Found a billiard club at my old high school, which is also its first club ever.
Held a job as a travel agent at a travel office for less than a year. 14h/week
Currently work as a receptionist at a beauty shop</p>

<p>The lack of rigor of classes and EC is because my old high school did not offer any, both AP and EC. However, I am sure that the curriculum rigor in my was far superior than those APs that I have here. We did Physics, Chemistry, Math, Biology, history, Geology every year of high school. I came here about a year ago, and yes, I am not an English taker. I've been learning Eng for less than 2 years. I'm trying my best to get a 800 Math and maybe >550 CR this December.</p>

<p>I planned on applying to Emory and GA Tech.
What do you think my chance would be?
Any input is highly appreciated. And Pleassse, be realistic.</p>

<p>ur status is good...did u take any SAT II athough Emory doesn't require?
I think if u have any chance to take SAT one more, I wanna advise u to improve more score in CR section! </p>

<p>I hope u get in- good luck :)</p>

<p>Thank you very much for your input.
I did not take any SAT II and maybe I'm not planning doing so because it'd take times to familiarize with the tests. I honestly dont have free time at the moment. I'm trying my best to improve the CR reading section.
Are you attending Emory? If so, may I know about your stat when you got in (if you don't mind)?</p>

<p>Wow, your stats is more than good. No wonder why you got in. I'm sorta jealous. I wish I had been here 2 years ago and learned ENG sooner. Thank you for posting your stats.</p>

<p>Anyone could give a rough idea? :D</p>

<p>Actually I am an internationl student and I went to high school in America two years...My first language is not English and definately I lived almost whole life in other country...so you're fine!</p>

<p>I hope you get in!</p>

<p>I'm sorry, but we will not be able to accept you based on your abysmal SAT score</p>

<p>Love,</p>

<p>Emorybound</p>

<p>NOT!!!! bring the SAT to 2000s and you will get in according to my 99.9% proven formula</p>

<p>@mashinlro: hi mashimlro, are you Japanese or a fan of Japanese comics :D I'm just curious. By the way, what are you majoring at Emory? Is the academic challenging enough for you? Would you choose Emory if you could choose again? Thank you.</p>

<p>@emorybound: i personally believe there's so concrete formula for admission. but thank you anyway.</p>

<p>bump...
I know a chance thread wouldnt increase or decrease my chance but I just wanna hear the opinion from everyone</p>

<p>emorybound is my friend anyway...
Nope I'm not neither Zapanese nor Chinese...I'm Corean
I still like Emory; I'm planning to major in Bio...I think Emory is great school so i have no doubt to choose EMORY again-</p>
