<p>In my opinion, majord14, you have an excellent chance at admission, ranking first in your class and with strong extracurriculars. You should be able to round up some excellent letters of recommendation and show demonstrated interest by visiting the campus. You could also email the admissions counselor in charge of minority recruitment and ask about Emory Scholars and other programs. See link below:
