Totally agree. Emory is a great school. There is at least one poster who really seems to have a grudge towards Emory. Even though the poster swears their DC was accepted, I don't believe it.

Emory mom! Can’t stop being nasty even during holiday season.

This thread is Anonymous, stop assuming everyone that defends Emory is me or a booster.

If ED2 has the same increase, would it be better to RD?

Your writing style and sentiments give you away.

I am a recent positive poster to Emory threads and I am neither

I'm an Emory parent (not the earlier one). My kid was 3.9 gpa at a big 3 with great and unique extracurricular activity and Ed-ed at Emory bc of anxiety- did not want to wait it out at Ivy League Schools. They were accepted. I would have preferred they waited to see at the top 10 schools, but they love at Emory.
I view the peer schools as Wash U, Vanderbilt, Tufts, maybe low level Ivy like Cornell or even Dartmouth. Kids are smart and motivated (yes maybe with something to prove since most did not get into top 10 schools) but perhaps that's a good thing.... to have something to prove in this world?

No test scores?

Tufts? More like Georgetown. And it seems like your child went TO, I don't think they would have gotten into Emory or the ivys RD, TO.

Both Tufts and Georgetown.

Early applications are up 20-30% everywhere.

No, apps up 13% at GaT. Duke up 6%.

Emory sure it likes to make sure all ED applicants are accepted. Having such a big backdoor way into a college is not a bad thing. If it had to rely on just admitting from regular decision its yield rate would plummet. So Tulane, Emory, etc. have to compensate.

Tufts not a peer school.

This
Look at the schools not making announcements about their ED stats for the first time.
