| These schools all see similar and are on my son’s list. How do they compare in terms of selectivity? |
Google is your friend. All of the statistics you need are a click away. |
or maybe 3 clicks away in this case.. and maybe some new browser tabs and back button |
| selectivity: Wash U > Emory > Tulane. All have the ED game to play and increase chances. |
WashU and Emorys acceptance rate and test scores are is the same. Tulane is lower. |
| check CDS for past year's kids' stats |
| Our advisor told us Wash U and Emory very similar but Tulane much much easier (especially if you apply ED) |
This, but gap between Wash U and Emory is fairly small. Much much larger gap between Emory and Tulane. They all give a big bump for ED. I think WashU and Emory both about 35% acceptance rate for ED this year. But they take 50-60% of class ED. For Tulane, you have to apply ED or maybe EA — they took only 100 kids last year RD. This year looks like it will be similar based on what I am seeing locally. Total manipulation of stats for ranking purposes. They say they have 7% acceptance rate. But ED rate is probably over 50% if not considerably higher. |
| Tulane is big on yield protection so if your kid is high stats, they must apply ED to be accepted. |
| My son is not a partner so I think he will prefer Emory or WashU. Besides location and engineering is the vibe at these 2 schools similar? Which is more stressful? |
Emory doesn’t have engineering. |
| Meant partier not partner |
| Tulane certainly has the most cachet. Plus, the quality of life is going to be the highest at Tulane. They’re all fine school though. |
| Correct. WashU has school of engineering and Emory only has it with GA Tech. But besides that how are Emory and WashU similar and different? |
| Emory has CS and Bioengineering. |
