Chance to Emory

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi guys, </p>

<p>I'm an entering college freshman.</p>

<p>I graduated high school with a unweighted GPA of 3.67 and a weighted GPA of 3.81. When I graduated, I was in the top 10% and I was rank #15 of of 187.</p>

<p>I made a 26 on the ACT and I didn't take the SAT. I chose to go to a community college(largest in the state) because I was given a full ride there. </p>

<hr>

<p>Here is a list of the things I did in High School:</p>

<p>9th Grade: 1st place in the regional science fair and 4th place in the state science fair. President of the Science Club. About 60 hours of Peer Tutoring; about 28 hours of Soup Kitchen.</p>

<p>10th Grade: President of the Public Speaking Team. About 60 hours of Peer Tutoring; about 28 hours of Soup Kitchen.</p>

<p>11th grade: About 100 hours of Peer Tutoring; about 28 hours of Soup Kitchen. </p>

<p>12th Grade: 1st place in the School Science Fair. 1st place in the DECA Regional competition and 2nd place in the DECA State Competition.
Highest average in Pre-calculus, AP Biology, AP Macro-economics and Fundamentals of Art. Outstanding effort in AP English.
Vice President of DECA and Treasurer of Spanish Club. I was ranked as a Corporal in JROTC.
About 40 hours of Peer Tutoring, and 10 hours of Community Service. (JROTC)</p>

<p>What are my chances as of right now? </p>

<p>Is there anything I should be doing in college besides maintaining a 4.0 GPA?</p>

<p>What extra curricular activities should I join? Here is a list of the activities the CC offers:
Broadcasting Club, Campus Ministries, Drama Club, Photo Club, Psychology Club, SGA</p>

<p>Also, should I try transferring after 1 year of CC (Fall 2013)? I can complete 64 hours and receive an AS degree by the Fall of 2013. (I would have to go to college in the Summer as well)</p>

<p>Try to get into Phi Beta Kappa if your school has it</p>

<p>Thanks! But I’m going to be a college freshman. Can I apply to Phi Beta Kappa as a college freshman? </p>

<p>I plan to transfer after freshman year, so I hope to be in Emory as a Sophomore. </p>

<p>Any other suggestions?</p>

<p>Ok dude. Emory is a really competitive school. An ACT of 26 won’t cut it.
And your GPA is a little low. Do you think you could take it again in Sept.?</p>

<p>Oh I’m sorry! I’ve posted this question in different threads, but I forgot to mention here that I definitely plan to either take the SAT or retake the ACT. </p>

<p>I will be starting college in 2 weeks so any advice as to what extra curricular activities I should join there?
The options are listed in the first post. </p>

<p>I know my HS GPA is low. But I have a good reason! I was in India for 9th, 10th and 11th grades. I had to take two languages I had no prior exposure to! So I made 2 B’s and 2 D’s in those subjects. Every other subject on my transcript is an A. </p>

<p>Suppose I make it to the interview, do you think Emory will consider that?</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply though!</p>

10

<p>That’s better. actually that’s a bonus. You have outside experience that you could show off to the admissions people.</p>

11

<p>Lol thanks! I never thought that I could use that as a bonus! Where do I mention that, in the interview?</p>

<p>Also can u suggest the extra curriculars I should join, considering that I want to major in accounting and finance? </p>

<p>By the way, I have no clue what the SAT Subject Tests are about. Can you tell me whether I have to take them or not if I take the SAT? OR do you think I should just take the ACT again?</p>

<p>The problem is that I have already taken the ACT 3 times (made 26) but I haven’t sent a single score to Emory. </p>

<p>Will they ask me how many times I took the ACT when I submit the score I want?</p>

12

<p>I don’t think you have a very good chance at Emory…they look at your SAT/ACT as a transfer student also so you should try taking those again.</p>

13

<p>Again, I will be retaking the ACT/taking the SAT so no worries there.</p>

<p>Besides that, what are my chances of getting into Emory if I maintain a 4.0 in CC (which will only be for a year, after that I transfer)</p>
