<p>megan: They have a chance, but it isn’t “good”. 1300 basically puts him at the 25% of admitted students. Having a score below 600 certainly doesn’t help. When you are at the bottom quartile, it’s always up to some sort of luck. Could they handle Emory, of course, but will they get in, can’t tell. Certainly not the greatest of chances. Also, you’re assuming we won’t have “flux” this year. The applicant quality could shift and they’ll set the bottom quartile to some else. Even if it doesn’t shift, if it grows, they may do like several other schools and decide to cherrypick based upon this growth. If it was RD, chances wouldn’t be good, but with RD, they are “alright” and not as bleak.</p>
