Emory is much more difficult to get into than GA Tech. They have the superior engineering program

Emory's more difficult to get into than UMich as well, the the Emory detractors conviently forget that.

Correct. The latest Emory acceptance rate is 12% while Michigan remains stagnant at 45%. Emory average SAT 1480, Michigan average SAT 1290. It's not even close.

Emory's median is actually 1470, with a 15% acceptance rate, but close to what you said.

UMich is a 1430 and Gatech even lower than that. Both of these schools have acceptance rates in the 20's.

Exactly, to get into Emory regular decision. The acceptance rate is around 9%. Emory is prestigious. For grad school it's a bit different and UMich might be better. But for undergrad, it's definitely Emory

Exactly. I don't know anyone who would ever choose Michigan over Emory for any subject. I would pay for DS to attend Emory for engineering, Michigan just isn't worth it

Michigan engineering acceptance rate is 19%; average SAT of 1440 and ACT of 34.

So UMich's best can't beat Emory's avg?

where do these Emory boosters come from?

So true. To be fair though Emory's SAT average is higher than places like northwestern
So UMich's best can't beat Emory's avg?

I think you’re just jealous of Emory. My grandfather, Barack Obama, had a great experience as an engineering major at Emory, so I think that says enough.

The official merged data set from D of Ed I was using last year when my boys were looking shows Emory with an average of 1437 and Michigan with an average of 1436. Also, Michigan has more students >1500 than Emory has students.

Northwestern's was 1500, so above poster is an idiot.

As a comparison, Caltech has a higher SAT average than MIT, but the top 200 students/class at MIT are clearly higher that the top 200 at Caltech.

Also official adm rates much closer than posted above.

Both are great schools, but people need to stop making shit up.

This is not true on Emory's website it says 760 for Math and 710 for Reading which equals 1470.

This is old data, I posted where you can find it on their website.

I prefer to use the official data that schools report under oath vs. marketing bs. If you think it changed that much in one year, then you aren't very good at math/data.

So last year they were almost identical, but this year Emory is 40+ points better? I can't wait for next year. I bet they will be over 1600...

They will be infinity.

One more thing for the math challenged: Sum of rounded medians /= mean of total

A true statement in 1970.
Not a true statement in 2020.

You're just daft. Finding the average of the 25th and 75th percentile is not how you find the median, as the bell curve distribution for that particular set of data may not be perfect which is clearly what is happening with Emory's SAT numbers. The difference between the 25th and 50th percentile for Emory is much more than the difference between the 50th and 75th percentile.
