@rokun123 I think they’ll like you, but they may find you to be a stereotype which can hurt a little. I do not mean ethnic stereotype, I mean academic. As I’ve mentioned before, it seems Emory is going toward a more “intellectual” feel of campus, and it is bound to show up in recruiting where someone who is clearly a pre-business or pre-med may be at somewhat of a disadvantage because they will want to not select too many people who blatantly plan on doing these. However, they won’t care about your career path if you can show in your essays that you have some sort of intellectual passion. Show that your interest goes beyond the laundry list of activities you’ve completed. Can you really talk about any of them passionately because if so, you have a solid shot.
Too bad you have to come in be a humdrum bio major though
lol. Seriously, look into something else, other departments have more exciting things going on (course offering wise, and the teaching is just better. Biology is saturated and is over-rated as a pre-health oriented major. NBB, chemistry, anthro, human health are generally better, more interdisciplinary, and more interesting) and you can still be pre-med or whatever you intend to do. Trust me, I was a bio major. You can take the best biology classes without being a major. Some of the classes are taught like you’re in HS or something…why bother? It will afford no MCAT advantage
