<p>Please chance me for the Emory Class of 2017 in the Regular Decision cyle.</p>

<p>C’s in your junior year could hurt you a bit. What’s your unweighted GPA? Also, what are your AP test scores from the tests you’ve taken?</p>

<p>I actually didn’t take the AP exams for the two AP classes I did. I took the subject tests for chemistry and math and got 640 chem and 780 math II.</p>

<p>My school doesn’t do unweighted GPA, but if Emory re-calculates, it’ll probably be around 3.55.</p>

<p>I’m not certain, but I think both the College of Arts and Sciences and Oxford recalculate as follows:</p>

<p>[Oxford</a> College - GPA Calculator](<a href=“http://www.oxford.emory.edu/admission/gpa_calculator/]Oxford”>http://www.oxford.emory.edu/admission/gpa_calculator/)</p>

<p>I recalculated with the Emory calculator and it’s at 3.5 right now.</p>

<p>

<p>You’re below the 25th-75th percentile range is a 3.76-4.0, but you have good SAT scores. Your 11th grade performance seems a bit concerning (were the C’s in the AP classes?), along with not having any AP scores. Based on the information you provided–and assuming you demonstrated interest/wrote good essays/have good recs–I would say somewhere between a high match and a low reach.</p>
