Waitlisted Emory RD- male, humanities 1500+, 3.8 UW, 8 AP’s- mostly 5’s, a couple 4’s, 1 3, non-feeder private. If Emory is a clear top choice and ED is a workable option for you, then odds will be better for ED1. Being male seems to help too.

Agree no merit without awards and higher scores/stars.

ED1 Rice and ED2 Emory? Esp if male and non-stem non-business non pre-med.

Why?

If male and non-oversubscribed major, much bigger bump at Rice in ED.

The merit is pulling from Ivy level admits, the cream of the crop.

+100

There is no guarantee your child will get in with those stats. Counting on a scholarship seems like a stretch. At those schools scholarships are for those they think they can poach from Ivies. I wouldn't focus on scholarships.

Not saying that to be rude or mean. Just the facts.

He might get a scholarship from u-mass Amherst; CU-Boulder; Elon; Vermont or that level.

The T25 schools give $$$ to the superstars who also get into HYPSM.

Major? Humanities?

Do the NPC at each to see if you would receive and need-based aid.

What would need to change? And I meant the small scholarship like the 15k Emory gives, not Emory Scholars.

Georgetown likes high stats, GPA highly sensitive.

Emory. Less GPA sensitive, but nonetheless like to see a good test score.

NYU is a better fit.
