I don’t have a kid at either school and live in MD. I disagree that Emory is more prestigious that UVA, it’s pretty easy to get into Emory ED1, over 30 percent acceptance rate, but UVA oos is around 15 percent for ED. Further, UVA is far more popular as it offers a more complete college experience, with ACC sports. In fact, Emory lags behind similarly sized schools in number of applications received.

How many schools does Emory lag behind with 35k apps? Also Emory has 2 rounds of ED while the schools you're comparing it to only have one. Looking at Every school with 2 rounds of ED, the ED1 acceptance rate is much larger than the other 2. That includes schools like UChicago. What is important is that the majority of Emory students can get into UVa, but the reverse can't be said. Emory has higher test scores, higher GPA avgs, wealthier students, and historically a higher ranking, most people consider that more prestigious.

lol,this is nonsense.

UVA gets 44,000 oos applicants alone. Similarlu sized Vandy had over 47,000 applications last cycle.

Stop trying to make fetch happen. And I'm an Emory grad.

Emory has done a really good job over the past 30 years of making themselves more competitive than they used to be. Good for them, but it doesn't actually make the school any more fun, or the students any more good looking. I would have happily chosen UVA.

Emory cheated on the US News rankings. They take so many students ED just to make the school look more selective. Then half the school has to go to a campus named Oxford (not the REAL Oxford) which is like a junior college.

UVA total is 59,000…you saying only 15,000 were from VA?

Yet, UVA students couldn't get into Emory so they'll won't have to worry about choosing between them.

Not true. My high stats kid got in. Chose UVA Echols instead.

You're proving pp's point. Your child had to be good enough to receive a scholarship to UVA to get a regular acceptance to Emory.

Echols is not a scholarship. Do your research. Also your logic is wrong.

It’s the stats. Emory is more selective.

And Georgetown had 26k apps, Dartmouth had 31k apps, MIT 28k, Tufts 34k, Tulane 30k, Notre Dame 30k, WashU 33k. So it seems like Emory is doing just fine. Other than Tulane all of these schools are harder to get into than Uva despite having less applications.

This proves pp's point. Most UVa students are instate. They couldn't get into Emory especially when they clearly had an easy time getting into UVa instate.

Most of these schools are half or less the size of Emory.

Even the in state acceptance rate is lower than Emory’s ED1 acceptance rate.

Wash U and Emory are similar schools with very good academics, beautiful campuses, and not much else. In order to fill their class, they take a comparatively high rate of kids ED1. They are definitely the best shot for a kid who really cares about attending a top school but doesn’t particularly care about fun.
