<p>any opinions guys? thanks</p>

<p>I think your biggest obstacle to admittance would be your SAT scores. Grades, ECs, and rank seem okay, but you should probably try and retake the tests.</p>

4

<p>Yea you seem to have good ECs, but you def need to get that test score up. Maybe try the ACT. A 1350 would still be on the lower end I think--I don't know the exact numbers though.</p>

<p>Everything looks good except for your GPA. A solid 1400 is really a nice score for Emory. 1350 might be on the low side, especially being Asian. Retake the test, and consider getting a SAT tutor or taking a class.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

6

<p>you mean the SAT dell? and yes I am just hoping for a 1400 that would be really great! Also would it be too late to try the ACT since I plan on trying to apply for ED? thanks</p>

7

<p>Haha sorry, I mean SAT. If you had a 1400 GPA, well that'd be a different story!</p>

8

<p>One more question guys: Would it be better to wait for ED2 than ED1 because I am registered to take the October SAT and say if it is still not what I want which would you guys recommend applying for? Then I would have the Nov. and Dec. Sat to make a better score... Also what is the average time that I would know the if I were admitted or not? A month or two?</p>
