Washu is more pre-md/phd

Than Emory? Definitely false. Lots of kids pick Emory for proximity to the CDC.

Not sure how you can believe this. Im confident Washu has a much higher % of premed students. Sure there’s the cdc, but I doubt that’s the difference maker in magnitude lol. You can also check LinkedIn and see the difference. Emory’s business school is also double the size of WashU’s.

Your confidence is misplaced, 20 percent of students apply to medical school from both Emory and Wash U.

Not that I don’t believe you but do you have a source? According to Emory’s own website, 350 applied in 2023. Emory’s average class size is around 2000. That’s not 20%. https://prehealth.emory.edu/outcomes.html

Their matriculation rate of 65% is also lower than WashU’s

https://www.emorywheel.com/article/2023/05/as-emorys-school-of-medicine-acceptance-deadline-approaches-students-report-competitive-admissions-process

I guess they rounded up in the article by saying “about 1/5th”? Still, 65% vs 85%? Washu is clearly more pre-md

Honestly, I don’t really care. The lengths the Wash U/Tufts/Emory parents go to distinguish their school from one of the others is quite ridiculous. They are all very similar schools, and no dog in this fight as my kids don’t attend any of them.

I was just responding to an inaccurate claim with some numbers. “Lengths” is actually funny. Anyway, the three are demonstrably different and if you had kids at any of them or attended one, you’d actually have a different opinion.

There was no inaccuracy. The article said 20 percent of the Emory class was premed after two years.

Lots of kids apply to Emory and Tufts (including both my kids and several of their friends). In or near great cities, in that "sweet spot" in terms of undergraduate size, and attract very bright, motivated kids but not cutthroat. Sure, there are probably some pre-MBA types that are much more attracted to Emory than Tufts and some kids interested in International Relations who are more interested in Tufts than Emory, but it's not as if you can't get a solid education in almost anything at either school and in terms of "vibes" they have a lot of similarities.

Overall I agree with you. Just want to add that Tufts has lots of pre-mba type kids too. It has an excellent Econ department and very active finance clubs that place kids well.

Dcum is desperate to pair the two schools for some reason.

Because they are peer schools with similar attributes. That’s the reason.

They are not peer schools, Emory is a level above.

They have similar amounts of premed students, both have around 400 apply to med school every year

Wash U is also 20 percent premed. It claims a higher med school acceptance rate which I don’t give much credence to because schools calculate this in different and sometimes misleading manners by manipulating the denominator.

Nice sneaking Michigan in there. It's not a reach, compared to Emory.

Keep in mind the original question was about which one leaned more preprofessional vs pre md/phd. If you’re saying Emory has more pre md/phd vibes, you’re saying Washu is relatively more preprofessional. To most people, that’s not really a reasonable statement.

Premed is pre-professional.

+1 Michigan certainly is the outlier there. our Scoir indicates UMICH is about as competitive as Emory, slightly less competitive than UNC OOS and UCLA OOS (5 kids per year get into each with a lot of Mich overlap), and Mich is FAR less competitive than ivies/Stan/Duke, even with cornell being the relatively easy ivy it still is harder than mich.
