Chances of getting into Georgia Tech or Emory?
I am an Asian male from Marietta, GA. I go to a very competitive high school, the 2nd best in Georgia. I am a very hard worker & dedicated student. My GPA is currently 4.1 weighed & my ranking is i believe 80/670 (It will improve this year). I have/will take AP Chemistry, AP US History, AP Calculus AB, AP Government, AP Microeconomics, AP Biology, AP Physics B, AP Spanish Language. I have taken numerous honors courses. My SAT scores really do not reflect how smart & hard working I am as a student. This is due to test anxiety & I hope that these numbers will not cost my future. Verbal: 580 Math: 650 Writing: 610 Extracurriculars: National Honors Society, Future Physicians Club (president), Teacher @ church, Boy's Tennis, Pianist, Job @ Nursery, Fairview Development Center, physicians assistant & much more. I'm active in the community w/ 150+ hours & counting. Please inform me of my chances of getting into GT or Emory University. I'm worried & I'm willing to work hard. Let me know what I need to work on or how I must proceed. Will a higher GPA weigh out the lower SAT score? Should I take any SAT II subject tests? Please advise me on what I should do or let me know if I am fine or not. Thank you very much! I could get great recommendations for Emory.

- First of all, Georgia Tech is a mediocre at best public tech school that accepts pretty much everyone who applies, and given your AP courseload and GPA, you're basically guaranteed they'll accept you. As for Emory, it has significantly higher admissions standards, but to be honest, it's not that difficult either. Pull your SATs up, and you'll be at a good standing with them as well
- I wouldn't worry..my bro is @ emory from jonesboro high and his SAT's weren't really high..but he did alot just like you. you will be fine..both schools are trying to get more diversed schools so minorities are being accepted more
