<p>Added it to the post. Sorry.</p>

<p>SAT/ACT breakdown would be helpful...how were your essays? recs? do you have any leadership positions?</p>

5

<p>Essays and Recs were both very good. I will get the SAT/ACT breakdowns in a bit. Have some things to do. </p>

<p>I was VP for two years and President of the Debate team and Key Club (2 years each)</p>

<p>good chances id say</p>

<p>really good chances, but i hope you didn't put that you were in the young democrats and young republicans on your app, it just doesn't make sense</p>

<p>For almost all elite colleges, show your interest is more important than GPA and test scores. If you can convince whoever reads your application that you really would like to go to Emory, then you should get in.</p>

<p>I think you have a really good chance-- and I kinda like the fact that you were in both young dems and young republicans-- show's that you're not one-sided and can see different perspectives of life.</p>

<p>Just wondering...how can you be in both clubs...they are sort of opposites?</p>
