@bernie12 Would you consider Emory a very high reach for me? I am ultimately wondering if applying to Emory ED1 would give me a good shot at admission. As far as possible academic interests, its really hard to say. I really like history, but I don’t see how that guarantees me a job anywhere. I have an interest in genetics, space, and science in general, I really enjoy asking questions and trying to find answers. My family has typically sold insurance, my dad and grandpa, so I wouldn’t be opposed to business. Finally, I really like law and being a lawyer has always seemed interesting. Anything international is very interesting to me also, considering I’m a dual citizen, something international related to my previous interests would be great. Right now, I’m in state at Wisconsin, but concerned that it might be a lot financially, thats why I’m looking at Emory and other private schools with good financial aid. Would my non custodial parent’s income affect my financial aid package?
Any suggestions I will legitimately consider. Right now my list is:
Emory, Rochester, Wisconsin Madison, Twin Cities Minnesota, and Occidental College
I really appreciate when people are honest so Mr. Bernie if you don’t think I have decent chances at Emory I’d like to know your opinion. From what I’ve heard on the website and from my school counselors, I have a decent shot of getting in on early decision. Sorry for the long post but I thot if you actually wanted a suggestion that you might want the whole story.
Thanks again!!!
