Will I get in to Emory RD?

Colleges & Universities Emory University

<p>Okay, so I’m a junior (but I am graduating this year)…and I’m really nervous about applying.</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.4 UW 4.25 W…but again, this is only two years worth of work. :confused: And my freshman year killed my GPA. My grades rise each year though.
ACT: 26 (retook, pretty sure I scored a 30+)
SAT II Bio M: 670
Class Rank: Top 20%…like in the 15%-18% tile.
EC’s: Teen CERT, National Spanish Honors Society, HOSA, Volunteer, National Science Honors Society, Christian Club…Lifeguard for two years…have a lot of certifications:</p>

<p>CPR/AED for Pro Rescuer ARC
CPR/AED for Healthcare Provider AHA
Lifeguarding ARC
Oxygen Administration ARC
First Aid ARC
Intructor Essentials AHA
Teen Community Emergency Response Team Cert.
Swim Instructor Cert.</p>

<p>I also got first place in my area for the HOSA CPR/First Aid competition. I also want to include that my rank and GPA are low, but I do go to a very competitive magnet school. I am in a pre-med program also…EMT pathway…I have about 100 internship hours if that matters. </p>

<p>Hooks:
African American Male, Diagnosed with GSD V (not anything major…just a very rare disease…can never swim a marathon).</p>

<p>Ummm…what else? </p>

<ul>
<li>I live in Texas…georgraphical diversity? The reason I am applying to Emory rather than Rice…</li>
<li>People to People Student Ambassadors Alumni</li>
<li>Tutored freshman year</li>
<li>Also don’t forget… Early graduate. :stuck_out_tongue: Not that much time to raise GPA…I know for this semester I did really really well…</li>
</ul>

<p>Also, I am in dual-enrollement with a community college…So far I have these classes…</p>

<p>Psychology: A
US History: A
Government: A
English 1301: A</p>

<p>So, hopefully that shows them that I am better with college level work rather than high school level work? :confused: My counselor also wrote a recommendation (I think) about how I changed over the years in high school…like how my procrastination has led me to become a better student and not make those same mistakes.</p>

<p>So what do you think?</p>

<p>Honestly, I’d say under a 15% chance if you don’t get higher ACT scores. Good GPAs and Standardized test scores are important and you usually have to have one or the other.</p>

3

<p>What if my ACT score was like a 30 or 31?</p>

4

<p>I could get into Oxford college, couldn’t I? I’ll probably apply to both colleges. Emory College and Oxford College.</p>

<p>GPA Average (unweighted) 3.5
SAT Critical Reading Range (25th - 75th Percentile) 540-650
SAT Math Range (25th - 75th Percentile) 590-730
SAT Writing Range (25th - 75th Percentile) 560-660
ACT Range (25th - 75th percentile) 25-29</p>

<p>Yeah, you probably could get into Oxford especially with a higher ACT</p>

6

<p>If I get a 30 to 31 on the ACT, will I have a chance at Emory College? At all. I am going to apply to both colleges.</p>
