<p>I would say you have a good shot.
Reasons:
1) URM
2) 1400 SAT
3) Legacy
4) ED
5) Semi-rigorous classes
But your ECs need some improvement. Anything you love to do you could take advantage of?</p>

<p>buuuuuuuuump</p>

13

<p>What School Do You Go To? I Used To Live In Miami, Went To Coral Gables</p>

14

<p>I would be VERY surprised if you didn't get in. You may even want to look at some harder schools (Ivies). Just a suggestion...unless you really LOVE Emory.</p>

15

<p>you have an awesome shot.</p>

16

<p>I definietly am really happy to hear i have a shot! Do you guys go there? What does the campus feel like..especially with only 5000 undergrad? When i visited the school, it was during the summer, and classes were not in session. Any suggestions for application?</p>

17

<p>You will get into emory bro</p>

18

<p>anyone else??</p>

19

<p>You are in, although you're also very likely in RD too. You MIGHT want to aim higher, unless you really want Emory. I have spent alot of time at Emory - its absolutely beautiful and the academics are top notch - but be aware the students have a reputation of being rich, cliquey, and slightly cold-shouldered. The social scene revolves around bars in the highlands usually, frat parties, and house parties. There is plenty to do in that regard.</p>

20

<p>Which schools would you reccomend to "aim higher" for? I really like UPENN, but never thought i could get in. Your help is realllly appreciated...</p>

<p>PS...what makes me a strong candidate that you would reccomend me to shoot higher?</p>
