SAT IIs: didn't take
GPA: 3.7- uw, 4.8 weighted
Rank: 33/648, competitive public school

Essays: favorite part of my application, I worked really hard on them and think my "why emory" essay was extremely creative. I also showed a lot of passion for social action in the essay on my fav. EC. However, who am I to judge how good my own essays are?
Teacher Recs: one mediocre, one great
Counselor Rec: didn't read it...since my school is so large, she doesn't know me very well but she probabley wrote an okay one based on the resume I gave her
Hook (if any): visted, attended 3 information sessions

Why I think I was accepted/rejected/waitlisted: my SATs and GPA were both pretty much in range but not above it. I think my creative essays and ECs got me to stand out a bit more than I would have otherwise.
