<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am a high school junior from Illinois. I plan to either go the PreMed route or major in engineering.</p>
<p>-31 Composite on my ACT (will most likely take once more).
34E
33M
26R
30S</p>
<p>-4.83/5 Unweighted GPA.</p>
<p>-Member of a community service group at my school that does service to better the community’s elderly or poor.</p>
<p>-50+ community service hours (Tutoring, church work, soup kitchen, etc.)</p>
<p>-3 years of high school baseball</p>
<p>-1 year of high school football</p>
<p>-Mostly honors and AP courses</p>
<p>-Will have 5 AP classes by the time I graduate</p>
<p>Just so you’re aware, Emory doesn’t offer engineering. The only school with any engineering of note in Georgia is Georgia Tech.</p>
<p>And realistically, yes you have a shot at Emory. Will you get in? Maybe. Maybe not. The point is, your stats put you in the middle 50% of enrolled students.</p>
<p>Ok. Thanks for letting me know. Also, thank you for your honest answer!</p>
<p>A student with your stats should also consider Early Decision for a selective school like Emory. Applying early means that there is less competition in the applicant pool, so you may increase your chances. Just know that it is binding, meaning that if you get in you must attend Emory, and it is therefore not the best option if attending is conditional upon scholarships/aid. Hope that helps and good luck!
p.s I am a current Emory student that applied regular decision due to financial concerns :)</p>
<p>Emory does have engineering, however it is in conjunction with Georgia Tech for a 3-2 program, where you spend the first 3 years at Emory, and the last 2 at Georgia Tech, earning both a liberal arts degree and an engineering degree, I think</p>
<p>The joint engineering program is difficult to do unless you bring in a lot of math/sci credit. The other things is that if you’re not a Georgia resident, you have to pay out-of-state tuition at Georgia Tech (which Emory Financial aid doesn’t cover).</p>
