Games what? Tufts has a 42% ED acceptance rate. That includes both ED1 and 2.

Actually it's way higher than that. Tufts hasn't reported in several years and there's definitely a reason why. It's not that selective at all in ED becuase it's not many people's first choice. That said, I'd attend there over Tulane or Wake anyday. Think I'd pick BC over Tufts, however.

So to get this straight, everyone applies ED because it's so hard to get in RD. Tufts gooses their numbers by using ED extensively. Tufts is not a popular first choice, though.

I guess I don't follow the logic. (Alabama-bound?)

Everyone doesn't apply ED to Tufts, the only apply RD.

who cares. two undesirable schools.

Undesirable with almost 40k in applications? Emory makes ABC nightly news with common announcements to financial aid. Only elite schools are capable of that.

it’s a back up to a backup. overall yield is an absurd 38% even with ed and oxford campus gaming of stats. Really pathetic

Oxford lowers the yeild not raises it. Emory could raise the yeild by lowering the stats if they really wanted to. Or going more TO like Vandy or NYU. They're doing the right thing in my opinion.

Has your kid applied to Emory or to Emory-Oxford? Has your kid been admitted to Emory or Emory-Oxford? Have you ever visited Emory’s Oxford campus? No one at Emory pretends that they are at a T-20 school because they know they’re not. No one pretends that Emory or Emory-Oxford was their top choice. No one pretends that Emory has all the bells and whistles that include a football team and a real college town. But the fact is, there are plenty of kids on both campuses with 1500+ SAT’s and impressive profiles. And there are plenty of people at Emory who are too busy enjoying what Emory and Emory-Oxford (and Atlanta!) offer, to spend much time looking up at the the T-20 schools or looking down upon and disparaging the T-30 to T-70 schools.

Folks, please find something else to do. This thread is in no way productive and it makes us all look bad.

If the school is a good fit for your kid, and they enjoy it and learn there, it is a great school.

These interminable debates are useless.

so why doesnt it go test required like most actual good schools? because it doesnt want yield to be in 20s

Strange. BC's average SAT is 1490 with a 15% acceptance rate. 4,421 applied ED, with only 1,331 being accepted. Keep telling yourself that it is a "safety" school. After a while, you might actually believe it.

Safety/Match for T25s

No school is a safety with 15% acceptance rate.

Every school in the T25 have been ranked in the T20 at one point in time. Give it a rest, you sound mentally ill. Over 5k kids apply ED to Emory, its plenty of kids first choice. Now can your kid get in?

Actually its yeild hasn't increased much since TO. Its was around 35% before TO its about 40% now. The students that apply RD to Emory are likely only applying because its T20, (yes Emory is T20, T20 doesn't mean only 20 schools. Theres a 4 way tie at 20 currently, will likely change next year). Add that Emory accepts only top 1% students, well they aren't getting into lower ranked colleges only higher ones, so the yeild is lower.

Doesn’t matter what usnews says in terms of rank.

“If you are about money…” You realize that many people can’t afford a $$$ college? If you make between 200-300k, it doesn’t make sense to be full pay at an expensive private. Many people in that income bracket weren’t always making that type of money.

Their lower endowments make me concerned they'll lose brand power in the Trump era; while costing the same as T20/25 schools. If DC can't get into Georgetown or similar, should they just go to UMD?

My kid at a school in 30-40 range had close relationships with professors, including one who became his honors thesis advisor and helped him pick his grad program. That prof also introduced him to other faculty in the same field from other schools who pulled him into research and practical work. Also, profs pro-actively pushed him to do research in their labs and to publish essays. That’s what we were hoping for from the LAC experience, and we were really happy DS got it. A pointy elbowed go getter who knows exactly what they want wouldn’t need that, but it was a big help to my (too) laid back DS.
