<p>it might be somewhere in between…
perhaps leaning more towards the safety side?</p>

3

<p>It cant really be considered a safety, but I would say that if you are applying RD it is a match.</p>

4

<p>with good essays, you have a excellent shot</p>

5

<p>safteyish.</p>

6

<p>Why not have some more privacy?
You have excellent shot by the way.</p>

7

<p>you have a good shot, but I have friends who were rejected with the same gpa and higher test scores, so I’d say a match not a safety</p>

8

<p>I agree with MattLeinartFan- my friends with better stats got rejected/waitlisted.
Be sincere in your essays and you’ll have a great chance.</p>

9

<p>I’d say more of a match.</p>

10

<p>no its not. our sat scores were similar, I had a 1500 (reading and math) out of 1600 and I was waitlisted.</p>

11

<p>not about stats in this case; more about demographics…a ton of NY/LI kids apply to Emory ED; if Emory decides (as they did a couple of years ago) that they have enough kids from LI that are already in ED, they don’t need any more RD and, therefore, waitlist…</p>

<p>so…net-net…it’s a match for RD with a caveat…</p>
