<p>Your GPA and Act score put you in the middle of Emory’s admitted students, which is good. There are a lot of applicants in that area, though. Of your ECs, admissions officers at elite colleges such as Emory would probably like the 6 week service trip to Rwanda since they have a soft spot in their hearts for students who want to save the world. The other ECs may seem like window dressing. Only 7% of Emory’s students come from New England, so you may benefit from “the reverse commute.” I would guess that you get accepted. Good luck!</p>
