A pretty normal thread on colleges that are similar to one another. Hit your head?

Don’t even bother looking, they are not meaningful. US News gets a 40 percent response rate to their reputations survey.

40% is good. Where can I find them?

Nevermind, found them. You have to buy a subscription.
Emory-4 2
WashU-4.1
Tufts- 3.8
Tulane- 3.7

DCUM is still trying to make Tufts happen.

What are the reputation scores for VA, MD, DC schools? I know there's a low response rate, just curious.

W&M:SUNY Binghampton
American: Macalaster

Binghampton specifically targeted trying to be W&M at one time, but they don't seem similar. American would need a corollary that is in D.C. D.C. is Georgetown > GW > American.

[b] BINGHAMTON not “Binghampton”

Tulane, SMU, Emory all cut from the same cloth.

Emory mom has been trying to make U.S.news reputation scores happem even though the response rate is abysmal.

A 40% response rate is higher than ther percentage of eligible voters who voted in this last election.

Be kind to Emory. Just doing its own thing down in Atlanta, occupying its own niche, away from the northeast corridor craziness. Same goes for Tulane. It occupies its own niche.

Tulane and Emory get more attention now because they are in the south. While they aren't academically elite like the northeast colleges they attract good enough students. The question is if it is worth it over the much cheaper state schools. Emory in particular has to compete with UGA for top Georgia students. That is pretty amazing considering how fast the trajectory of UGA has risen due to the Hope/Zell scholarship. So value conscious parents don't need to pay for an expensive private school where the outcomes won't differ.

There will always be some market for expensive, lower tier private schools just because some will want that experience. Since there are so few private schools like that in the south Tulane and Emory get a lot of attention.

What did I just read?! Emory isn't academically elite? And has to compete with UGA? What timeline are you from? UGA honors students can't get into Emory. No T25 or even T35 school is lower tier.

Emory has been made up of mostly NE students for over 50 years now, you don't know what you're talking about. And Emory and Tulane aren't peers never will be. And it's not just because of US News even though that's part of it. Emorys peers are and always have been WashU, Vandy, Georgetown, ND, Rice and a few others. I can't figure out what some on this board have against Emory but, your children aren't getting into the school regardless.
