Emory, Chance me.

RD will be hard:

SAT is technically fine (may be in middle 50, the lower end, but competitive nonetheless), but keep in mind most applications are in the RD round and there will be tons around and far ahead of that score.
Only Higher levels and special topics extensions to them count for IB. Maybe only 1/2 of the APs are regarded as “useful” by Emory and many other elites: AP Lang, AP Chem, and APUSH (barely), the IB Lang/Lit if HL are then redundant.

ECs are fine I think. Had you ever considered something like a chemistry Olympiad or other things higher than the chemistry club? Basically something to take that interest further than testing and club membership. It may have helped develop an academic spike that makes you look attractive to some departments. Oh well too late.

No need to rate essays…decisions will be out in a month and it really only matters what they think of the essays and how they paint you as a person and scholar.

How do people do this…“reach”, but you may very well be admitted.
