hopeful878, I think that you have a good shot. I’d call it a match or high match. Your GPA is, as you know, perfect with some rigor. Your combined SATs would be at about the bottom of the middle 50% of admitted students, which is okay. Your ECs are probably above average, your work experience sounds good. Emory has lots of diversity, and lots of northerners, especially from NY and NJ, but I think that I read somewhere that only about 7% come from New England. If you show Emory demonstrated interest to go along with terrific essays and good recs, I would say that you would probably be admitted. Your thoughts on the “Why Emory” essay are spot on, in my judgment.
