Wash U v Emory

Many students have no preferences one way or the other, but some do not wish to attend schools with >50% Asians (after counting internationals) if they can help it.

And many of these Asian Americans don't want to be at Emory. They're only there because they didn't get into the Ivies. Reddit is full of Asians trying to transfer from Emory to top15 schools. It's literally a cliche on there.

The Emory cheerleader sounds unhinged. It makes the school a massive turnoff. Let it go. We get it- your kid goes there. Was he also rejected by washu?

This is racist lol. Of course Washu boosters would stoop to this level.

Mind you, Emory has a higher freshman retention rate than washu.
Emory is 96% vs WashU 95%. But keep telling yourself what you want to hear. Emory receives 10k more apps than WashU but no wants to go there.... if you say so.

What’s the difference in freshman class size?

The schools at the Wash U/Emory selectivity level were reaches for my Asian kid (who did not even apply to any Ivies or T-10’s). Not fair to label everyone there as an Asian Ivy reject. Many kids are thrilled to have the chance to attend schools like that and for many, it’s their top choice.

WashU is a great school (Emory not so much), but how is it different from an Ivy reject?

I dont think they're the same level of selectivity anymore. Emory is more selective, but it depends on how broad your selectivity groups are.

Sorry, "More selective" from a school that admits 37% of their class from students that refuse to submit test scores is hard for me to get behind.

Its 33% that don't submit and thats much lower than WashUs 45%. So what are you talking about?

And yet many here would be lucky for their children even to make a third tier school rather than have to go to Auburn or University of Florida or Virginia Tech or wherever. So Emory is still an extremely privileged institution and a great choice.

Literally no one has ever been rejected by Wash U who go into Emory.
