibility of being deferred. Sometimes a college will want to see how an applicant does senior year before admitting them. </p>

<p>I assume you have also applied to Emory at Oxford- which would give you a chance of transferring to Emory for the last two years. If you are female, applying to Agnes Scott would also be in the same area, and students at Agnes Scott can take some classes at Emory I think- check into this. </p>

<p>If you wish to stay in the south, Rhodes college is a bit less selective than Emory, but it may appeal to you as a LAC in a larger city, Memphis. </p>
