I may be a bit past this stage, but I can identify with the devastation of not getting into your top schools... though in retrospect, these were my parents' top choices, not mine, and the devastation was for having disappointed them.

Still, I'm sorry if Emory was your ideal school. As others mentioned, transferring is a definite option, which I considered as well. The plan would be to do very well for the first semester or two, showing them that you're serious. Given your top-tier SAT scores and with some hard work, I'm sure you can get a GPA more than good enough for Emory.

I wound up not transferring because I got to like the place where I wound up, which could easily happen with you as well.
