<p>Full tuition anywhere would be ready to be paid for immediately. Does being hispanic help my chances THAT much, especially for Emory? I know I would most likely fall in the bottom 25% of Emory grade-wise, but do I still have a chance?</p>

<p>If your talking about the Oxford College of Emory, then you will get in. If your talking about Emory (main campus), it’s a reach. Your unweighted GPA and your ACT puts you at the bottom 25% of Emory grade wise and test wise. You need to raise your ACT score a few points and raise your GPA to around a 3.7. Also, if you need help in the English or reading section, I could give you some tips. I raised my English from a 24 to a 34.</p>

<p>The tips would be greatly appreciated. Anything to get this score into the 30’s.</p>

<p>And yes I was referring to Oxford College of Emory.</p>
