Easiest T25?

People developing their own tiers here is laughable. How long are those posts taking too?
The subjective opinion of a rando on an anonymous online forum makes USNWR and the other ranking "authorities" look good. The posts, with no underlying data or info, convey the info as if the authors are authorities too. We have some confident folks in the DMV

If you look at outcomes, kids graduating from those 3 schools are not in same league as kids from Columbia/Cornell/ND/Rice and even WashU/Emory.

Bizarre. But whatever floats your boat. Your posting this here, doesn't make the school "better".
But maybe it makes you feel better?
Tiers don't even matter unless you are defensive about your choices.
Which perhaps you are.


__________________________________

Personally I split by category (Private/Public/SLAC) and then go by tiers rather than specific "ranks" which I find a bit silly, even with tiers the cutoffs can be fuzzy, but better than a literal numeric list.

Private top tier: HYPSM
Private second tier: Brown, Cal Tech, Chicago, Dartmouth, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Penn
Private third tier: Boston U, Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Cornell, Emory, Georgetown, Notre Dame, NYU, Rice, Tufts, USC (Southern Cal), Wake Forest, Washington U (St. Louis)

Public top tier: Michigan (Ann Arbor), UC Berkeley, UCLA, Virginia (UVA)
Public second tier: Florida, Georgia Tech, Illinois - Urbana Champaign, North Carolina (UNC Chapel Hill), Texas (UT Austin), UC Davis, UC Irvine, UCSB, UCSD, William & Mary, Wisconsin
Public third tier: Many... like 30

SLAC top tier: Amherst, Pomona, Swarthmore, Wellesley, Williams
SLAC second tier: Bowdoin, Carleton College, Claremont McKenna, Middlebury, Smith, US Military Academy - West Point, US Naval SLAC third tier: Barnard, Bates, Colby, Colgate, Davidson, Hamilton, Haverford, Richmond, US Air Force

I think whomever posted this meant to include BC rather than BU. And with that change, historically all of these schools are ranked in thr 20 to 30 range for literally decades. Btw, you seem like a miserable person, Emory mom.

I’m not Emory mom?
I just know about how it works at our private.
Why do you care so much?

Because I took 10 seconds to respond to your nasty post, I care so much? Btw, I have two kids at what are considered the top privates in our city, and there is literally no difference in the kids accepted to these schools. Indeed, in the past two cycles, the BC, Wake, and Tufts kids have been more accomplished than the Emory kids because those schools are seen as both rigorous and social, and accordingly more desirable. Parchment results support this for cross admits.

I really don't know why people say at my private as if your anecdotal evidence, that may be a lie, matters. Emory along with Georgetown have the wealthiest applicants in the country, that's a fact. BC,Tufts do not come close.

May be a lie? Lady, Emory is seen as distinctly not fun by most kids, and the kids who go there from our private are those who aren’t in the top twenty percent of the class, but desperately want to go to a T25 so they apply and get in ED1. If that’s what your kid wants, go for it.

It’s dismaying how many kids are pressured to compromise their college choices by committing to an ED choice like Emory (or any other college) for all the wrong reasons. That being said, I don’t think everyone at Emory applied their ED out of “desperation” to be at a T-25.

I feared our unhooked kid (top stats but not tippy-top and solid EC’s but not unique) was sacrificing a significant advantage when kid did not ED anywhere last year. I was afraid they would have regrets. I didn’t want to interfere with their decision-making and had to trust kid’s judgment and CC’s advice. Kid was fine in the RD pool- had some good T-50 choices and was happy in the spring. There’s a lot of pressure to ED and it seems to grow each year.

So, you couldn’t find any comparable private universities against which Emory wins cross admits, so you are using a slac and public university?

This is cope. Williams isn't just any slac. And winning 40% vs Duke is impressive, So is 50% with Georgetown. All of these schools are the same level as Emory or better. That's the point.

Was your kid rejected? You're proving my point, Emory wins some and loses some. Regardless it's still yeilds amazing students and it doesn't lose 100% to any school.

Uh no. Seems like you simply cherry picked

Why all the Emory hate? It’s just an expensive college like 100’s like it, that happens to be skirting T-25 and that happens to take a lot of kids ED. For those of us in the Southeast, it’s a very good private university in the region’s biggest city, an alternative for those who may want a smaller environment and/or don’t care about football (yes, that is possible in this part of the world), and not always a “last resort” or “desperate ED choice”.
