<p>Not gonna lie im not exactly a stellar student by terms of CC. 1900 SAT and 3.9 UW, lots of leadership and EC stuff though. Varsity soccer for two years and varsity tennis for 5. I took 9 AP’s and 7 Honors and did well on all of them. I think the reason I got in was because I showed interest forever, everything from visiting to sending emails. I also wrote very passionate essays, my “why emory” essay was about the strong sense of community that emory possessed. Also, my sister went there about 5 years ago, i am sure that helped too. But legacy status I don’t think put me over the top since my SAT was a mere 1280/1600. I’d say im defiantly smart enough to attend, I just cant test well for things like ACT and SAT. My SAT II’s were in the 700’s and i have all fours and five on AP’s. So I think its fair to say you need to be well rounded to get in, they take a holistic approach. They don’t want kids who are just all brains, or all volunteer, or all EC orientated, or all sports for that matter. They want a little of each.</p>
