<p>I am depressed because I don't think I will get in to Emory. I don't think I deserve emory. I didn't apply to ED1 because my SAT score was only 1650 then. Now I have 2010 superscored. I waited till I brought my score up so that I could have a chance at RD. I didn't apply to ED 2 because I wanted to retake SAT 1 again and score better and show them. I thought I would jump from 2010 to 2300 or something but after taking a few practice tests and seeing myself score lower and lower, I don't even think I am gonna do well on the Jan SAT. Oh! then I just wasted ED II. I know SAT score is not everything. I know it so well because my very very good friend got into a very very good school with almost the same SAT as mine. But you know, nothing else is so special about me. I have 3.7~8 uw of average GPA, in-school activities and in-school awards.
Tomorrow is the deadline and I still haven't submitted my stuff because I know my stats suck and I wanted to make the best out of my essays. Oh, but my why emory essay is pitiful.
I am very, very depressed. College is not everything but it would be very nice to spend 4 years at a college of my choice.</p>
<p>I’m sure others have said it before. You may not have a good chance of getting in, and that’s okay, but if you don’t even make the attempt to apply to Emory, then there’s certainly no doubt whatsoever of your chances at getting in. There’s no harm in trying.</p>
<p>You have to try! Go ahead and submit the application! Just be honest in your why Emory essay - it sounds like you have a real passion to attend the school and hopefully the admissions committee will recognize that aspect of your application. Also, your stats aren’t “bad” even though you may think they are. In my opinion, a very well done personal statement or a great teacher rec. could bring up any lost SAT points. You’ll regret not sending in the application, so submit it and hope for the best!</p>
<p>Cheer up, kiddo. :]</p>
<p>Tick tok…</p>
<p>You have emory as a reach/slight reach, not as an impossible.</p>
<p>you can always try to write to them and ask that they move your app to ED II</p>
<p>Give it a shot. As an international (and full pay?), you bring something else to the table. Good luck.</p>
<p>Look, there are plenty of success stories with no chapters about college. Putting all your eggs in one basket is not really a good idea in choosing Emory, dude. Well, I guess you could, but just don’t go picking up the broken eggs if you get rejected.</p>
<p>you have try, dont give up! :)</p>
<p>If you are truly depressed, please stop what you are doing and talk to someone who cares about you…a parent, sibling, friend, teacher, clergy, grandparent. You need some perspective on the college process. Wherever you go, you will do your best to find your way and be happy. If the fit is wrong, you can transfer. If you are not ready to go away, stay home for a year. Please talk to someone wise who will listen to you and will help guide you.</p>
<p>dude your SAT score is right in the interquartile range of emory’s, and so is your GPA…don’t worry, you stand a
pretty fair chance :D</p>
<p>Are you interested in Oxford for two years and then Emory?</p>
<p>^ I really want to go to emory main…I can’t say that I don’t care about the prestige but I really have a reason that I want to go to emory :(</p>
<p>^Maybe if you englighten us with why you really, really want to go to Emory we can help you…</p>
<p>So melin720 do u wanna read my why emory essay?!</p>
<p>^I saw you requested that to people somewhere but didn’t bother to respond because…well, you already sent them in.</p>
<p>But I will read them if you don’t mind.</p>
<p>lol yea! that was the thread right before this :D</p>
<p>Hey man, I really wanted to go to Williams but they didn’t want me. So I understand how you’re feeling. But the truth is: you will be happy and successful regardless of what college you end up at, so long as you stay focused and work hard. College will be a fun time even if you don’t get in to your first choice school.</p>
<p>Thank you drought
i know everything you say is true
but u make me so sad! :(</p>

<p>Hi – you may have responded to this elsewhere, but my son just got an e-mail today saying the deadline for Oxford College is extended to 2/1 – just in case that is of interest to you.</p>
