<p>Everything looks to be in the “Emory range,” I think your recommendations and essays will be the deciding factors. Overall I’d say 50-60%. If you showed genuine interest I would probably say + 80%.</p>

<p>Make sure your essay and Why Emory are good ones. YOu have a chance.</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback- I think my common app essay and “why emory” essay are fairly strong so hopefully I have a well-rounded application. Thanks again for the feedback.</p>
