<p>After taking the ACT in December, i had the agency send my scores to Emory University. A couple of weeks ago i received a letter stating:</p>
<p>"Thank you for the interest you have shown in Emory University by having your test results sent to us. Your self-reported class performance and test scores indicate that you are probably the kind of student who has traditionally enroled at Emory and done well."</p>
<p>The rest is just information about the school. I wanted to know if this letter meant anything in terms of increasing my chances. Is this just a standard letter that everyone receives? Are any of you aware of students who received this letter and was accepted?</p>
<p>Well....I'm a hispanic student..oos...29 ACT..3.83 Gpa UW rank:23/193. My GPA this semester is 3.791. Taking AP calc, AP chem and earned a 5 on AP Bio last year. Can any of you say what my chances are. </p>
<p>BTW, i speak 2 languages other than english. Financial status: $25,000-49,000 range.</p>
<p>Hispanic, low-income (in respect to most of the applicants to Emory, that is), 29 on the ACT (which is about a 1300/1600 on the SAT)...</p>
<p>You're a high-stat minority that is low-income. That's why they sent it to you. (BTW, I'm not bashing you or anything. You're just a rare type of student that ANY university wants, because diversity, both racial and economic, has been amped up in a lot of highly selective universities lately).</p>
<p>yeah, it's cool, i know what you mean. I just didn't know if they just sent it to everyone who had their scores reported to Emory. I also wanted some input from the rest of you regarding my chances (RD). I don't really know how they select the applicants. </p>
<p>Also, how do i find out who my regional representative is? And is that person responsible for evaluating my application?</p>
<p>i received that exact same letter after sending my scores in but WAYY before I even sent in my application. I'm talking like half a year before. I am almost positive that is a letter they send to people who send them scores. Maybe all scores or maybe scores within/above range.</p>
<p>If it is the latter, then it could possibly be considered a likely letter, 'cause if the score is WAY high I think Emory is really likely to admit</p>
<p>Sorry to burst your bubble, but I received this same letter, twice, when I indicated Emory as my score recipient on two of my SATs. And I received this very letter WAAYYYYY before I even submitted my application. </p>
<p>It is simply an invitation to apply.</p>
<p>I will have to wait till 1st April to see how much this letter helps.</p>
<p>Clearly its not a likely letter, but I don't believe its generic. If you get this letter then Emory has indicated that <strong>based on SATs alone</strong> you are a good candidate.</p>
<p>I got a 35 and never recieved this letter? </p>
<p>Oh well, that is that. Congrats to all those who recieved this, it looks like you have good chances anyway. As for me, I'm beginning to fear a lack of demonstrated interest is killing me even though I did practically everything except visit.</p>
