Thank you for your response, after reading this thread and speaking to my parents, I’ve decided not to ED Emory. They were very supportive and did not mind whether I EDed or not.
I wanted to keep my options open for my instate schools (especially for Chapel Hill), plus your point about the cost of graduate or med school.
As for your grad friend who plays squash, my brother used to play a few years ago but aside from him, I’ve never heard of anyone else who has even heard of squash before!
