<p>I know my GPA sucks, but im counting on the trend up and everything else. Im thinking about applying ED to Emory, what do you think my chances are?</p>

<p>quite good, unless you butcher essays and recs. match i would say</p>

<p>The fact that you're from MD, white, and Jewish, will work against you. And your GPA is below average, but with your other stats and ECs you stand a chance, especially for ED.</p>
