Ivy League grads apologize for their kids going to Emory.

Apologize to whom? This is just a bizarre statement and use of the word “apologize”.

For the DCUMers who swear Emory is a Strivers second choice and parchment is lying.

Cornell 2x
Umich
McGill 2x
Hopkins
WashU 2x
Berkeley
USC 2x
BC
NYU
Gatech 2x
CMU
Etc

I mean, I have no opinion on Emory either way, but Reddit is your "source" - and you actually believe random internet posters? Too funny.

Op, can you please make me understand why you care? Did you go there? Does your kid go there?

Some people don't think the school is as good as you think it is. What is the point in arguing about it?

NP. I'm curious if English is not your first language, which is fine! But like, you know, what an apologist is, right? That's the sense they're using the word in.

It's absolutely not a bizarre usage.

Nice try…but an apologist is quite different than someone who apologizes even though they share the same entomology.

So if you are claiming they are defending a controversial choice to attend Emory…which again is a bizarre take…then they are apologists.

However, one apologizes to another for offending or otherwise aggrieving that person.

So, I ask again…to whom is the Ivy League parent apologizing to for sending their kid to Emory…their own child?

Holy moly. I can't tell if you are being purposefully obtuse or you're really just that much of a dumbass.

Picking and choosing, must be your forte.

Apologize?! Pp? I think you mean justify, and Frankly Emory is more difficult to get into today than any ivy 20 years ago, IE when any parent would have went to said Ivy.

I would hope that the Ivy grads apologizing for their kids being at Emory went into the college admissions process understanding that it’s not like it was for them 30 years ago.

It’s not picking and choosing to point out that a thread shared to make a brag point doesn’t exactly do that.

Not understanding simple points must be your forte.

Add Northwestern, Tufts and CMU for DC.

It was meant to refute rather than brag, but if you say so.
