<p>GPA could hurt, otherwise high match-low reach <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/622129-read-all-harvard-applicants-might-give-you-hope.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/622129-read-all-harvard-applicants-might-give-you-hope.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>im in same boat for ED II but my SATs r lower</p>

<p>I say 90% in. </p>

<p>Reasons:</p>

<p>IB! I know Emory likes IB kids</p>

<p>ED!</p>

<p>ECs are amazing (imo)! Sports is a HUGE plus. If you want to continue swimming, contact the Emory Swim coach for brownie points.</p>

<p>GPA is low, but it's IB. As an IB student, I think you still have a chance :)</p>

<p>High match at Emory, because of ED, athletic accomplishment, good EC's, and your somewhat low GPA is offset by the fact that you took the hardest course load at your school.</p>

<p>Chance me please! <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/621725-took-risk-blew-any-hope-left.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/621725-took-risk-blew-any-hope-left.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>should be in...chance me back!!!</p>

12

<p>oh btw my GPA is now 3.51 bc i had a lot of improvement first semester senior year. anyone else?</p>

13

<p>Did you show interest in the school? Like emailing them, requesting info, etc? That's important to Emory, with your stats you should be ok (your uw is a little low), but the level of interest is what puts you over the top.</p>
