I can say that Emory is more sensitive to course rigor and the unweighted GPA so may actually like you going maxing out and going beyond HS offerings (though if admitted, I would honestly retake most of those courses at Emory…as in forfeit those credits because you can’t bring in but so many). A legacy with the same stats 2 years ago (like 3.5UW and 34 or 35 ACT) was waitlisted there unfortunately. Vanderbilt “may” consider you, but this girl was wait-listed there as well. All I can say is it is more stats sensitive than many of its peers. The others may care less and just get too distracted by the UW GPA.
