<p>Emory is almost definite. I would try for the Emory Scholars Program if I were you; you’d probably make it.</p>

<p>Reformat the original post to make it readable. </p>
<p>@cdiss- How is this almost a definite? He would be in the bottom quarter of students with his TARGET scores… Do you know anything at all about Emory? I’d give a 20% chance.</p>
<p>Agreed with Nihility. Scores and rank are below Emory’s averages. Decent shot because of URM but not great.</p>
<p>URM helps less and less. This year I’m pretty sure its impact will be almost negligible.</p>
