Colleges and Universities A-Z Emory University
1

<p>school of H&SS....</p>

<p>SAT Verbal: 660
SAT Math: 730
SAT Writing: 760
SAT Total: 2150
SAT II: Chinese:770, Math2:670, USHistory:670
ACT: N/A
AP/IB taken/scores: the special program i'm in makes it really unrealistic to take AP courses until junior year(due to special curriculum that we must go by): Junior: AP US History(4), AP AB Calculus(4), Senior: US Government, Biology, Environmental Science, English Language, Economics, Statistics
GPA weighted: 4.49
GPA unweighted: 3.69
Rank or % estimate: unranked class</p>

<p>Subjective:
Essays: average...maybe good?...but lets just be safe and assume that my essays will in no way effect my chances for admissions(positive or negative) or be a hook....
Teacher Recs: pretty good
Counselor Rec: pretty good
Hook (if any): i have no clue what constitutes as an actual hook nowadays since everyone has a billion different extracurriculars..but I was given an award for leadership by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation for my work at the Youth Conservation Corps...i'm a pretty good violin player(All-state level) and will definitely pursue in college...sending in a tape...maybe help??</p>

<p>Location/Person:
State or Country: Virginia
School Type: public magnet school (takes about 80-90 kids from around the county)
Ethnicity: Asian(Chinese)....probably the breaker...lol<<<..since most colleges are probably so sick and tired every asian applicant getting 2100+ on their SAT's...
Gender: m
Legacy Yes/No: no
Recruited Yes/No: no
Important ECs: a bunch of stuff...focuses on music, debate/model un and community service....few leadership positions..not really feel like listing them all...and none of them are hook-worthy... so just go ahead and assume that I have some pretty good extracurricular activities..but none of them hook material...</p>

<p>Other Factors: I go to this specialty school that supposedly colleges like(mostly instate schools)...very rigorous course load...very competitive...my grades have had an upward trend...this year..with my loaded schedule...im getting straight 6 A/A+'s and 1 B+(in AP bio)..which can only help..so give me an idea of where i stand....i understand that college admissions is an inexact science...</p>

<p>As long as you didn't do anything stupid in your essays, I'd say you have a very good shot.</p>

3

<p>wut school do u go 2? i live in VA too....im an asian female lol...
i think u have really good chances... u should aim higher(in my opinion)</p>

4

<p>Taking his SAT scores and GPA into account, I'm not sure why you'd say aim higher. He'd be more or less average for an admitted student</p>

5

<p>yea...anything higher is not realistic with a 3.69 uw GPA...even with pretty decent sat 1 scores...cause those kids have 2250's and 4.0's...its a tough world we live in..lol</p>
