<p>I'm a parent of a homeschooled/part time college junior and Emory just came across my wire as a school my son might look into. So far, the other schools he's considering applying to are:</p>
<p>Penn
Harvey Mudd
Princeton
Vanderbilt
UCSD
UTD</p>
<p>Possible:</p>
<p>Harvard
Stanford
MIT
Davidson</p>
<p>He needs some more safety and match schools. </p>
<p>He is 1/2 Puerto Rican
2320 SAT I, 3 subject tests (730-800), 5 AP exams (four 5s, one 4) </p>
<p>twice Physics Olympiad semi-finalist, AIME qualifier twice </p>
<p>strongs ECs: tons of music-violin mostly, and community service, varsity baseball, lots of chess awards and a national ranking, lots of church service. </p>
<p>Will do graduate level physics research this summer.</p>
<p>Has worked part time since age 13 teaching violin, performing violin, and tutoring math.</p>
<p>I'm trying to help him find schools that are very strong in math and physics since he's taken a lot of college courses in those areas. Also one that has a strong music community, an active Christian (non-denominational or multi-denominational) community, diversity if possible since we're from So. Cal.</p>
<p>Also, we're middle income (78K a year with only a small amount of equity and no assets) so I'm looking for schools that will offer good need-based and/or merit (he'll be a NMS semi-finalist) aid.</p>
<p>If anyone cares to tell me more about Emory on any of these topics, I'd appreciate it. I guess he can get one of their mailings sent to him, too.</p>
<p>Thank-you.</p>
