<p>my ACT right now is a 28, but im incredibly confident that it will be a 31 or 32 next time i take it. the only reason its so low is because i messed up on the reading section (took too long on the first 2 passages and had to guess the last 2, which made me get a 25. my english and math were 30+ and science was 28).</p>
<p>so assuming i get a 31 or 32, is it worth applying to emory with a 3.6? i will have taken 11 AP/IB/Honors, and i have an upward trend and difficult senior year schedule. like if you take my freshman year out, my gpa would be more towards a 3.8 or 3.9, but sadly we cant take that out. </p>
<p>anyways, i have good ECs imo (varsity captain basketball, habitat for humanity build experience, coaching less fortunate kids [basketball], possibly president of the habitat club) and i have a very good counselor rec and teacher recs.</p>
<p>1) apply ED
2) get your guidance counselor to recommend you for Goizueta Scholars: more info for admissions to look at even if you think you are not qualified
3) do you have favorable demographics? (out of NY/NJ, URM, No FA needed)
4) apply ED (sorry if I tend to repeat myself…)
5) of course, demonstrate interest…apply ED</p>
<p>i forgot to mention that. im from hawaii, which is favorable to emory i presume, but im not URM (i dont think filipino counts). and i will need financial aid =(</p>
<p>Just apply anyway. I met a non-URM that got into Emory with only a 29 on the ACT which is definitely not a low score. Your score is fine.</p>
<p>As far as Goizeuta, you will apply as a sophomore for acceptance into the school and you will need to have finished the prerequisite courses or near finished to be considered for the school.</p>
