Good to hear that you have quite a few backup plans lined up though. Hopefully Yale accepts you Edit: I'd also like to wish all students the best of luck with the admissions. | ||

People (fellow students) don't really care that much about test scores/grades from my experience and I don't know if there's that much of a difference in acceptance levels between different universities at all. There is a huge difference in acceptance levels, ranging anywhere from 100% (community colleges) to around 8% or so (most of the Ivy League, big tech schools). OP, take comfort in the fact that almost everyone who applies to one of the big name colleges/universities is fully qualified to go there and do very well, but when you get 20,000 people applying for 1500 spots, the "signal to noise" ratio in who gets accepted and rejected is extremely low. The majority of people who apply get rejected because there just aren't enough spots and they got unlucky. It's not like college admissions departments have some magic formula where they feed your application into a machine and it spits out a numerical score and they accept everyone above a certain cutoff, because it's impossible to just rank applicants in a straightforward manner. They accept people who clearly have potential to excel academically and will also bring something interesting/useful to the larger community of the incoming class. | ||

Do we live in the same country lol? We have a pretty similar situation in Sweden but it's not as extreme compared to the US and Ivy leagues... Things like ECs don't matter at all but that's about it. | ||

Its true that they're the same everywhere but it feels like the proportion at Emory is higher than normal. Maybe I'm just realizing it now because I'm a TA but dear god they ask some incredibly stupid questions. | ||

Maybe I'm just realizing it now because I'm a TA but dear god they ask some incredibly stupid questions. It's because Emory's a v. good place to study bio, so it tends to attract more premeds. Same with WashU; I visited a friend at WashU last year, and dear god, all the students I spoke to were on a premed track (incl. my friend). Some of them weren't majoring in bio, but it was like: "Oh, I'm majoring in Classics, but I'm doing premed too!" "I'm majoring in biomed engineering, but I'm on the premed track." I was like, "Wtf, how do you guys have time?" | ||
