<p>hmm… sat is a little low if you are doing RD. looking at the activity list above nothing really sticks out but if you write a very good essay you have a good chance. you should do ED2 to inc your chances and make sure to apply to oxford. you shouldn’t have problem getting into oxford. make sure to show lots of interest!! <---- that’s very very very important and will make you stick out.</p>

<p>like emory83 said</p>

<p>and ESSAY! I cannot stress how important this is!
and Teacher recommendations! GOOD EXCELLENT ONES! rule of thumb go with 2 anything over 2 is tedious…unless you have excellent 3. Dont go with 4 as that is the limit! I think.</p>

<p>SHOW INTEREST:
visit campus (HUGE)
order dvds
get Emory Alumni or current Emory students as friends!
Talk about the contributions you can make!</p>

<p>Hope it helps and hope you get accepted!</p>
