-- Posted by Anonymous at 7:03 pm on Aug. 13, 2008 Top private high school, I've taken four AP's junior year (I got two fives and two fours) and I'm taking four next year, I'd say that's pretty rigorous and I get mostly A's with maybe one B a semester or so. I'm editor-in-chief of the school paper and have done various writing internships/classes over the summer, I also have played four years of tennis for my school and do some random communtiy service but nothing huge. I got a 1390 for two section, 2130 for three. Not a legacy or minority or anything, blah idk. Do I have a chance? -- Posted by CherryxBomb at 7:04 pm on Aug. 13, 2008 hell yeah lol it sounds pretty good ^_^ -- Posted by MrIndigo at 10:55 pm on Aug. 13, 2008 yep.. pretty good:) You can probably aim a bit higher than that with those credentials though. -- Posted by Anonymous at 4:48 pm on Aug. 14, 2008 Quote: from MrIndigo at 10:55 pm on Aug. 13, 2008 yep.. pretty good:)   You can probably aim a bit higher than that with those credentials though. Seriously? Hm. I thought Emory was pretty top-notch, I'm not sure I'm gonna play the whole I'm-applying-to-an-Ivy game. -- Posted by SilverClover at 10:25 am on Aug. 15, 2008 GPA? Class rank? Years of foreign language? It's a match with those credentials if you have above a 3.85 unweighted. If I remember correctly, Emory was really focused on GPA.. as most schools seem to trend now. -- Posted by Anonymous at 12:43 pm on Aug. 15, 2008 My school doesn't calculate GPA or rank, and I've done/am doing four years of the main five subjects: english, math, science, history, foreign language. -- Posted by MrIndigo at 10:49 pm on Aug. 15, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 4:48 pm on Aug. 14, 2008 Quote: from MrIndigo at 10:55 pm on Aug. 13, 2008 yep.. pretty good:)    You can probably aim a bit higher than that with those credentials though. Seriously? Hm. I thought Emory was pretty top-notch, I'm not sure I'm gonna play the whole I'm-applying-to-an-Ivy game. My school is like yours too, no class rank. " I'm editor-in-chief of the school paper and have done various writing internships/classes over the summer," this is great! " I also have played four years of tennis for my school" great, keeping it up for 4 years is a good plus. "I'd say that's pretty rigorous and I get mostly A's with maybe one B a semester or so" definitely qualified. I say you are definitely an Ivy material. You should take a shot at the top schools:) -- Posted by jennay at 4:55 pm on Aug. 17, 2008 you can definetly do better than emory
