<p>Volunteering:

essay: reflects my passion which is taking care of the elderly/those who cannot care for themselves. an elderly relative resides with my family and I think my essay topic will be about how i do so much work to take care of her because my parents literally have no time, and there are some health problems that she has... basically it will NOT be some bogus sob story but something genuine. & i can write well so the essay should come out nicely and segue into why I want to do premed</p>

<p>thank you all for even taking the time to read that. i know that you guys obviously cant decide the outcome but any kind of advice or anything that I could do at all would really be appreciated!!</p>

<p>Can’t see you not getting in. Next year will be different and prob easier than this year too</p>

3

<p>Well your stats certainly surpass mine, and I got in. I can’t see you having any problems getting in at all.</p>

4

<p>You’ll have no problem at all. I’m pretty sure you could get into the Emory Scholars program too, with stats like that.</p>

<p>wow, your stats suck, you were just the co captain of your mock trail team and your SAT scores are absolutely amazing!! I’m pretty sure you’ll be fine :slight_smile:
If you do want some pointers though, and did you already apply or are planning to apply later, make sure the “why emory” essay is legit. Once you’ve got that down, I’m sure I’ll see you around campus sometime. Your stats and ECs are great, and you’ve got an awesome chance!</p>
