You have a strong chance of getting in. Emory really likes demonstrated interest, so if you visited the campus you are set.

@IndianSuperman Thank you so much for responding! Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to visit the campus, but I will be visiting over spring break. However, I have done plenty of research about Emory and have talked with current students.

You have really a really strong application with your transcript full of APs.
I too am applying to Emory, but I don’t have nearly as good of a AP list and GPA as yours.
I personally think you have a strong application. If there is anything holding you back, it probably would be your SATs but you have strong ACTs.

Would you mind reading my Emory App from my thread? And giving me your point of view?

@tolkien2828 did you get into Emory?

@tolkien2828

Out of curiosity, will you be competing athletically for Emory? Perhaps as a swimmer?

@BiffBrown I will not be competing athletically, but I may join aquatic club teams
