Chances of getting into Emerson?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Okay, so I'm awaiting my decision letter but I'm starting to get antsy about whether I'll get into Emerson...I was deferred in December and my letter should be here by the end of the month, but could anyone tell me what my chances are for getting accepted? I'm applying for the journalism program.</p>

<p>Here's my stats:</p>

<p>3.48 GPA
Decent SAT scores, in the low 1700s.
All honors courses throughout high school, with the exception of some electives.
2 AP courses, getting an A in my AP English, didn't do too hot in AP History. I was in the C/D range.
Getting all A's and B's right now.
Took a math course earlier this year, got 2 C's and switched out...would that hurt? I have no math or science courses...</p>

<p>Student Council Member (4 yrs)
Class President (2 yrs)
StuCo Executive Board President (1 yr)
School Newspaper Editor/Contributor (4 yrs)
National Honor Society Member (2 yrs) This also requires a lot of community service, which I cited.
Babysitter for nearly 5 years.
Not currently working.</p>

<p>After being deferred, I sent Emerson a package of a 10 page paper that I aced in AP English, 2 letters about myself and my goals, newspaper articles I've written, and a DVD of my work on my school's broadcasted news show. I'm hoping that's enough to make them think twice before rejecting me, but does anyone have any other thoughts? Do you think it'll do?</p>

<p>realistically your grades and sat scores aren’t that great but your extracurriculars are fabulous and by sending them all that stuff you’re showing that you really care. i think you should get in.</p>

<p>Thanks!
I’m working hard on my grades right now, I think my GPA should be up to at least a 3.5 by the end of this term.
I checked my SAT scores, got a 1750 to be exact. I’m also taking the English AP test, and I took the US History AP test last year. Think that’ll help?</p>
