<p>well i think you have a pretty good chance, your SAT scores are above the lower median range for Emory University, according to collegeboard.com</p>

<p>You may want to try and get a 5 in your other AP subjects, because someone may have the same stats as you but a better AP score.
Try to get 700 in writing and Critical reading, i got 690 in CR as well and i’m taking it again. </p>

<p>Overall, you DO have a chance but you need to up your SAT scores sliightly. Then again, Emory has about 27% acceptance, so its not as bad as some of the top Ivy Leagues. </p>

<p>Your sports stats reallly help, so keep going at it… Have you gone to regional/national competitions? that would be usefull!
good luck! and read my stats too please!</p>
