<p>First of all, I want to transfer to Emory for the Spring 2015 semester.</p>

<p>High school-</p>

<p>GPA: 3.9 uw /4.45 w
SAT: 2010
ECs: varsity soccer, co-president of a club, member of a few clubs, energy academy, volunteering, etc.</p>

<p>College-
GPA: 4.43
ECs: tutoring, job at a car wash</p>

<p>I was doing really well academically, until I realized that I didn't apply to the right schools (ones that could offer me the financial aid I needed) and would have to go to a community college until I figured it out. Disappointed doesn't even describe how I felt! I always pictured myself at a 4-year university and having to stay at home with my parents to be surrounded mostly by unmotivated individuals was DEPRESSING. </p>

<p>Anyway. </p>

<p>My community college GPA and record don't reflect my abilities and I'm wondering if my chances will be hurt drastically by the decline or if they'll be understanding of my situation.</p>

<p>In order to make the Emory admission officer understand of your situation, you need to have to a compelling reason in essay why your college GPA is as it is.</p>

<p>How do you know Emory will provide enough financial aid and affordable? Your CC GPA is low for Emory, perhaps try other lower ranked schools at the same time.</p>
