<p>RenMan, I think you stand an excellent chance of being admitted through RD application. Your GPA is very strong; your SAT scores are excellent (top 25% of enrolled freshmen); and your class ranking is top 10% Your EC's do not stand out; however, you've shown some consistent devotion toward some of your EC endeavors, with several demonstrating a solid commitment. By highlighting your temple activities in one of your essays, it will reinforce this notion. Assuming that your GC and teacher(s) will offer strong recommendations, the only thing you need to do is to demonstrate interest to Emory by either scheduling an official visit, ordering their video through the website, and/or establishing communications with the Admissions Office. I think your chances are very, very solid. Good luck!</p>
