I'd really like to go to Emory Medical School... but I didn't complete until 10/21. My first MCAT in June wasn't too great so I didn't want to apply then, but I retook in September and did very well but the score didn't come in until middle of October. I feel like chances are slim based on the fact that I applied so late... but I am an Emory graduate, georgia resident, and hispanic. Plus I have some good recs from some notable emory faculty members, so I'm still hoping for the best!

For those of you thinking about Emory, it's an awesome school. I loved my time there as an undergrad. Very nice campus with a very nice feel, tons of research opportunities and resources. Emory boasts a lot of renowned faculty members too... For example, I took a class with Franz De Waal and it was awesome. When the Dalai Lama came last year the campus was crazy. Emory is located in Decatur, which is a nice area adjacent to all of the popular spots around Atlanta but still a comfortable distance away from the hustle and bustle. Recently, MARTA (atlanta mass transit/train system) proposed to add new stops, including a few at Emory which would be huge!
