This for a back door, its probably the hardest backdoor in the world. Harder admit than Barnard. |
436/2900 = 15% yield. Literally almost no one wants to be there. Meanwhile you have this: https://provost.emory.edu/planning-administration/data/factbook/admissions.html 76% of the class were in top 10% of class rank and only 70% for Oxford. Emory/Oxford has never enrolled the top students and it never will. |
Meanwhile Barnard: https://barnard.edu/first-year-class-profile 91% in the top decile of their high school class rank (for those providing a class rank) Testing Data (for those reporting under our test-optional policy) SAT mid-50% range: 1470-1540 |
|
Also Barnard has a 9% acceptance rate with 1470 to 1540 vs oxford's 13% with a range of 1460 to 1550.
How on earth is oxford a harder admit? You emory trolls are something else. |
Simple solution to your rant. Don’t send your kid to Emory or Emory-Oxford or BC or Wake or Tulane or NYU or whatever other school raises your blood pressure. Send your kid to your state flagship or to HYSPM or WASP and live happily ever after. |
They are already at HYPS. I'm here to fact check. |
| Back to the original topic- for the T-30 to T-70 schools, it may come down to whether the parents want to shell out for the experience when weighing those options with their state flagship. Many private high school kids aren’t going to go to the T-20 universities or T-5 LAC’s, but most of these same kids can get into their state flagship and the private colleges outside T-20. Everyone’s entitled to their own choices, as long as they’re fully informed. This debate trickles down to paying for private K-12, for club/travel teams, special summer enrichment, college admissions consultants, and a whole bunch of other things that people outside this milieu can’t imaging paying for- is it worth it? |

What about the schools between HYPSM and Emory/BC/Wake/Tulane/NYU? Let's say Chicago/Washu/Vandy? |
Yes to chicago no to others. |
|
I don't know about emory but tulane, nyu and wake have baddies from umc families -- which is a pretty big selling point if you have a umc son.
The dating pool is more curated. |
Chicago: Econ WashU: premed olin Vandy: premed Emory: premed Goizueta BC: Caroll NYU: Stern Tulane: premed |
Avg GPA is a 3.83, you're such a troll. Emory doesnt weight freshman gpa in admissions thats probably why Top 10% is a little lower. |
| BC business school is mediocre. |
Washu , Emory, vandy are peer schools. Chicago is a step above them. |
