+1 even if Emory is easier to get into they have same reputation and better for business, nursing, and I think medicine too so it evens out. The acceptance rate is 10 % so it's not like it's much different, and I'm not sure if that 10% includes Oxford, If so, then pp is right about Emory College. Either way these are all elite schools, there is a study ( I'll see if I can find it) that said Emory and Georgetown had the highest percentage of private school students at their schools. So obviously many find value in Emory.

Did you just say northeastern is more selective than all those schools? I think you need to double check your info buddy…

Northeastern has a 3% acceptance rate, test scores as also the same.

This! Same people begging for financial aid and scholarships are scoffing at Emory. No doubt it will rise up the rankings. Heard they raised a billion last year.

I work in finance; PE.

Yes we see a lot of Rice. Started seeing Vandy last year, but agree it’s a lot less than Duke.

Lots of ppl defensive about Emory….weird!

It’s fine. It’s good. But a step below Duke, Rice and Vanderbilt (in that order).
Emory is in the top 25-30.
Not top 20.

I work in IB so maybe Rice placement in PE is a bit better, but for IB it's Duke then Emory, then UNC/Vandy for southern schools.

I imagine the PE firms that are tech centric, Rice might have better placement there but for more traditional firms Vandy, Emory ,Duke are much better.

There's a bunch of PEs in Atlanta, I know plenty at Roark Capital and such. PEs are much more regional than IB.

Did you just say northeastern is more selective than all those schools? I think you need to double check your info buddy…

No it does not lol. Northeastern had 1 year of a 7% acceptance rate because they kept sending kids to satellite campuses without counting them as accepted students

No, they accepted more than 5000 kids not including whoever was accepted to satellite campuses, or NU-In, or NU-Bound, meaning in reality they accepted more like 10000 kids but they don’t disclose that. 3100 is the number they expect to enroll across all their programs

Rice is a small school. Think their students are generally more inclined towards science, engineering, and medicine rather than finance. Vanderbilt seems to be more of a feeder into consulting. If they do go into finance, it's usually Dallas, Atlanta, or Denver. For IB and PE, among southern schools, Duke is definatley the most well represented

Inclined toward consulting doesn't mean a whole lot when MBB doesn't hire that many grads. Rice has poor placement outside of Engineering and engineering isn't prestige dependent like finance, consulting, law, Medicine.
