<p>You might consider putting this in the Emory forum - you’ll probably get much better answers there.</p>

3

<p>Your SAT is a bit low for Emory, as is your GPA. A reach, but not a large one. If you keep up your senior grades, it’ll certainly help!</p>

4

<p>OP’s SAT is actually a little above the Emory median. Grades however are below, so it depends upon how well the adcom think it was justified in the essays.</p>
