Asked by Joe M.
I applied for freshman admission for Emory University in the fall of 2007. I am currently a senior in a high school in middle Georgia. I am the salutatorian of my high school class and was named the star student for this year. I had a 97.6 average in a class of 200. I had a 790 on math and a 680 on verbal. I was voted on as most intelligent by my senior class this year. For my extracurriculars, i was very active in the band program, serving as band captain my senior year and ranking in the top saxophone players in the state.I visited the campus a few times and I really loved the enivronment Emory had to offer. However, I barely made the deadline, submitting my application on January 15. Also my grades in the 1st semester of my senior year fell some and i ended up with 5 As and 2 Bs. I am afraid that this will hurt me in the admissions process. Emory has now become my first choice for college and I would love for your input on my acceptance. Thanks!
