<p>Emory's average gpa is a 3.7-3.8 uw, so your gpa is a bit below average (what's your uw gpa?), and as you stated, your test scores are definitely subpar for Emory. You didn't mention your ec's anywhere. Ec's are going to play a huge role, especially for Emory, and especially when an applicant is lacking in another category.
I think you're pretty much right. Your chances aren't very high, but it's always worth a shot.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>Do you still have time to retake the SATs? If you could pull up your scores in reading and writing a hundred points each you would have a much much much better shot. It's def. possible-I got a 530 the first time I took the SAT (in Math) and then studied really hard and got a 610, followed by a 630. I had those scores rushed to Emory (and other schools).
Good Luck :)
