<p>I'd say you have a very good chance, considering your slightly above average ACT and ECs, not to mention the fact that you might be classified as a URM (Under-Represented Minority).</p>

<p>Just make sure your essays are pretty good, and if you took the writing section of the ACT, you might want to not mark Emory as a recipient for your SAT scores until you know how well you did. If you did well, pay the extra $10 or so and have them sent. It'd be worth it to control whether or not Emory gets your score. If you didn't take the ACT w/ writing or you plan on taking the SAT multiple times, you can't really use that. And BTW, Emory puts virtually no weight on SAT II scores.</p>

<p>You're not a shoo-in, but you're well on your way to getting accepted.</p>
