What are my chances of getting into Emory University

Colleges and Universities A-Z Emory University
1

<p>I really want to go to Emory, and if I do not get in I will go to Oxford and transfer after the two years. My mother works at Emory and is the head of psychology there(i know that gives a boost) and i am also a legacy. I go to a rigorous prep school in Atlanta that Emory knows well, and take all honors classes/AP classes. I also plan on doing early admission.
GPA:3.6
SAT 2170
700M 730CR 740W</p>

<p>Extra Curricular:
Black belt and six years of taekwondo
3 years of JV soccer
President of rock climbing club at my school
active member of spanish club at my school
Attended economics course at brown last summer</p>

<p>How do my chances look?</p>

<p>I believe that I have a good shot of admission to Emory, but your application blows my application out of the water… above average SAT, rigorous course load, and a very strong legacy connection, I feel very optimistic about your chances evan!</p>

<p>Did you “take” or attend the course? I don’t know if should go too far highlighting a course you “attended” (if it was some sort of summer program, highlight the whole experience).</p>

<p>And yes, you have a great chance.</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance. You are definitely a match!

<p>You sat is great but how many AP classes have you taken? At school like emory 10 and above is the average.</p>

<p>Charlize that is not true- it depends on the high school. Two kids from our HS were accepted in recent years with far less than 10 APs. They were both Emory Scholars.</p>

<p>Actually I apologize for my comment. What I meant to say was that taking 10 or more AP classes is not necessary.</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance of getting in! Now you just need to blow them away with your essays. Statistics wise, I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to get in.</p>
