Princeton (I applied here for fun, I know I'm not getting in)
Boston University
Tufts University

<p>ECs: my resume isn't stacked with loads of commitments, but I have done a few things that have required alot of time and work</p>

<p>Tennis - was ranked top 75 in my state during my sophomore year, I received 4 varsity letters for tennis at my school.</p>

<p>Work - I've worked retail for the past year and a half at about an average of fifteen hours a week</p>

<p>Four year inductee into Latin Honor Society
S.M.I.L.E for children volunteer

<p>hmm... im not sure if my school does the whole weighted thing, can someone explain it to me?</p>

<p>i mean, that's the GPA that showed up on my cumulative transcript.. however I must mention that my school gives a 1 quantum bump (like if you have a B+, you get bumped to the next highest grade which would be an A-) for honor and AP classes.</p>

<p>hmmmmm..........</p>

<p>At Emory i'd say you have a pretty decent chance. Even though your GPA is a bit low, your other accomplishments may override it.</p>
