I think you stand a really good chance for admission to Emory. And, with your stats, I think the costs of applying ED2 far outweigh the benefits.

By switching your application from scholars to ED2, you risk giving up merit aid. Your stats may not be exceptional for the program, but they’re good enough to make it a possibility. Like NorCalDad said, you could qualify as a semi-finalist; therefore, you also risk giving up the near certainy that you’ll be admitted. By appling ED2, you risk placing yourself in a situation where you have to attend Emory. Unable to consider other colleges, you may not get the finacial aid you desire. Or, perhaps even more dreadful, you may simply have a change of heart and want to attend another college by the time you get your decision back.

What you gain from ED2 is an advantage for admission that you probably don’t need in the first place.
