What is with the eye roll emoji? You got into Emory so you think NYU and Tulane are a slam dunk? Emory is not that great…

Way better than Tulane

Disagree strongly.

We can agree to disagree then?

At Conn and Trinity

Congrats! So happy someone in the area got in - few people stop by the college fair table anymore. As they are passing by, they tell me it’s too hard for their kid to get in.

Which did your child choose? These are all on our list!

Berkeley and UCLA and heads and leaps above Oxy and Scripps

And Scripps and Oxy are TOTALLY different kinds of schools than the huge state schools that are Cal and UCLA. So this question wasn’t for your opinion on rankings (which I already know, thanks) but where the PPs child landed.

Yet I went to Oxy and perhaps could have been of help to you but you clearly don’t want my “opinion”

I am asking the PP where their child went..... plain and simple

Many of these are obviously fake/joke posts.

My kid got into UVA and Notre Dame but was waitlisted at Richmond and William & Mary.

Yup. Radford is rough. Yale and MIT are safeties.

I can taste the bitterness through the screen. Who wouldn't expect to get into Tulane and NYU after getting into UCLA and Emory? Tulane and NYU will never be elite, they're known for yield protection, especially Tulane. Emory sits pretty in the top 25 with its 11% acceptance rate. Let's see if you or your DC could get in...

I'd put them in a similar category -- admittedly, haven't research either closely.

Oh please don't be silly.

The game has shifted so try to keep up. It is not yield protection at Tulane it is filling the class early. Most of the results discussed here that cause a second glance are because people don't account for how important the ED part of this has become.

Yield protection is real. Obviously, most of these people do not understand it or know about it.

There is no planet where Georgetown is a safety.

Agreed. That's the weirdest assertion on this entire thread.

This is surely a lie.
