Lower isn’t better. It just means more applicants.

Lower means more popular.

This is a sad thread.

I grew up in the NE and never heard of the school when I was younger, but its actually a very well regarded college in Georgia.

I would say that if somebody plans to live in Georgia, Emory is as good as Georgetown name wise.

Who cares? Next year Georgetown may be up again.

Emory also has shady admissions practices to falsely lower their acceptance rate, namely in regards to Oxford College. They also have an insanely high Early Decision acceptance rate… I believe it was close to 40% this year.

And popular doesn’t mean better.

I’ve heard about the Emory’s Oxford college. What is it exactly? It seems to be a 2 year liberal arts college within the university. Is that all there is to it?

Lots of SLACs also heavily tilt the ED game in their favor. Many fill a majority of the class ED. Look at Haverford (46% acceptance ED and filling up 60% of a class), Hamilton (45%/58%), Wesleyan (41%/64%), Davidson (48%/59%), W&L (52%/59%), Colgate (50%/62%), Claremont-McKenna (35%/70%), Williams (40%/51%), Bucknell (55%/47.5%), Middlebury (47%/65%). Are these “insanely high”, because I don’t hear a lot people snubbing these schools. By limiting your competition to those who can commit to pay $80,000 a year without any promise of FA, you do increase your odds quite a bit.

Some bigger colleges do the same thing. Wake Forest (34%/53%), Villanova (58%/36%), Richmond (48%/44%), Northwestern (25%/58%), NYU (28%/58%)

This.

It's playing games to appeal to people desperate to say things like 'it has officially passed X university" etc.

Nice post. Thanks for sharing the ED stats.

No schools that use ED pass or are more prestigious than schools that use EA. G'Town in addition does not use common application...

Look at the percentage of student athletes at those SLACs and the ED numbers will make more sense.
