<p>Hey everyone, so I've been a longtime lurker and want to know my chances for my dream school Emory. I'm planning on doing a major in Biology and applying ED.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.83 (I've had about 7 B's total but around 5 times as many A's if we're counting semester grades)</p>

<p>Rank: 17/200/ 8.5%</p>

<p>ACT: 34</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
School Volunteer Organization 10, 11, 12
Solar Car Team 11,12 (This EC consumes a large amount of time every week, it'd be akin to playing football)
Rotary Organization 11,12
NHS 11,12
Rec. Basketball 9,10,11 (Was heavily involved 9 and 10)</p>

<p>Leadership:
Treasurer of volunteer organization</p>

<p>Volunteering:
200 Hours through my local hospital</p>

<p>100 Hours through homeless shelter</p>

<p>I would say its a match for you; your GPA is on par with their average, and your ACT is in the 25th OR >25th percentile - what is important, especially with Emory, is that you have demonstrated interest in the school (visiting the school, going to admissions presentations that come to your school, getting on mailing lists, etc.). Your ECs are slightly weak and show evidence of “condensed involvement,” but I don’t think it will be too much of a hindrance for you. Show that you REALLY want to go there in your school specific essay, and your a very strong candidate. ED will help too. Good luck!</p>

<p>Would applying ED show my interest?</p>

<p>Would applying ED show my interest?</p>

<p>Since you’re binding yourself to the school, that would show interest.</p>

<p>idontjoke meant 75% i think. or top 25% just to be clear.</p>

<p>O yeah woops, I meant top 25%</p>

<p>I think If you applied ED you would have around a 75% chance of getting in if not more. Your stats are pretty much right on target, and I know lots of people in the admissions office: They do actually put heavy weight on expression of interest, so that should help. If it’s your number one school then go ahead and apply ED, it can only help you.</p>
