Bad MCAT scores?
“Where are you seeing that Emory SOM gives a preference to Emory applicants?”
Nobody is going to tell you they do that, especially adcom.
“Maybe you’ve done very well in the premed prereqs so you’re not aware of what’s going on with others.”
I’ll be honest, I really like my premed classes and I haven’t found them to be too challenging (I dread physics though). However, if I went to a school like UC Berkeley, I probably wouldn’t do so well - horrible, horrible curves. At Emory, you get what you earn and I like that.

@r4cheh Yeah, I think Emory would be too expensive for you. Apply and see if you get in. If they give you anything (which isn’t likely), definitely go there! University of Florida is an excellent school too and dirt cheap! In this case, I would go to the cheaper school. Good luck!
