<p>^Funny, I basically wrote complete bs just like that when I applied to Emory last year and they not only accepted me but also gave me a shiitload of money.</p>
<p>if i remember correctly, i wrote that i wanted to come to emory cause it had a better party scene than most top 20’s :P</p>
<p>It really all depends. If you have a certain weak point, you are forced to make up for it with a good essay or a high SAT score. I didn’t have any weak points (and to the best of my knowledge, neither did INVENIAMVIAM 
so I wasn’t trying to make my essay a particular stand-out.</p>
<p>To the best of my knowledge, mk150890 never has any weak points.</p>
<p>Maybe I do, you just haven’t found them yet. ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s because you were an Emory scholar for god-awesome test scores and grades (and probably other stuff).</p>
<p>Get out of here you two, you’re violating the thread. :P</p>
