<p>i think you will. no guarantees. 67.9342524% chance. there, my assessment.
basically, your scores are decent but not great, you do a lot of stuff but no leadership. write good essays!</p>

<p>How about UNC?</p>

<p>Umm… emory doesn’t OFFER interviews.</p>

<p>CNI,</p>

<p>Actually, Emory has begun a new program involving Emory alumni interviews. The program is jointly sponsored by the Emory Alumni Association and the Office of Admission. Since it is new, I think that it will likely not have much, if any, material impact on the admission decision. Neither is an available alumni going to be available in all regions/cities of the country. Like most interviews, it serves more as another resource of information available to a prospective student.</p>

<p>See this link about an article on alumni interviews: [Alumni</a> Interview program poised for great beginning](<a href=“http://www.emory.edu/EMORY_REPORT/erarchive/2007/October/Oct22/AlumniInterview.htm]Alumni”>Alumni Interview program poised for great beginning)</p>

<p>Yeah but they are only for Chicago area students…and it is a pilot program so NCD is right they are not supposed to effect the decision.</p>

<p>Have you talked to the swim coach at Emory?</p>

<p>I think you’re a perfect candidate for Emory. To the person who said you’re scores are not good, I think there fine. I mean you showed extreme excellence in every area on the SAT. A 700+ is amazing. Your GPA is almost nearly perfect, and you have taken the most rigorous courseload. </p>

<p>If you do not get in. I’d be surprised. If your’e looking for a solid undergraduate business program, may I suggest a couple of schools: WashU, Cornell, Notre Dame, UVA(#2 in the nation), UPenn(#1), Indiana(#10, Kelley).</p>
