Emory Goizueta Scholars Info/Chances

<p>I'm a rising senior who's interested in business, and I heard about this program. From what I've read you need superior academic stats to get in and you need to show passion for business. I don't consider my stats superior by any means, but I wanted to know what stats are needed to be competitive for this prestigious scholarship, if mine are subpar or competitive, and any other information about the scholarship?
Stats- GPA 94.4 SAT I: cr/m/w: 710/770/800 SAT II: mathII/bio/us: 760/730/730
APs: Bio-5, US-5, Lang-5, Euro-5, Micro/Macroeconomics-4s
Taking ACT in September (aiming for 35+), SAT II math and SAT Lit in Oct.
EC's: DECA Regional President, Varsity Tennis Captain, Model UN Chair/Officer, Mock Trial Captain, Business Marketing Honors Society

<p>Anyone…please?</p>

<p>You are DEFINITELY competitive enough with what you have right now. It all comes to your essay and recommendations. Be sure to secure that nomination from your counselor.</p>

<p>Really? Do you know the average stats of kids applying for this? Also does your school have to be a “nominating school” to nominate you for this (like it is for UVA Jefferson scholars) or can you get nominated from any school?</p>

<p>It would really help to know/if you had a class rank and where you are from? are u a URM? the only people I know that have won this scholarship have been at the tippy top of their class, with higher SAT/ACT’s…</p>

<p>fwiw, my daughter had similar stats and EC’s and did not get Goizueta and was waitlisted for RD and a white female from NJ in 2008…the person we know who got it was ranked #1 in his HS class and had over 1500 m/v SAT…</p>

<p>maybe other Goizueta winners can post results…it’s a very small number of winners every year so not that visible on CC</p>

<p>and a reminder…there are no semi-finalists for the Goizueta Scholarship (unlike Emory Scholars)</p>

<p>My school doesn’t rank but I know that I’m at least in the top 10%. I am not a URM, I’m Indian which I guess makes me a ORM. I know my SAT isn’t that high, but I’m aiming for a 35+ on the ACT I’m taking next month (which is hard to get but I think I can do it). Would getting a 35 or 36 ACT help my chances for the scholarship?</p>

<p>Your daughter had close to a 2300 SAT and she was waitlisted at Emory? Wow that scares me…I though my SAT score would only hurt me at the ivys/top 10</p>

<p>So there is an Emory Scholars program as well…does anyone know more about that program too?</p>
