<p>I am in a bad situation with my financial aid. I'm currently a junior in high school, I have a sister who will be in college around the same time as me, and I plan on going to professional school. I don't qualify for FAFSA and I seriously doubt I'll recieve any kind of need-based aid from Emory (my first choice), even considering my 2 sisters' college tuitons. My parents simply told me they aren't paying for much of my college at all, so I have to get a good merit scholarship to wherever I choose to go. Please tell me what my chances are for Emory Scholars.</p>
<p>My stats:
GPA- 4.0 (on 4.0 grading scale)
SAT I- 1460 (math-770 verbal-690....but that was in december of my junior year and I am taking it again in June)
SAT II- none yet (hardly anyone takes it where I'm from, but I'm taking 2 in June)
ACT- 35
Rank- 1 out of 149
School- public high school in Louisiana (very good school, but doesn't have as many opportunities academically as I would have liked)</p>
<p>ethnicity: causasian</p>
