<p>thanks guys...itll also be really helpful if you guys list your scores to see how i compare ESPECIALLY EMORY ALUMNI, Undergrads, Prospectives, and maybe even Admission!!!!</p>

<p>if your connected to Emory give a good word to Emory for me!</p>

<p>also is there an advantage of one sitting sat test over a combined sat score? meaning if i get 2100 in one sitting…would that be an advantage over 2100 combined sat score?</p>

3

<p>Refer to the Class Profile of the recently admitted class, and make sure your essays articulate why EMORY is right for you, and not just any ordinary school. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Also, realize that grades and test scores aren’t everything! You don’t need the ‘total package.’ If you can show Emory why you’re special, I think that’s what sets you apart. Obviously it’s important to have challenged yourself in high school with difficult classes and be a part of activities you enjoy. Good luck!</p>

<p>thanks!!! yeah im trying to do that with my essays…so far i did the common app essay…i just need to do the supp…</p>

<p>can anyone proof read it for me?</p>

<p>I don’t think Emory rejects people with perfect SATs. They’re not Harvard or anything. Plus they need people with high scores to make their admission statistics look good and remain a top 20 school. The number of applications has dropped for the past two years but the SAT scores of the incoming classes have gone up. So I would say they emphasize SAT and GPA a lot.</p>

<p>No Emory have rejected perfect SATs before…just because one has a perfect SAT doesnt mean that he is a perfect student or one that Emory looks for…</p>

<p>Also Emory is not Harvard, nor does it need to be…Emory is emory</p>

<p>thats how i look at things…lol</p>

<p>Are you applying early decision II or regular?</p>

10

<p>I applied for ED1…im so nervous!</p>

<p>Dude I’m a current Emory student, and judging from your stats, you should get in. I wasn’t going to chime in, but when I saw that you were so anxious, I just had to tell you your chances. When you apply early decision, especially at Emory, it shows great intent. This is a critical factor for Emory in their admission process. You have solid extracurricular activities and a diverse perspective to add judging from your background (they really care about this). I believe you should find out your decision really soon!</p>

<p>thank you lefty!!!</p>

<p>im really glad that you responded…man im getting little sleep bc im so worried!
Your statements give me hope!!! </p>

<p>I will thank you first after i receive my decision!</p>
