SAT II 600 US History, 700 Math 2, took Chemistry
GPA ~3.9 weighted/3.7 uw (at my school you have to get a 90% to get an A- does Emory recalculate GPAs because if they did my GPA would be much higher)
Senior year 2 APs, 2 college courses at local Penn State campus
Took about 10 honors classes throughout high school.
ECs
2 years of school basketball, quit after my parents got divorced to get a job to help my mom out- I work 10-20 hours/week

PSU
Any other suggestions are more than welcome! I want to go for chem/bio possibly premed or prevet. Thanks!!!!!!</p>

<p>I applied to Emory ED1 and my stats look almost exactly like yours. I've been told by just about everyone that it's a "far reach" just going by the numbers, but there's a glimmer of hope, who knows. I find out sometime after Dec 15 and I'll let you know how it goes.</p>

<p>I don't know about U Rochester but I'd say Brandeis and PSU are good matches for you.</p>

<p>i think the fact that you work 10-20 hours a week says a lot about your character. that's a good thing! I think you have a good shot at Emory if you can write a good and interesting essay</p>
