<p>Your ACT score is a little low but you have a really strong GPA and you seem very involved with extracurriculars. I think you have a good chance at Emory. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1412925-chance-me-ucb-nyu-stern-uofm-ross-etc.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1412925-chance-me-ucb-nyu-stern-uofm-ross-etc.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thanks bro that is good to hear! Anyone else?</p>

<p>I don’t think your ACT is that low, but it is slightly less than their average. You have a wide range of consistent ECs, which is really important, but did you have any leadership?
Also, Emory tends to weigh essays a lot, so you can easily compensate if you think your ACT is a little low if your essays were above average. Your in-state status will probably also help. Overall, I think you have a really solid chance. Good luck!</p>

<p>Chance me back? :slight_smile:

<p>Yeah his ACT is not low I just meant that it was lower than the average but you are right, the essay will determine a lot.</p>

8

<p>Ok thanks guys yea hopefully my essays are good to the adcoms. Anyone else?</p>

9

<p>i say your GPA is off the charts for Emory and your ACT is right on the ball park. not low but not high either. kill ur essays and have good recommendations and ur okay.</p>

10

<p>Thanks Bro! Mannn I hope I did well on those essays haha! Anyone else?</p>

11

<p>Decent ACT, could be better, but resume should compensate. Definitely a match. Hope the best man. </p>

12

<p>Thanks bro means a lot! Anyone else?</p>

13

<p>I would say match. Your GPA is amazing but your ACT scores might be on the low end. Don’t be surprised if you get rejected though so have a good safety! Chance back?</p>

14

<p>Haha yea I definitely know it could easily go either way. Anyone else?</p>

15

<p>Does anyone else have any more thoughts? I am more than happy to chance back!</p>

16

<p>Resume should compensate for the kind of low (for Emory) ACT. I think you will get in, but getting a higher ACT score (even by just one point) will further help solidify your acceptance.</p>

<p>Chance me back, please, and good luck! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1413287-chance-me-ucs-upitt-carnegie-mellon-cornell-etc-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1413287-chance-me-ucs-upitt-carnegie-mellon-cornell-etc-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Kinda confused right now because I thought Emory’s average ACT was a 31 but I guess it isn’t. And I wish operationIVY but this is for Early Decision so i can’t change my score :frowning: Anyone else?</p>

18

<p>25th percentile for ACT scores is 30, and 75th percentile is 33 at Emory. Either way, don’t worry about it, I’m sure you’re in.</p>

19

<p>I think you have a really good chance, especially if you are applying E.D. Your class rank and GPA will help you a lot, as well as your senior schedule. </p>

<p>Chance me back <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pomona-college/1413358-chance-me-pomona.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pomona-college/1413358-chance-me-pomona.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Yeah that is what I’m banking on to be my main factor to getting in. Anyone else?</p>
