<p>You have strong ECs (not that concentrated, though), but your scores/grades arent really on par for Emory. Legacy will help, but I’m not sure how much pull it will have overall. Demonstrate you really want to go there in your essays and you should have a stronger shot. Good luck.</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>Don’t list things, like the marching band from freshman year unless you’ve continued them for at least 3 years. Your scores are so-so for Emory, but it helps that your sister’s there. Emory likes to see “demonstrated interest”, so visit. They’ll like ED too. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks! yeah, I’ve visited before, both for an official tour, and for my sister, which i put into my supplement. Yeah, I figured I shouldn’t list things, thanks for the tip.</p>
