<p>Emory’s administration is incompetent if you haven’t realized that already. Your situation doesn’t surprise. Go ahead and call, but I doubt that anyone will return your phone call. Also, I can’t imagine that anyone in the admissions department with half a brain actually reads the teachers recommendations or essays. Emory will admit almost anyone that can improve their average admission statistics and lives an affluent enough area where they can safely assume that you won’t need financial aid. The university is much easier to get into than you would think.</p>
