<p>Admission into Emory’s nursing school isn’t that competitive so you don’t necessarily have to do “well” to get in. It’s a similar scenario as with transferring into the business school here: most people with a decent GPA (i.e. 3.4+) and have completed all their prereqs will get in despite the lack of any guarantees.</p>
<p>As for getting into Emory CAS, that as people have already said might be much harder for you. The key component that I like to tell everyone applying to Emory is to show interest. Emory adcoms knows that many of its applicants have the stats and ECs to get in and excel but have no intention of going, and WILL reject/waitlist those people in favor of someone else who is more interested but may have inferior credentials. So for you, that means applying ED, visiting if possible, having contact w/ the university in some way, and writing a very inspiring “Why Emory” essay. While applying ED already shows a lot about your interest, this component could be the deciding factor for a borderline applicant such as yourself so don’t blow it off.</p>
<p>Yes your GPA and SAT CR are on the low side so try to improve them as well, and if you believe your class rank and gpa are because of the difficulty of your hs, make sure to have your counselor mention that in his/her recommendation and show it with a superior SAT reasoning and subject score (the ones you have right now are kinda iffy, usually 700+ looks pretty good).</p>
<p>Overall I’d say a slight reach if you apply ED. Good luck!</p>
