emory university & oxford college ed2, chance my pants

Happy New Year! I posted this same post but with a few minor updates on the colleges I’m applying to. I ed2’ed to both Emory University and Oxford College, and I would like to know what you think of my chances of being accepted! Any comment is greatly appreciated, and I hope you have a wonderful day :slight_smile:

I am currently a senior and am super worried about my chances for admission. I am getting the college admission heebie jeebies right now, and I would like your help in warding off the anxiousness.

I applied to Emory, Boston College, BU, UMich, Vanderbilt, NYU, Notre Dame, USC, Tufts, Northwestern, Georgia Tech, Cornell (IARD, bc I have some experience in that area), Scripps, Bates, Colby, Grinnell, UIUC, Carnegie Mellon, William and Mary, UChicago RD, Wellesley)

Major: Biology or Computer Science or Business (depends on the college)

SAT score: 1450 (superscored)

GPA: 91.56 unweighted, 95.58 weighted
Class size: 500
Rank: We don’t rank, but I’m guessing top 10%.

I will have taken 13 APs by the end of my senior year.

All of my other classes were Honors classes except for:

  • PE, Health, Intro to Art, Online USH

  • GIS (secretary and VP)
  • National Honor Society (11, 12)
  • Mu Alpha Theta (11, 12)
  • National English Honor Society (12)
  • Rho Kappa (11, 12)

Work experience:

  • Work at a local office for 4 to 5 hours a day (for 7 days/week)
  • Own a pet-care business (babysits pets for 2 to 6 weeks at a time, 24/7)
  • Tutor peers in my free time (2 hrs at a time 3 days/ week)
  • I also work for my neighbors when they need help with creating documents and stuff like that

  • Low income ($23,000/yr)
  • Single parent household
  • Passionate about lupus (mother suffers from it) and I have done small research on this disease
  • Asian female
  • Goes on business trips for job sometimes

I’m extremely worried about the regular decision round because my first semester senior grades aren’t looking too hot. I know I will end up with a C+ in AP Stat (teacher graded quite harshly this year) and a B in AP Calculus BC (teacher was also hard).

I was accepted to GSU, UAB, and LSU (and their Honors Colleges, too AND UPDATE: GOT SCHOLARSHIPS TO COVER FULL TUITION yay). I participated in the QuestBridge National College Match, but did not match. I was also deferred from UChicago EA.
