Emory>Wash U. No more needs to be said.

Yup. Emory is the best college in the history of human mankind. Bar none.

Was going to say this. Similar areas of town in each city, exact same kids. Pick the city you want to be in.

Both are second tier for kids who couldn’t get into Ivy League schools. Everybody has to go somewhere.

When we visited both campuses, WashU made us feel more welcome than Emory. They arranged for my kid to have lunch with a current student followed by a chat with a campus staff, which Emory didn't (and no one else did, to be fair). For the ranking-obsessed, 20 is a million times smaller than 24, allowing them to say their kids attend a t20. Emory's Oxford campus is also a bit of a head-scratcher, although applicants can certainly indicate they don't want Oxford. Based on these reasons I could see why students prefer WashU over Emory. My kid would, too, if these are the only options.

I dont see how the quality of life in Sl. Louis is better than Atlanta. Emory receives more applicants so it being T25 over T20 doesn't seem to deter them especially when WashU being Top20 is a technicality as its in 4 way tie at 20. Also Emory has better Business and nursing programs, the two most popular majors currently. Nice try though.

To each their own. I'm expressing my opinion, you yours.

Other than the quality of life point, those aren't opinion, just facts. Emory receives more applicants, emory has a higher ranked business and nursing program. Business and Nursing are the two.most popular majors in the country. Next time just keep it to theyre both great top ranked schools so you won't have to be embarrassed.

When you start boasting about the rank of your nursing program you've already lost the argument.

But you're boasting about a 4 spot difference in the ranking? That still doesn't help lower your acceptance rate as Emory is still harder to get into than WashU. Whats the point of bragging about Top20 when your easier to get into than the T25s?

Isn't Emory like almost 40% admitted without test scores?

It’s actually a lower percentage than WashU which is like 45%.

67% of Emory students submit test scores vs only 55% of washu students. Emory has a 14% increase in applications this year. If Emory accepts the same amount of students this year as last year, the acceptance rate will be 8%. The same as Rice. Northwestern, and Cornell. Seeing that more students submit test scores and the score range is the same,... Well the debate is over really.

Emory is now 44% Asian Americans, while WashU is 21%. Huge difference. Which mostly explains the "% submit test scores" discrepancy between the two schools. Many students have no preferences one way or the other, but some do not wish to attend schools with >50% Asians (after counting internationals) if they can help it.
