<p>You ought to have a reasonable chance (the unweighted GPA is a little low, but the rigor and upward trend and some of the AP scores could help). I can’t say for sure. The adcoms at Emory claim that even though the applicant pool size is flat, that the pool is actually a bit stronger than before. Perhaps that means that you are among the “stronger than before” or that you are now “somewhat normal” (possible given all the scholars’ apps). You’re well in the interquartile range for test scores and have decent ECs (the fact that you are an athlete and do all of this additional stuff makes you quite interesting I suppose). Good luck to you! </p>
