My parents/teachers are pressuring me to start looking at schools to apply next fall, I need help form people that have gone through the process and can give me a realistic opinion on where to apply.

<p>I would surely apply if I were you, I think you have a good shot, especially if you raise your SAT score.</p>

<p>Yeah, I agree that you have a good shot. You have all the EC's and what not.</p>

<p>Your GPA is kinda low but the rising trend mitigates that. Your test scores are somewhat below the average. Do well academically your senior year and I think you will get in, provided you write a good essay and show interest. I particulary think it is important to show interest at Emory, as a lot of qualified applicants did not get accepted this year because they did not show interest.. which, on admissions account is probably good policy.. so visit or if you cant then request a video visit, send e-mails, etc</p>
