<p>What are my chances and what needs the most improving?</p>

<p>lol, your chances are reallllllly good</p>

<p>my creds aren't close to that, and I got in. Maybe work on your ECs?</p>

<p>i think you have a really great shot also. the only thing you could do is to show a bit more focus in your ec's. they don't show a particular passion. maybe you could make this more clear in your essays. also, try to visit if you can. you could also consider emory scholars if you want to try for some merit money.</p>

<p>You have a very good chance.</p>

<p>As long as you show interest and write decent essays you're going to get accepted I think.</p>

<p>Of course, to be accepted one must first apply. Which, in light of the number of forums you posted in, might not happen.</p>

<p>Ya, I'm trying to determine which ones to apply to through these chances forums. BTW, thanks for the responses, keep them coming.</p>
