<p>bring less attitude and we will play nicer…
I’m honestly surprised at how tame aluminum is being, usually he is the toughest one here. </p>
<p>As for your chances, we are not an admissions committee, your stats say yes, but Emory isn’t a place (I can name a couple that come to mind in the top 20 but wont) that is clearly extremely picky about stats (as in primarily cherrypicks at the high end, sometimes so much that EC’s can be relatively dull in comparison to schools with similar stats) in the process. In honesty, I would say that you have a chance, but someone with lower stats may have a better chance, because I know many such people with more AP’s and what I would call more intensive/unique ECs. In addition, as much as Emory likes volunteering, the type of things you did and excel at may unfortunately label you as a an incoming pre-health stereotype even if you don’t claim or write about being pre-health (which I don’t know if you are, but it appears you could be), It is clear that the adcoms, by necessity of the pool they get, still admit tons of pre-health stereotypes, but it also appears that they are trying to avoid it and are trying harder to recruit those who are stronger in liberal arts disciplines or interested in some of the newer/less popular programs. I think there are forces slowly trying to curb some of the pre-professional orientation the school. </p>
