<p>Any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>calm ya nerves man! I think you're fine. Don't worry about your verbal; everything else is so good.</p>

<p>I think that you have a good chance. If you improved your verbal, you could probably qualify for emory scholars</p>

<p>where in NJ are you from</p>

<p>I hope you get in because I have fairly similar stats to you.</p>

<p>WOW look at those activities. You look pretty good but if you can raise your Verbal up over 700 it can almost guarantee you a spot at Emory and maybe even Emory Scholars.</p>

<p>u need to relax man.....relax......now that you're under my control, SHUT UP</p>

<p>lagaan, I'm from bergen county and really really up near the border of new york. And, I'm also a senior, not a junior.</p>
