AP Scholar (all 4’s on AP US, AP Euro, AP Eng Lang, AP Calc AB)</p>

<p>Also, aside from the supplement and school report/midyear report forms, does Emory need anything else? Common app doesn’t list SAT II’s as required but I’ve seen several people post them.</p>

<p>From what I gather from the stats of people who have been accepted ED, you are quite qualified for the school academically and in your extracurricular activities. However, these are ED applicants so the overall level of competition might not not be as high as the RD applicants. Just show a bit of interest by visiting, attending a information session, or even just ordering a video visit and you will have a pretty good shot of being admitted. The point that people seem to stress is that Emory really likes applicants who show enthusiasm for the school.</p>

<p>By the way, SAT IIs aren’t required but some people like to submit them to the school or post them on forums to give counselors and forumers more information about themselves.</p>
