<p>DRose2012: You will probably of course make it into Emory (I think), but no one can tell you chances of becoming any type of scholar no matter how good your qualifications are (and they are pretty damned good). It is tough and I’m pretty sure most who apply have the qualities they are searching for, but they like some of the “students”(not their qualifications) better. Many of the scholars I know at Emory (who enter as a scholar) for example (I’m not sure I know any G scholars) are indeed “scholars” who take paths that are more rare at this institution. Many of them, for example, are not pre-professional and even when they are, they take less travelled paths. For example, you’ll find the pre-law chem. majors, the science majors with no interest in pre-med (I know one which is a chem and physics major and wants a phD), the extremely liberal arts oriented science major that write books (and are already published), the pre-business student taking frosh orgo, etc. I can see you getting some type of scholarship, however. I just don’t know what, outside of high GPA, rigor of curriculum, and great ECs, makes a competitive G scholar. For example, apparently in one incoming BBA class at GBS, 16% of them had started their own business. Unfortunate to say that, more than likely, most were not G scholars. However, I cannot speak for those who were among that 16% AND were in the top 75% (you know, SAT or ACT wise) of their incoming frosh class (this is you). </p>
<p>As for guarantees. I’m sure you’ll be auto- admitted to GBS, , but you, like most, will probably get admitted (even without) unless tragedy happens to your grades and most BBAs I know do not and are not willing to take more challenging classes in the college of arts and sciences. And no, the GBS pre-reqs, other than say, finance, are not considered challenging (especially to someone with AP or some sort of college econ.). Perhaps if you’re a scholar, you’ll show a different tenacity and of course, still manage solid grades . 80% of GBS applicants are admitted. Anyway, you get auto-admitted and then you get to choose classes earlier than others.
