Do I have a shot at Emory University?

I have an unweighted 3.73 GPA on a 4.0 scale, and a weighted 3.82. I’ve only taken a couple honors classes throughout high school (Chemistry and Math 9) and no APs, but I’m taking two APs this year (senior year) (Economics and Psychology). I’ve taken the ACTs twice and scored a 29 Composite with a 9 out of 12 on the writing my first time, and a 30 Compoisite with a 9 on the essay on my second time. I’m a pretty well-rounded student as I have been on missions trips to 3 different countries over the past 4 years, helping to build homes for poverty stricken people and help AIDS patients etc… I am very involved in my school’s music program (4 years of marching band, drumline, pep band, jazz band, percussion ensemble etc…) and have had many acheivments in the area of music. I’m not sure about class ranking, since my high school doesn’t rank. I am also planning to apply Early Decision. So do I have a shot?

Your GPA is average for Emory. However, the average Emory student has more AP classes than you do. You are on the right track taking more — but you aren’t there yet.

Your ACT score corresponds to an SAT score of about 1920-1980. Over 75% of those who are accepted at Emory have higher SAT scores.

Bottom line — you are close to where you should be and have a shot at at Emory — but I would put your odds at less than 50%. While I think you have a decent shot at getting into Emory, I think it is pretty unlikely that you will get in Early Decision when your stats are below the average for students who are admitted.

If you take the SATs and score above 2100, then you have a better chance.

You will also need a killer admissions essay.
