<p>Hey guys:
I've been slacking (grade wise) the past 2 years in highschool (freshman and sophomore), but with honors classes in my hands. There might not be many, but I've tried hard to get into them, as well as to add more honors to my schedule(Note: i didnt meet the grade requirements to even waiver in).</p>
<p>Thus, with my upcoming junior year in an extremely competitive highschool, I am left with NO ap classes junior years, but 2 honors classes. I am willing to up my grades this Junior and Senior year to show great improvement, and take 4 AP classes in my final year.</p>
<p>Do you think I can qualify for a a state college such as Emory w/ ED, given good ECs and RECs?</p>
<p>--
I know i lack ap classes, but i try to take the hardest classes that are available to me >_<
NOTE: no ap classes until senior year (preferably 4 to be taken)</p>
<p>Emory is a Private U, not a state college. What is your GPA, what are your scores, what is your home state, and what can your family afford?</p>
<p>Home State: Georgia
GPA: not sure atm
Family Afford: can afford up to $70k/year of tuition
Scores: haven’t done SAT/ACT</p>
<p>sorry if I’m short on info… there is a thing called Home Access Center(HAC) in our area, however I don’t have the specific code to my name, but I will when school starts once again</p>
<p>$70K/year means you can afford all the schools I know of. I know you’ll be able to find some schools you will like. Once you figure out your GPA look at the Supermatch engine on the left of this page.</p>
<p>Thanks, however I was wondering if it were possible to make it into schools like Emory with few AP classes?</p>
<p>I know most of the competitors have around 6+, but I’m most likely to end up with 4 APs max after Senior year</p>
<p>It really depends on how many you had available. Here is the last published Common Data Set I found for Emory <a href=“http://www.oirpe.emory.edu/institutional_research/Common%20Data%202010%202011.pdf”>http://www.oirpe.emory.edu/institutional_research/Common%20Data%202010%202011.pdf</a> (thank you Google). If you look at section C7 you’ll see rigor of classes is rated most important along with GPA, tests, essay, recs, ECs and character. They use a very holistic process so rigor isn’t more highly rated than a number of other things. I would think 4 vs. 6 isn’t a super high discriminator and you have many more areas in which you can make up ground.</p>
