<p>apply ED…without FA…good to go!!</p>

<p>RD more of a chance of waitlist…</p>

3

<p>we are low income. =(</p>

4

<p>Demographics may help you in that area…especially if you are asian…good luck!!</p>

5

<p>consider Vandy ED – it’s no loan.</p>

6

<p>I wouldn’t risk ED anywhere if you’re low income</p>

<p>Ahh, that’s where I disagree with other parents on cc. If a family has completed the finaid calculators properly, and the PROFILE efc is known, then applying to a no-loan school like Vandy (or Dartmouth) is a win – 100% grants (plus work study and/or summer earnings).</p>

<p>btw: Vandy is seeking more diversity.</p>

<p>I disagree with some others here- I think you have extremely good chances at Emory regular decision if you continue the upward trend in GPA. And great scores. Suggestions: visit and fill out the lobby card that says you visited, get a high GPA your senior year.</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance. I also came here in 8th grade and got out of ESL in 2 months. I had similar stats as yours, went to a nationally recognized school (top 30), and had good essays. The only difference is that I played a lot of sports (scholar athlete 2 years in a row), served as the captain&president of sports teams and clubs, and research publications. Good luck!</p>

<p>i don’t play sports, music instrument, choir, neither officer of the clubs…
and I have extremely low GPA, especially sophomore year, AAABBC+2honors……really bad i live in CA.</p>

<p>apply ED. I know soo many people that got in through ED.</p>

<p>yah, dude apply ed to vandy…and if you can’t afford the cost, just back out of it, they can’t MAKE you go if you can’t afford it…</p>
