<p>I've shown my interest in every way humanly possible... I switched from RD to EDII for Emory and applied to Oxford RD as well. I signed up for the mailing list, I've contacted (email AND phone) the Office of Admission (I kinda stalk them), I've sent them letters explaining not only my test scores but why I switched to EDII, I have registered for another visit although I've already visited, etc., </p>
<p>Chances?! Also please note I retook the SAT as well, and if I get deferred I hope to sent my new SAT score to Emory.</p>
