Chances at Emory??

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello!
I'm looking at going into Business/Economics and think Emory would be a good fit for me due to it's location in Atlanta and all that I've read about the academic and social environments at the school. However, I'm a bit concerned about if I could actually get in due to their 26% acceptance rate.... I'm a rising senior so these are pretty much the stats that will be on my application. I think my recommendations will be good and I've already started on my essays so hopefully they turn out well.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.94 W
3.67 UW
{Freshman year didn't go so well for me (3.9 1st semester, 3.4 2ed semester) but my grades have risen from there. This past semester I got a 3.75 UW with 3 AP's. So there's definitely an upward grade trend}</p>

<p>ACT: 32
-English: 33
-Math: 28 (retaking in September specifically to improve math score)
-Reading: 34
-Science: 31
-Writing: 9</p>

<p>SAT I:
Comp: 2000
-CR:700
-Writing: 650
-Math: 650</p>

<p>AP Courses: AP World (3), AP US History (5), AP English 11 (5), AP Physics B</p>

<p>I’m registered to be taking AP Stats, AP European History, AP French, AP English 12, AP Government, and AP Econ next year.</p>

<p>Honors Courses: Honors Algebra 1, Honors Geometry, Honors Algebra II, Honors English 9</p>

<p>EC's:
3 year Varsity Soccer (1st team all-state academics, ranked 7th nationally, 2x State Champion)
3 Years on state ODP (Olympic development program) Travelling team
10+ years soccer outside school (5x state champions, 3x regional quarter finalists)
2 Years Track
(no, I do not want to pursue college athletics)</p>

<p>Girls State Delegate

<p>National Honor Society Elected Board Member (lettered)

<p>Also, I am working on starting a Mock Trial team at my school for next year, so hopefully that works out...</p>

<p>90ish hours of community service</p>

<p>Any feedback is appreciated! Thank you!</p>

<p>Also, if anyone knows good undergrad business programs comparable to Emory's, that'd be great!</p>

<p>See, if you were a recruited athlete i’d say you’d most likely get in. But since you’re not pursuing college athletics, your chances are lower but still good. Your unweighted is kind of low but you can’t do anything about that now… Retake the ACT in september and see if you can get it a little higher to make up for a lower GPA. But I would say Emory would be a Low Reach/High Match for you. Good luck! :slight_smile: Chance me back please. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1663195-chance-me-please-for-these-schools-uc-s-others.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1663195-chance-me-please-for-these-schools-uc-s-others.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
