<p>I kinda have to disagree with the idea of limiting the brag sheet because I set mine exactly like the one in Katharine Cohen's book-3 pages to be exact- and got into all the schools I applied to which were only umich and emory but still great schools, nonetheless. On top of that, my stats weren't that amazing, i was in the top 12%, 3.65gpa, 1910 SAT, 700 SATmathIIC, 730mathIC, o and I'm asian which, in terms of admissions these days, is comparable to being white(no offense!). I did anything to get and if that meant bragging the hell out on my BRAG sheet then I was gonna do it...oh and if you go to one of emory's admissions conferences like I did they'll tell you not to hold anything back on the brag sheet. </p>

<p>One more thing: Katharine Cohen's book Hard Rock Apps is the single best book I could've picked up in preparing for college admissions.</p>

<p>As a URM with a great selection of courses and awards, even with average SATs, I say you have a very good chance. URM status at Emory is very important; your standing within your class is impressive. Congratulations. </p>

<p>Good Luck.</p>

<p>P.S. One page max on any resume. Three is overkill and lessens the actual significance of your achievements.</p>
