<p>another5005: Thanks :D, I wanted to apply for Emory Scholars, but since my school only nominates 4 people, I didn't have much of a chance. I got to Parkview, which is really competitive. Everyone who applied for Emory Scholars at my school had like 2300+ SATs, 4.00+ GPAs, and top 1% rank. Soo, I didn't really bother. </p>
<p>My parents work at Emory, so Courtesy Scholarship FTW! Woo!</p>
