My data was from the Common Data Set for Emory 2010-2011 (there may be more recent data out there). This is a highly reliable source although finding the data for 2014-2015 would be better because my guess is Emory has become more, not less selective in the past 4 years. http://www.oirpe.emory.edu/institutional_research/Common%20Data%202010%202011.pdf

The ACT cut for the top 25% is listed as 33 for 2010=2011 by the way, so OP makes it in under the wire.

OP should of course do his or her own research, but it’s also important to recognize a reach. I didn’t realize Emory was full need, which helps. My point was that at most schools you have to be well within the top 25% if what you are counting on significant merit aid.
