Interest

<p>How important is interest at Emory? I visited in May of 2005 and recently e-mailed the head of admissions to express that it is my top choice. Does that interest seem like a suffcient amount? I know Emory is a reach for me, I have a 3.6 uw gpa and am a full IB diploma candidate I also had a 1320/1990 on my SATs and have strong ECs. Do I have a chance?</p>

<p>I think you have expressed your interest well. You certainly have a shot but would have been more competitive if you applied ED. As you know, your stats are below the Emory average.
Good luck.</p>

<p>when i went to visit, the woman in the info session said that emory definitely wants to see interest (as she put it, some schools claim that it really doesnt matter but emory is 'open' about the fact that it kinda matters to them). but she said that none of us (in that room) had to worry about that anymore because the most you can do to show your interest is visit! so there ya go!!good luck, i'm waiting too!!!</p>
