Emory accepted 907 students ED this year out of 4851 applications. Or 18.6% acceptance rate. That's no different than the other T25 schools.

Doubtful as all the other top 25 schools have lower acceptance rates this year. Emory is well known as the least selective private amongst the top 25.

This is a lie. Notre Dame, Georgetown, CMU, WashU have higher acceptance rates. Even if you look only at ED1 ( which is a biased way to look at it) WashU has a 35% ED1 acceptance rate to Emory's 32%.

And how does Emory's freshman profile compare to Washu test score wise?

Emory 1490-1570
Washu1500-1570
So a 10 point difference

wrong - emory is admitted test range while washu is enrolled. go check ACT for admitted vs enrolled in my post

Emory enrolls noticeably weaker students with % submitting test scores all within similar ranges

I see a 30 point difference between Emory, WashU/Vandy. That's only 3 questions.

Oh please. So which is it, one second Emory yeild protects and most students apply ED, the next it's a backup. Stick to one narrative.

And 10% more students submit test scores are Emory so that likely accounts for the 30 point difference.

My kid chose NYU over Emory.

Different strokes for different folks. Emory gets close to 35,000 applications for a reason. and not everyone sees Emory as a backup. Some people actually want to to be there because it offers certain things and checks off other boxes (besides being T-25).

There is no easiest top school. there are easy majors and hard majors. it is much harder to get into Cornell Eng and Cornell CAS than ILR and HumEc Cornell.

Good point.
Cornell Hotel Management is one of the easiest.
CMU ED is one of the easiest but not for College of CS or even Engineering.

It depends on your HS?

Our private can get 4 ED into WashU and 3-4 into Emory…
Usually kids with no shot elsewhere in T25.

It depends ENTIRELY on the high school. At my one child's private school WashU and UVA require a 3.95+ year-in and year-out. They're literally HYP level.
Cornell and Michigan take kids way down the GPA line.

My other kid's private has very little luck with Michigan (requires a 3.95) but gets kids into UVA with much lower grades.

No. UVA is not anywhere close to getting into an Ivy at 21%. The Ivies are 3-5%. And for the kids that get in RD closer to 2%. They are near impossible. Look how many get into UVA in APS or Loudoun or Fairfax. Tons. Ivies virtually nobody.

This. To be unhooked and get in means an amazing kid.

Or lucky or rich.

Alternatively, go to Harvard Extension and say you went to Harvard.

This. The differences in ranges between Vandy/WashU/Emory are likely explained by differences in percent reporting. Hopkins is the only one with materially higher scores.

But all of this is silly- these are all highly selective schools with holistic admissions. These is no way of knowing how your student will be evaluated against the pool their in for that school the year they apply. Assume their chances of getting into any of them is quite low (lowest for Ivy plus) and have them apply to a balanced list. Only ED to a school they would truly be happy at.
