<p>Hey guys,
I wanted to see what the chances sound like of me getting into Emory</p>

<p>GPA: 3.6/4.0
3rd decile of nationally recognized school (top in state)
SAT: 1360/1600 or 2150/2400
SAT2 Math 2: 770
SAT2 Lit: 690</p>

<p>5 AP classes and the rest are honors
AP Spanish Lang
AP Spanish Lit
AP Statistics
AP English Lit
AP US GOPO</p>

<p>ECS
Debate 4 years, director of team junior and senior year, traveled nationally and built up extensive record
Peer leadership 4 years
Varsity Golf 4 years
Orchestra 4 years
Symphonic band 3 years
marching band 3 years
Volunteer for darfur awareness 3 years
volunteer for promote the vote 1 year</p>

<p>Work Experience:
Teacher's Aide at Hebrew School 3 years</p>

<p>Contacts with Emory
campus visit, DVD, talked to rep during visit and through email, uncle is director of spinal department, talking to debate coach, talking to emory students (common app asked about it), talked to reps at college fairs</p>

<p>I feel recs are solid: 2 solid teachers, debate coach/teacher, uncle (who teaches at emory), and emory debate</p>

<p>I felt my essay was good: personal and showed who i was (or at least my dad, counselor and I think so)</p>

<p>please be honest, i appreciate it. good luck to all applying!</p>

2

<p>oh yeah, and I'm applying ED 1 (i don't know if that changes anything for your opinions)</p>

3

<p>ill: well, post #2 certainly helps....also, if you are a GA resident, I would say you have a great chance......and having a relative who is an employee of Emory doesn't hurt..only thing that may hold you back is that I don't think you have taken calc? Good luck!</p>

4

<p>not a ga resident....hope that doesn't hurt too much. and i'm taking honors calc, not ap.</p>

5

<p>should be fine....the only caveat is if you are from NY/NJ....much more difficult to get in from there, unless you come from a feeder school to Emory.</p>

6

<p>haha that's unfortunate....i'm from NJ. and i'm not sure if my school is a feeder school for emory...don't think it is</p>

7

<p>hmmm. will totally depend on ED1 pool from the geographic area; good move to apply ED though; last year was a bloodbath for RD from the NY/NJ area.......</p>

<p>Does your school have a Naviance program? Has anyone else applied/been accepted to Emory over the last few years? That would probably give you the best indication of your chance of admittance.....especially if Emory did not visit your school in September when they were in NJ.</p>

<p>emory visited my school back in october (i didn't realize that made us a feeder school but that's good to know) and i know a few people have gotten in over the last few years (i think it was 3 last year and 2 the year before but i don't know how many applied). i don't think we have a naviance program, mainly because i don't know what that is...</p>

<p>thanks for all your help!</p>

<p>You are all set.....Naviance is a computer program set up by guidance that tracks admissions.....</p>

<p>If your school had 3 people accepted last year, you will be just fine.....and yes, your school is probably a "feeder" if Emory visited.</p>

<p>alright, that was all really helpful, thanks a lot!</p>
