<p>Hey there,
I was recently rejected from Emory (Expected). Like all other rejected applicants I was given the option to apply to Oxford College and sent my application to be considered at the school. Could you please chance me? </p>

<p>Weighted GPA-3.66
Very tough curriculum and a little combination of not trying :P, Catholic Private School in Massachusetts
AP's-Government, US History, Statistics, European History, Calculus AB
Many Honors courses</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Korean (US Citizen)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: Nurses aid at a large hospital, Doctor's Aide in medical trip to Haiti, Tons of clubs, etc</p>

<p>Applied as a pre-med major and had (what I and many others considered) an amazing essay on my realizations after Haiti. Recommendations from one teacher currently at Dartmouth University and another at Boston College. </p>

<p>SAT's: 2000 composite, 660 Math, 670 Critical Reading, 670 Writing
SAT II's: US History-670, Math II - 660
Again a little of not trying and only attempting the tests once. Am I coming off as a little cocky? Sorry. </p>

<p>Please chance me? I've already been accepted to Northeastern with a merit scholarship but my parents are really looking to make me go to a school with a little more prestige. *sigh.</p>

<p>Please let me know!</p>

<p>Also, does anyone know how long I have to wait for the decision on Oxford College? I opted for Oxford College consideration April 1st.</p>

<p>you have a good chance. :)</p>

<p>I read that Oxford decisions will be made by April 20. It was somewhere on OPUS with the waitlist info. Good luck!</p>

<p>Depends on how it’s weighted. Oxford recalculates GPA on an unweighted, 10-point scale (A = 90-100; B = 80-89; C = 70-79; D = 60-69; F = <60): [Oxford</a> College - GPA Calculator](<a href=“http://www.oxford.emory.edu/admission/gpa_calculator/]Oxford”>Admission | Emory University | Atlanta GA)</p>

<p>The average recalculated GPA was about a 3.5 last year. Your SAT is around the 75th percentile of last year’s class–no one’s sure how much that will change for this year; someone claimed that the number of applicants to Oxford doubled this year. I would be surprised if you aren’t admitted, but few things are assured this year.</p>
