<p>Thanks, @aluminum_boat & @bernie12 - very helpful! </p>
<p>@Bernie12, definitely appreciate the advice about asking students about professors. One of my D’s biggest concerns during this entire process has been going to a college that is basically “High School 2.0”, so she was utterly thrilled when she received a likely letter. It was as if a huge weight lifted off of her. She has a rigorous course load this year because they are the classes she’s been wanting to take since freshman year - not to pad her resume. </p>
<p>One thing she really likes about Emory is that, even though she has a direction in mind, she does not declare a major right away. She can choose courses and do some exploring, first. 
(She’s not a STEM kid, BTW.)</p>
<p>I may have some more questions later on. </p>
<p>Thanks, again! :)</p>
