Decent ECs for Emory?

<p>Hey guys, </p>

<p>I have some interest in Emory University but I'm not really sure if my ECs are up to par with its standards. If anyone could give me some constructive criticism regarding the strengths and weaknesses of my ECs it would be greatly appreciated. Sorry its really long and wordy but it was meant for my guidance counselor to read as well...</p>

<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>
