<p>To the original poster, with respect:</p>

<p>I know you are aware that we can see a list of your other posts, and that Emory *greatly values demonstrated interest. If you truly want to go to Emory, I hope you show the admissions office a greater interest than you showed us with your copied and pasted “chance me” thread.</p>

<p>You’re a match.</p>

<p>Your drastic change in SAT scores in a month shows how dumb the test is.</p>

<p>like everyone else has said, you’re a match. don’t worry too much about your freshman grades. i was somewhat in the same boat and the admissions people told me that as long as i had an upward trend i would be fine (which it appears you have) and i got in :)</p>

<p>Okay thanks for your responses everybody. If I apply Early Decision to Emory, then how would that affect my chances?</p>
