I’m kind of worried about my EC’s since i don’t know how much weight Emory puts into it, but i feel fine about my test and grades. Any help would be much appreciated.
Emory has gotten significantly tougher to get into the last couple of years. Your GPA/SAT is good, but I’d still categorize it as a reach for you.
What about the Oxford Campus?
Slightly better shot at Oxford, but apply to both.
Your stats are good but avg for Emory.
RD- Reach
ED- High Match
@randomstudent711 : Please do not retake SAT2 subject tests twice. That is a waste of time that could actually go towards doing something interesting in your fields of interest instead of trying so hard to get perfect at bubbling in answers on a test. Retaking is for regular SAT not subject tests. They want to see aptitude for those subjects/specific content at the time you take it first for SAT2, not how well you take tests in general or a willingness to retake. Your AP scores are actually more useful in those disciplines because at least AP is associated with a specific course and also has more variety in the assessment style (free response). Send in the AP scores with the applications you send out and DO NOT retake SAT2s. No one will be impressed that you wasted your time getting a higher score on one of those. Work on meaningful stuff.
Emory if RD I guess is a reach. Stats are good, but are near average for admits and ECs are also average or a little common, so that won’t really help. Work on ECs if you can and definitely avoid sending “new” SAT2 scores to Emory.
