<p>bbb255, sure thing (I am a 2012 finalist)! To be honest, I didn’t think I would even make semi-finalist stage, so I’m really exciting to visit Emory. Everyone said I had to have an SAT of 2250+. To be honest, I think I’m a great candidate, and would be a wonderful addition to the program, so I’m glad that my low scores (relatively) were not a barrier. It’s funny, because I remember searching the forum for finalists and now I am one. Feels good to be on the other side. :)</p>

<p>I’ve left some stuff out, but I think this is enough to get a picture of what an selection officer would see. If you need anything else (like my essay topics), I’ll happily provide it. Good luck!</p>
