Since Emory is at the same position of almost 70% of the class being early decision, I wonder if they will start taking a fewer number going forward?

Where is the 70% figure coming? Each class has 1830 kids and they accepted 965 through ED1 = around 52%.

Do they typically take another 18% in ED2?

Emory's Atlanta campus does not have 1830 freshmen, but 1426

965 is the total for Oxford and Emory.

805 are Emory so that’s 56%.

Last year, according to Emory:
EDI
Emory University admitted 865 Early Decision I (ED1) applicants on Dec. 13 with a 32% acceptance rate. In total, 705 students were admitted to Emory College of Arts and Sciences (ECAS) and 364 were admitted to Oxford College, with 205 of those students being admitted to both campuses, according to a University press .
https://www.emorywheel.com/article/2023/12/emory-admits-early-decision-i-applicants-into-class-of-2028

EDII
Emory University accepted 345 Early Decision II (ED2) applicants to the Class of 2028 on Feb. 7, with Emory College of Arts and Sciences (ECAS) admitting 267 students at a 12% acceptance rate and Oxford College admitting 139 students at an 11% acceptance rate, according to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Additionally, ECAS accepted 22 more ED2 applicants this cycle compared to last year.
https://www.emorywheel.com/article/2024/02/emory-oxford-admit-345-early-decision-ii-students-to-class-of-2028

The total number of freshmen reported in 2024-2025 by Emory is:
1,465 Emory-Atlanta
526 Emory-Oxford

For Emory Atlanta EDI 705 admitted EDII 267 admitted=972
For Emory Oxford EDI 364 admitted EDII 139 admitted=503

However, 205 students were admitted to both campuses. That is why you see the combined EDI + EDII rate for Emory Oxford as being 503 ED admits for ONLY a class of 526 (or an ED rate of 96% for Oxford!!!!). Of the 205 students admitted to both campuses, presumably the majority decided to attend Emory-Atlanta.

If you combine Emory Atlanta and Emory Oxford, there are 1,465 freshmen in Atlanta and 526 freshmen in Oxford. A total of 1,991 freshmen across both campuses. The combine EDI + EDII admit rate less the 205 students admitted to both is:972+503-205=64% of the freshmen enrolled at Emory's combined classes are early decision admits.


The data is right there and easily discoverable.

You don’t need to “discover” the data, they tell you in the first sentence that the ED1 acceptance rate for Emory University is 32 percent.

Don't be obtuse. The data above is the percentage of Emory's freshmen class (which for Emory Atlanta is almost 70%, less than that for Oxford) who applied ED, not the ED acceptance rate. Who said anything about acceptance rate?

Just come out and say that applying ED to Emory advantageous. What’s the RD rate for each campus?

Truly no one cares other than you. Everyone else relies on the publicly available numbers that don’t distinguish between campuses because there is no reason to.

The RD rate for Emory is 8%, I'm not sure about Oxford. But the total rate for Oxford is 12.7 percent so, it's safe to say around 9-10 percent RD for Oxford.

Schools like Tulane and Emory which take such a large percentage of the class early decision are smart. They don't have to play a guessing yield game when the students get admitted to other schools and decide to go elsewhere. So it is a win win for the school and the student. The school gets someone they want and the student receives a big admissions bump.

[Anonymous]

A lot of schools take a huge percentage of students early decision, not just Tulane and Emory. Syracuse, American, Lehigh all take >50% ED.

Emory mom is the only one disputing this. If her kid loves the school, she should be encouraging other talented kids to take advantage oof the relatively generous ED1 acceptance rate.

Emory receives double the amount of applicants ED than Tulane. Also Brown takes over 900 students ED as well.

Nice to see that places like Emory (considered a “sure” backup to Ivies/Ivy-ish schools in my high school circle early 90’s) are attracting so many ED applicants. Atlanta is booming and maybe that ‘s part of it too. I’m sure it’s still used as an Ivy backup for some, but it’s obvious from the ED rate that it’s a top choice for many.

Exactly! Emory's use of ED is how many colleges should do it. You can treat the ED round as your "safety" because of the much larger chance of admission. Since Emory allows you to ED both to Emory and to Oxford, for a student who really wants to attend, so long as their ducks are in a row, they'll get in. It doesn't matter if they fill most of the class with ED applicants. At the end of the day Emory gets a student who really wants to be there.

A huge misconception proven wrong every year. Students with amazing stats are rejected ED to both campuses

A good percentage of these are full pay which adds another big advantage for these types of schools.
