<p>letter of rec & essay: probably impressive and decisive</p>

<p>your gpa is great and your EC's are strong. That 480 verbal will make it difficult, but scores aren't everything. I wouldn't bother withdrawing the app if i were you.</p>

<p>u have a shot. take the toefl.</p>

<p>you will get in b/c you don't need FA, and they like $$$</p>

<p>thank you for all the encouragement
it helps</p>

<p>You can't just weigh your gpa and SAT scores since there's a LOT more involved, including how well you convey your interest in attending Emory(why emory essay, visits, etc.), the rigor of courses(# of ap, ib, honors), recommendations, or that "hook" that makes you unique compared to the academically homogeneous pile of qualified applicants. So just think it all out carefully. =P</p>
