<p>I dont have alot of EC's because track & football plus the ones I have take up alot of my time, my rank is not 1 or 2 but I think its decent. Any feedback or advice would be great..Just trying to see if a brotha can get in..</p>

<p>I was also wondering how good Emorys financial aid packages are? Considering I will need some type of financial aid..</p>

<p>THANK YOU</p>

<p>Not quite sure how an U/W GPA can be a 4.4 (thought 4.0 was the highest) but you should definitely apply to the Emory Scholars Program if you are serious about the school. Applications are due earlier, but many scholarships are available and the ESP has many other benefits as well.</p>

<p>Tell your high school counselor that you want to be recommended as an Emory Scholar (they have to recommend you) - all paperwork MUST be in by Nov. 1 (counselor forms, your application, and Emory Scholar application). See Emory's website for details.</p>

<p>Emory is a safety for you. </p>

<p>If you apply for Emory Scholars, you'd have a really good shot at getting a full ride scholarship.</p>
