Hi, I'm applying to Emory for regular decision. Could one of you read over my common app essay and give me any feedback since you guys are already in? I'm trying to get as many opinions because writing's definitely not one of my strong points and the whole college process is freaking me out! I hate posting on an unrelated thread, but most of yall's pm boxes are full :/

amadani · 12-25-2005, 02:01 PM

i think you've got a pretty good shot. the GPA is a little low but i don't think it will destroy your chances. you have really strong ec so it should make up for the lower gpa. make sure that you have done a lot to show your interest in emory though (video visit, information session, etc.) because this could help you even more. good luck and hope to see you in the fall.
