<p>What do you guys think my chances of acceptance and of recieving a scholarship are</p>

<p>Your test scores are good but your GPA is a little low, although you claim your school is difficult and you have challenged yourself. So I think all in all you have a good shot at admission.</p>

<p>Wow, the Goizeuta Scholars Program starts this year, eh? I don't know much about the program, but I presume it's as difficult to get into as the regular scholars program. In which case, I would say that this program may be a slight reach/ reach for you.</p>

<p>Areymass, I would say that you have a great chance.</p>

<p>You stand a great chance for admission with a SAT score (1480) that lies above the range for Emory this past year. Although your EC's are lackluster, if you get good recs and write great essays, you should be in without any problem. But if the Goizueta Scholars is as competitve as the Emory Scholars, I wouldn't get my hopes up. The competition is stiff.</p>
