[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For Emory, less than half of the applicants submit an SAT score. Your SAT score is almost at the 50th percentile.

Phenomenal chance ED, great chance RD.

Sometimes I think posters here don't realize the CDS gives such clarity.[/quote]

Bottom quartile is 720V and 750M so 1480 is just over 25th percentile, not near 50th…still, the fact that a high percentage don’t submit is helpful.[/quote]

You do realize the 50th percentile SAT score at Emory is 1500?[/quote]

If 1470 is the 25th percentile and 1500 is the 50th, 1480 is closer to 25th than 50th.[/quote]

Obtuse much? The difference is statistical noise.  Fully 50% of Emory's students have a 1500 or below on the SAT.  That statistic  only includes the 50% of students who bother to submit an SAT.  If you think that Emory is going to look at 1480 or a 1500 as a difference maker, you are  just plain wrong.  A 1480 is a bonafie submit score for Emory, and an assured ED admit.  It is a high likely admit for RD assuming GPA and rigor math the score.[/quote]
