Heh I got attacked in my “chances” thread for attempting to “ego-stroke” or something because they thought I was well qualified, when I know that Emory seems to be picky about class-rank when they admit less kids outside of the top 10% than most Ivies.

But if I’ve ever seen an over qualified app this would be it… your SAT and class rank seem to be fine… but your EC’s and legacy status will put you over the top, even if your essay is flat, boring, or “meh,” it probably won’t be enough to prevent you from getting in unless you do something extremely wrong.
