    The ACT composite is low. Most people with #1 rank, and 4.4 weighted would be composite closer to 34.

    Have you considered re-taking the ACT.

    Just being honest. The people who also apply to Brown and Cornell may well have the higher ACT. Emory you can get in to for sure. Best of luck,

    You're well-qualified, but no more so than most of the Ivy applicants. They really want students with exceptional leadership or achievement or who can bring an interesting point of view to campus. Great recommendations and a really compelling essay may help your application. However, you should have no problem getting accepted at many other schools.
