<p>I went to Emory's information session at my school as well as another information session that they had at MUS.</p>
<p>PLease tell me if you think I have a chance at getting into Emory. It is one of my top colleges.</p>
<p>tubbytubbz, first, let me offer my encouragement and my opinion that yes, you certainly have a chance at getting into Emory. Your ACT scores and your unweighted GPA probably equate to something that is just a smidgen below the Emory middle 50%. </p>
<p>While everyone worries about meeting the academic profile of an elite college, keep in mind that logically, 25% of admitted students fell at least a bit below the middle 50% in the academic profile (and the other 25% had a perfect 4.0 or at least a 3.9 and fabulous SAT or ACT scores). Furthermore, there are other factors considered. Thus, if you have a GPA that falls below the middle 50%, you can still gain admittance. If you are well-below, you can make up ground by having outstanding essays, recommendations extracurriculars, demonstrated interest and other factors.</p>
<p>Your volunteer work is fabulous. Your extracurriculars are okay. They would be better if you have some leadership positions within those extracurriculars. Looks like you have the demonstrated interest factor well covered, although if you could visit the Emory campus that might help. Since you are an under-represented minority, this could be the X factor in your favor. The Emory website lists the admissions counselors, one of whom serves as the representative for minority recruitment. I think that you should contact that counselor and express your interest Emory.</p>
<p>Like all of the other posters, I’m no expert, as I do not work in the admissions office. However, the only way you can guarantee not being accepted is by not applying. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
