Late application to Emory, chances?

Applying to College
1

I applied to 8 schools and all of them were either safeties or target schools, but i didn’t apply to emory because i was depressed that even if i got in i wouldn’t get anything.

anyways, to make a long story short, i’ve sent my application online (commonapp.org), and my guidance counselor needs to send in the teacher recs/guidance rec/transcript/etc.

I need to know first of all: here’s what I am, (asian american) 25/276 kids, top 10 percent in class, 3.71/4.00 (92.8) UNWEIGHTED (no weighting), SATs of 1250, 1380, 1460 (this one is combined 730 and a new math score of 730), SAT IIs of 710 chemistry, 710 math ic, 690 bio, 600 writing (i know), 7 APS, all honors, 100+ hours of community service, debate club 4 years, key club 4 years, tutoring for 1 year, skiing for 2 years, spanish club 4 years, school newspaper one year. and i’m in NY.

I wrote, what I think, is a very strong essay but will my late application (the deadline is January 15th for regular decision which is a week away), affect me very negatively. Does Emory even look at all the applications before January 15th (like rolling admissions).

Please tell me my chances/Hopes because I know now that this is the school I want to go to.

P.S.
I know that Emory loves their students to be interested in their school. Unfortunately t/o the college process, all I did was talk to a student who graduated from there, checked out some review sites, here, read student comments, and subscribed to the mailing list. I did not ask for their videos, attend their tours (too expensive to travel for us), etc.

Please anyone?

<p>I read one book on college admissions that said there are so many applications received that they really don't pay attention to when they come in. There are piles and piles.</p>

<p>alright, thank you.</p>

<p>Do u think that I can get in and although i didn't physically "show" much interest in Emory, I know I want to go there. Will it harm me or hamper my chances if I call them and ask them about the school, or about my application. What does anyone here recommend that I do?</p>

<p>i think you're worrying way too much. i'm sure emory will understand that you couldn't afford visiting and going on their tours. You seem like a strong applicant. Since you are so concerned about showing your interest in emory, you could send a supplemental "why emory" Essay if they don't require one.</p>

<p>Your essays will show that your are interested in Emory and knowledgable about it. You should be a good candidate for acceptance if your essays are good. One final point - they seem to wait list people. If that happens, your final grades may be a consideration, so don't catch senoritis.</p>
