I’m a current junior and I was wondering my chances of getting into emory are
SAT: 2150
ACT: 31
GPA: 4.8 (will be above a 5.0 by the end of this year)
UW GPA: 3.8
APs: 7 APs so far (will be 12 by the time a graduate)
Class Rank: 53/504
Clubs and EC: Medical BioScience Academy, HOSA, Key Club, Odyssey of the Mind (president; have been doing this for 6 years), National Honors Society; Varsity Women’s Lax (2014-2015); Swim Team (2010-2015)
Emory’s my first choice
thanks for all your help!!
Are there any good scores (4/5) on the APs?more than just amounts would help us as, based on your listings, you have no SAT II scores. Also, Emory only cares about your UW GPA (it will then reweight for rigor so your UW GPA may be lower or higher depending on how they reweight) which looks fine. Without more information (did you win anything?), all I can say is that you look like the average admit which isn’t that much of a good thing because it means things can go either way (as in half or more of average stats applicants vs. last year’s admits will likely be denied). Hopefully you wrote pretty interesting essays or something to help you stand out.

@pjatloe When you apply, immediately send the good scores (if you can choose which to send) to Emory, for the SAT II. If you did well in most of the APs, you should send those as well. Those honors look solid as well. You appear to be a brainy entrepreneur…becoming much more common at Emory and can be sold to adcoms especially since you have honors to support those attributes. What is your academic or intellectual interest at Emory if you have any.
I’m an Emory freshman who got in last year regular decision. You have a very strong chance of getting in, for sure. Good luck!
