<p>Emory and Georgia Tech are reaches. UGA is a match.</p>

<p>That is probably correct. I think your ACT score might be a little low for Emory’s typical student. You can do a search and find this information online. I’m not sure about GA TECH , but it has become very selective as well. </p>

<p>You are involved, but it looks like you added a lot of clubs for your senior year (real interests or just to help with applications?)</p>

<p>What do you actually want to do/major in? There are many good schools - I would focus on the best fit for you. Are you sure that a large campus is something you want? UGA is huge. A good school yes, but you will have to work hard at meeting people, forming friendships, etc… and things like internships or research opportunities are very competitive (few openings for many students). You might consider a smaller school with a great reputation where you can be a big fish (and do great things) in a small pond. Your scores are very good for the right place. </p>

<p>In anycase, apply to all three and good luck. You might be surprised.</p>

<p>UGA could be a reach. How many APs do you have? Your math ACT is good for Tech, they don’t care AS much about the english, but they care.</p>

<p>It’s always better to apply early action especially for UGA. They will probably defer you, but at least you will be on their radar.</p>

<p>Emory likes demonstrated interest, but your grades and ACT are low for them.</p>

<p>Possibly in at UGA, make sure to apply EA. Georgia Tech and Emory are reaches, with Emory being a high reach. Georgia Tech might be possible with your math scores, if you raise them a bit and apply ED.</p>
