Chance me for Emory!

<p>Hey, if you could just chance me real quick for Emory, I'd really appreciate that. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Real quick here are some shortshortSHORT stats
gpa: 3.66 (seems low but my school is a very prestigious, college prep school. also, we don't rank)
act: 32</p>

<p>basic ec's: volunteer humane society, president of youth group, volunteer at hospital, work as a sacker at grocery store, worked as waitress, played club soccer for about 7 years, drama club at my school, attended Vanderbilt Summer Academy for Talented Youth at Vanderbilt University for 4 years (college classes taught by grad professors)</p>

<p>ummmm, yes so if you could chance me that'd be great</p>

<p>Also, I know they care a lot about demonstrated interest - I'm visiting in November, also had other contacts with admissions, think that should help</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance! =)</p>

<p>my son is applying too</p>

<p>you are in the ballpark, but as I am sure you know, everyone applying will have very similar stats.</p>

<p>you might want to take the ACT again, and try to get it up to a 32 or a 33.</p>

<p>my son raised his score from a 31 to a 34, with zero studying, so mere familiarity with the exam may help.</p>

<p>I got a 32 the first time…so…but I am retaking it in september, hoping for 34. Thanks though :slight_smile:
Anyone else?</p>

<p>I think your biggest hook is that you have a good academic record (from what I can tell) and work history. This work/school balance isn’t something everyone has. Overall, you seem well-rounded.</p>

<p>Your ACT score is on track for Emory. If you can get higher, then kudos. </p>

<p>I’m also looking into Emory. Academically, I think we’re in the same ballpark. So I would say our chances are similar. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks, leftbrain! That’s good to hear. I’m very interested in Emory and was somewhat stressed about admission. :)</p>
