@aphro24 : Dual enrollment>>>AP. You’ll be alright stats wise and Emory doesn’t care that you’re going for biology. That’s so common (because most non-physical sciences, IE biology and NBB are pre-med which we of course have lots of) that they wouldn’t really care unless you said you were interested in something specific about biology or specific opps at Emory that go beyond being just a bio major. If you said you were interested in the humanities for some reason, especially creative writing (an undergraduate program that has gotten a lot of good attention), then they’d pay more attention to academic interests as based upon major. Most people have strong EC’s so I don’t think that will help you stand out. Again, your stats are the main thing helping you now as it is above 1400 M/V. Given that you applied ED2, they may just want to snag you up to ensure a solid amount of students above 1400/1450 (at least half usually) as these folks are harder to yield from the RD applicant pool (too much competition for them. Many will be accepted elsewhere).
