For Emory: “Students must submit a transcript of their school records thus far with their application. In the senior year, a mid-year transcript and a final transcript is sent to Emory after the application process is complete. To be competitive, Emory applicants must have completed four years of high school English, two years of high school history, two years of high school social studies, and two years of high school science lab. Emory only requires three years of math and two years of science and foreign language, but it prefers to admit students who have studied each of those subjects for four years. It also prefers students to have taken at least one fine art course. The average high school GPA of an Emory student is 3.84.” (http://classroom.synonym.com/emory-university-undergraduate-admission-requirements-6446.html)
