<p>i was nominated to be an emory scholar, don't know if i am a semi-finalist or anything like that yet. but on the common app, it asks to indicate if you are a scholar or not. thanks (=</p>
<p>Nope. Average scores for scholar finalists are 3.92 GPA (I think), and 34 ACT/2250+ SAT. I know kids who are nominated with awful scores.</p>
<p>@ TJC747 then why were they nominated - what criteria is the scholarship based on? Thank you (=</p>
<p>Lets just say, there is 1 kid at my school who is being nominated for the Emory Scholars. The kid has a 27 ACT and 3.56gpa - chew on that.</p>
<p>@ UVAorBust, maybe it’s really good ec’s, recommendations, and an awesome essay?</p>
<p>It won’t help, and won’t hurt.</p>
