an excellent *medical school* See: USF |
| What about the Oxford college of Emory? |
This is a dumb comment. Almost half the class is ED. All could have done that elsewhere. |
You cant read. Those that have choices in RD go elsewhere. Overall yield is complete trash at 37%. |
Oh look who's back resident Emory hater troll. |

Apparently math is a hater. |
Its not the math, its how you choose to interpret it. Just like I can say Emory receives the second most applicants amoung its peer group. Vanderbilt, WashU, Notre Dame, Georgetown, CMU, Dartmouth, and Rice. |

My kid is an athlete and loves it…but an athlete’s perspective isn’t going to be applicable to a non-athlete.
Biggest negative is that the school keeps Greek life under a very tight leash, which means a lot of the social life gets moved off-campus (though the few on-campus parties have been fun). He is positively surprised by the social cross-pollination with Ga Tech. Has been to several Tech Greek parties and often if Emory groups are meeting up at a bar/club in Atlanta, a large Ga Tech cohort is also aware and shows up. Sport has a very successful and loyal alum network that is helpful for the current team. Does say that there are tons of NYC/Northeast private schools kids. Not good or bad, just an observation. |
| Emory is very diverse and being near Atlanta and Georgia Tech is a big plus. My kid has enjoyed the events/festivals hosted by different cultural affinity groups both on and off campus. They have also enjoyed some of the attractions of Atlanta, such as pro sports, restaurants, etc. Emory understandably has a large pre-med cohort, but plenty of opportunities for humanities kids too. My humanities kid has enjoyed their classes and professors there. |
| No football of other spectator sports. Not a lot of school spirit, campus feels kind of dead, has a reputation for a lame social scene compared to others southern schools. Seems like most kids seek social life in the city, rather than on campus. Very pretty campus, tho |
Given that ED1 and 2, yield numbers are not great. |
+1 My DS is a freshman at Georgia Tech and I agree with the above. He absolutely loves Atlanta and he's from the Midwest. He can't wait to get back after break. |
dont forget waitlists and oxford campus too. emory waitlists over 100 kids in addition to all these other games for yield protection only to end up here |
My very social kid visited both and actually preferred GaTech. Campus seemed much more vibrant and better location actually in city, yet still plenty of green space. Plus ACC sports with stadiums on campus. |
