<p>Regarding Emory, it's really difficult to evaluate more precisely than to say it's a coin flip for you. Your profile has a "reachy" feel to it because your GPA is slightly below average (almost half of the enrolled freshmen at Emory come in with 3.75+ nonweighted GPA). On the other hand, your SAT is slightly above average, and your ACT score is about average. The Emory Admissions Office will look closely at your relative academic rigor (did you challenge yourself within the context of what is available at your H.S.?), including your senior-year courseload. Evaluation of your EC's and your admissions essay become important but somewhat subjectively-judged factors in the process. Bottom line is that nobody can tell you the decision outcome at this point -- you fall in that range between "possible" and "somewhat likely". Be sure that you get good recommendations, write some killer essays and demonstrate interest in Emory. Then apply and wish for the best!</p>
