Chances (ridiculous, I know)

<p>Okay, despite the fact I have long since sent all my stuff to Emory and everything is out of my control, I would kind of like you guys' take on my chances.</p>

<p>SAT: 1350/1600, 2020/2400
GPA UW: 3.8<br>
GPA W: 4.25
Hispanic female
1st Gen
Rural school, uncompetitive
EC: mentoring at-risk kids, marching band, editor of the literary magazine, Academic Team, NHS
Good recs, okay essays</p>

<p>i'd say you have a pretty good chance, if not to get in, to be defered and then get in at a later time. i would say you have am 85% chance.</p>

<p>I think you have an excellent chance of gettig in. A big plus is that your hispanic, one of the few under represented minorities at colleges. You EC's an SAT score are competitive. good luck.</p>

<p>i think you have a good shot, i won't say 85%, but there is a good chance. Being a hispanic definitely helps a lot. But as you've probably noticed, this other hispanic (i think) was deferred from Tufts with a much higher stats than yours. So you know, you'll never know for sure. What is your class rank?</p>

<p>ah, I knew I was forgetting something.
It's approx. 20/350. Not really sure one either of those numbers, but that's a good estimation. I'm definitely in the top 10 percent.</p>

<p>okay. we'll although there are a lot of people applying from florida, i still think you've a good shot. Like usually colleges pick more whites and asians in ED and so they accepted more minorities to satisfy the "diversity."</p>

<p>in. decent sats+grades+URM.</p>

<p>I'd say you have a good chance. Your GPA and SAT scores aren't too bad, plus you're first generation and a minority.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the responses.
So...does anyone know when exactly we find out? Sometime in March?</p>

<p>April first.</p>

<p>early april</p>

<p>it will be available march 31 on OPUS. The admissions people said they liked the idea of releasing decisions on Saturday</p>

<p>Your scores seem pretty good.
I think it would depend on the time you spend on ur essays.
I heard the Why Emory? essay is pretty important.
Also if you show passion for something...have a hook.
Your ecs seem kinda weak though.</p>

<p>Your stats are pretty close to what mine were. I applied RD and was accepted (not deferred or anything), so as long as you did well on your essays and your recs are good, I think you have a pretty good chance. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>hispanic?? 1350??? yeah ok YOU'RE IN!!!!!!</p>

<p>so did you get in??</p>

<p>yes! I'm very happy, but still waiting on information regarding financial aid, which is unfortunately a deciding factor for me.</p>
