<p>PLEASE ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS - I was accepted into UCLA; a lot of people say that's an indication of a Berkeley rejection, as admissions at both schools coordinate answers. Is that true?</p>

<p>DEMONSTRATED INTEREST: A TON at Emory (important for them), UC Berkeley doesn't care</p>

<p>I have no idea about the UCLA/Berkely thing… i DO know that a guy at my school recently got into Emory with similar test scores, but around a 3.4 gpa and no real significant extracurriculars… however his family is very influential so he acknowledged that probably helped him out… That being said I think with your record and the diversity of languages spoken, you’re a shoe in for Emory</p>
