lol same emory booster posting multiple times. sad

lol not a booster, I am the one who visited who liked but didn't love it! But everything abt Hopkins is just dreary.

Thats says a lot about the students applying. Yes, students at say NYU or GT might have them as their first choice. But they're lesser students. Its great Emory is able to capture students with 1540's aiming high.

You're not smart. Over 50% of students that enroll at Emory are accepted ED. That means Emorys median test scores are decided before the RD round. Which also means students with a 1510 are applying ED to Emory, but somehow they couldn't get into anywhere else?

Page 86. Emory has a 20% acceptance rate from Montgomery County schools and significantly lower yield than all of the above. All others are low single digit acceptance rates.

Georgetown has a 22% acceptance rate higher than Emory. So what what are you talking about?

how about you compare 3.7/510 for other schools then. this is a farce

Other schools wouldn’t write committee letter if they don’t think you have a chance. Hard to find data on this for other schools. If you have any information, please share.

Washu has no committee but has a 85% acceptance rate. Plenty of schools like this. 65% is pathetic.

It’s hard to compare apples to oranges. But WashU table says average gpa 3.82, average mcat 516. The applicant standard is high. But this is not a direct comparison.

Also Washu table says there are about 200+ applicants per year. That number is small compared to Emory.

Love WashU and Emory both. Fine with me if one has slightly better results than the other.

Yes, 3k students would totally turn down emory if they had a better shot at top 15 schools. only 80% of emory's class is in the top 10% where as it is 95%ish plus at other top schools. It's also why yield is at 40% despite all that scholarship money and alternate campus gaming.

Only 10% of Emory students receive scholarships.

95% of posts say no, but 5% of posts by the same emory booster with multiple personality disorder says yes.

You're trying too hard. WashU gives committee letters, Emory does not.

Definitely. DCs and all I applied to Emory, would never have been interested in Hopkins. Emory at least has normal, smart, social, attractive students. Hopkins is just stem bots in an atrocious neighborhood. Hard pass.

lol not a booster, I am the one who visited who liked but didn't love it! But everything abt Hopkins is just dreary.

I don’t understand why some people here are trying to convince others to stop bashing Emory by bashing Hopkins instead. These are both good schools. Neither is dreary. Both have great student bodies with many happy and impressive students doing a lot of normal college things, including parties and sports and spending time in their respective urban areas. I’ve spent lots of time at both and they both have lovely campuses. Many different, but some overlapping, strong academic programs. Spreading mean and untrue stereotypes about Hopkins isn’t convincing anyone here to like Emory better. I love both schools.

15% of freshman: https://provost.emory.edu/planning-administration/_includes/documents/sections/institutional-data/emory-common-data-set-2024-2025.pdf

Again, the freshman stats are not impressive. 25% of freshman had GPAs under a 3.74. Only 80% were ranked in top 10%. Emory's freshman are a cut below those of actual top schools.

It's cool to group Emory in with Duke, Vandy, Hopkins, Northwestern etc but then there's reality.

It's because they are insecure and trying to associate themselves with better schools.
