<p>Wow...your hooks really are catchy!! I think those will really help you out. Don't forget to really work hard on the essay though. But since you have "connections" I think ED would be a good idea. Sorry I wasn't that much of a help.</p>

<p>You will probably get into Emory ED (75% chance). Georgetown RD is questionable (more difficult to get into than Emory), other ones you are in.</p>

<p>Add more reaches if you don't get into Emory (how about Vanderbilt, U Michigan) ?</p>
