<p>Hey! Okay, so I'm applying to colleges right now. I'm a senior in a competitive high school in South Florida. I was just wondering if you guys think I have a decent chance of getting into Emory or Oxford at Emory. I'm early decisioning both.</p>
<p>Grades: 5 C's on my transcripts, most from freshman year. everything else is an A or B
Extracurriculars: 300+ service hours, volleyball team, Free The Children (club), Birthday Wish secretary (club), graduating with pre-law program and will complete a semester of internship starting January 2014
Major: Business/Law
ACT: 28 (yeah I know it's low, I retook it and got the same exact score, I MAY be retaking it in December, but since I'm apply ED they won't see my December score anyways)
Letters of Rec: I don't know how they are because out school doesn't allow us to read them</p>
<p>Do you think I have a decent chance at getting in? I know Emory is a stretch, but what about Oxford? Are my chances better because I'm applying early decision? Also, I qualify as Asian (I'm Bengali) but I didn't fill out ethnicity on common app because my grades and my scores are not as strong as many of the Asian kids in my school, so will that work against or with me? I also attended a summer information session about Emory, attended the college visit at my high school, and have exchanged emails with the South Florida Emory representative. My cousin graduated from the Emory a couple years ago, does that help? Also, my counselor told me I qualify as first generation, so will that do anything for me?</p>
<p>I really don't care which school I get into, I just want to get into one because it's the same thing (to me.) But yeah, it's my dream school. Do you guys think I have a chance at getting in? </p>
<p>******Note: I already posted this once but one person replied and the entire thread closed? I couldn't reply so I remade another post. How can I make it so I can reply to people's comments and so the thread doesn't close after one person's comment?</p>
