<p>It was worth applying, but your GPA (and ranked mentioned in other threads will hurt you).</p>
<p>Frankly, you should have applied to Oxford…</p>
<p>Don’t know your chances but those are impressive sounding ECs for a business major. Are you interested in the financial component of business?</p>
<p>Good luck, friend.</p>
<p>Yeah I am, Im actually going to be interning at a hedge fund this summer which I am totally pumped out of my mind about. Yeah I know oxford would have been easier but I really wanted to go to emory. Thanks for the feed back I know its gonna be quite a reach, any other thoughts?</p>
<p>You’ll probably get in. I don’t think that Emory is that hard to get into anymore. They try to market it as a competitive school, but it really isn’t. Nowhere near a hard to get into as Washington University, Johns Hopkins or Northwestern. Easier to get into than the University of Michigan in many cases. The number of applicants stopped rising for a while and then the school just encouraged a bunch of Asian international students to apply. They don’t have to give these students any financial aid. I assume they also give preference to students from wealthy areas to help offset the huge financial promise they made with Emory Advantage (even though they deny it). I would guess that a lot of the people applying to Emory, don’t really have any intention on actually going to the school. There are a lot of students who just apply to 10 or more top schools.</p>
<p>trex792 's words on Asian international student are kind of right…but any way you have great ECs and good SAT result! Just try it!</p>
<p>dont worry! i met a girl at MIT who had a GPA of 2.8 and still got in…your internships, summer jobs, start ups, research papers, recos etc count a lot more than you can imagine!</p>
<p>Thanks for the chances guys, Im just really nervous my gpa will be a huge deal breaker, but I’m praying that my other stuff really drags me up.</p>
