<p>"you'll definitely get into Emory, it's not as hard as people are making it out to be."</p>
<p>I guess that's kind of you, but you are getting his hopes up. You should actually look up Emory's stats before you make statements like that.</p>
<p>ahaha well, i think ive heard everything on this board now...</p>
<p>not quite sure who to believe at this point</p>
<p>Doogie, it's not about who on CC to believe. Look at the numbers for the schools you want. If you're not over the 50% ask yourself if you have something they will really want. It's not so hard to figure out chances.</p>
<p>so why r u on CC if its so easy?</p>
<p>i got a 2200 on the new one (800m, 710v, 690w) and my sister got a 1420 on the old one. </p>
<p>somewhere inbetween there is emory's average</p>
<p>ok doogie, don't antagonize other posters who are trying to help. Zagat isn't even a college applicant, so that snide little remark was not only rude but off the mark. </p>
<p>Whoops, actually I miscalculated your GPA the first time I looked at your post, thought it was a 1400s score lol. Well, at this point the scores are really the main thing holding you back. It really doesn't matter if you went to a competitive school, that only explains the GPA (which isn't all that bad anyways). Of course, the SAT isn't going to sink you either, my friend had a 1230 with slightly weaker ECs and still got in.</p>
<p>Asterstar, can I join Zagat in implying you don't have a clue what you're talking about?</p>
<p>i dont? i barely said anything</p>
<p>I know many people who got into Emory and their stats/circumstances. I'm sorry to say this, but it's a big reach for you.</p>
<p>my sister, as i previously mentioned (however i forgot to tell you she goes to emory) wasnt that smart BUT she was very involved. and i think breaking 1350 would dramatically increase your chances. i would still definitely apply to the school. its beautiful</p>
<p>lol, ok why don't I have a clue as to what I'm talking about? Please explain. </p>
<p>The guy has strong ECs. His SAT is low...and I do apologize, sometimes I skim over these chances threads and for some reason I got dyslexic and thought the 2000+ was his actual SAT, not current. </p>
<p>I still believe his chances are very strong. It's true that the average SAT for Emory is higher, but they do admit around 35-40% of applicants. Also consider their yield rate...it's lower than 15%, which means that many of the higher-scoring kids are probably using Emory as a match/safety school. And his ECs are strong...</p>
<p>I'd say you have a 30-45% chance.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, if you can, show interest in the university. Visit there sometime if you can. That will boost your chances a good bit.</p>
<p>i live in NY bah! Lol, i gto that DVD though</p>
