Chance Me: NC resident, 3.84 UW, 34 ACT, biology or chemistry. Please give me some hope

Emory is unlikely.

Not because you can’t get in because you can. But you shouldn’t ED - because if under $80K is the requirement, and their stated costs this year (including personal/travel) is over $80K and it’s only going up - then you can’t hit the mark. I imagine you’ll say - that’s small potatoes but just making you aware. Oxford doubles your shot if you will.

Your targets are reaches - except maybe UNC.

Let me ask you this and I don’t see it happening because NC State is highly likely - but if you had to go to UNCC, would you be disappointed?

If so, why is it your safety? Choose another. If you’re ok with it - then no problem.

Also, if Emory is $80K+ and UNC is $26K - and you’re getting a degree that’s for lack of a better word putting out underemployed grads - so is your family willing to spend an extra $220K vs. one of the top schools in the country?

I ask because there’s a chance you get into both Emory and UNC - are you sure they’d send you to Emory? You should have that discussion - because when they see the #s, they might feel differently.

Good luck.
