Did your DMV private do better than Westminster Atlanta?

Ha! Atlanta kids don’t want to attend Emory. It’s mostly a graduate school, isn’t a traditional college environment and most importantly…

It’s called “Long Island University of Atlanta.”

Wealthy southerners have 0 interest in Emory.

It takes more than wealth to get into Emory. If half of those UGA and Gatech students actually got into Emory, they would attend. Emory has a harder time yielding students at its level from schools with bigger brands. They're SAT avg is a 1550 this year, that's high enough to get into any Ivy/Vandy etc.

Wealth alone doesn’t help for UGA or GA Tech admissions either. Especially for in-state. Many of the in-staters who get into those two schools also have the stats to qualify for the Zell Miller scholarship

Stop with the stupid average sat if they have test optional.

I think it's an Emory thing. Already on their WL this year as well. It's tough there.

Can you explain? It's a tougher admit?

Zell Miller isn't hard to achieve. You need a 3.7 and a 1200 sat.

Over 80% submit test scores this year. Said at the accepted students day.

None of those schools have big sports except UGA, Vandy, Duke, Stanford...maybe Georgetown.

Westminster had the LARGEST non-boarding school endowment in the country!

Comparing a DC private to Westminster is unfair. There is also a lot more family money in Atlanta than DC.

Perfectly fair, and there's even more money in Atlanta than DC today, thanks to your president.

Who needs democracy when you can have $10 more bucks in your pocket? Rich pr*cks.

Only 20 percent away from being able to compare to the test required Ivies.

My Baltimore private does better every year, on a per capita basis, and it isn’t the only private in Baltimore with better results. Seems like the big 3 must as well

Too much Uga.

Emory can compete with Columbia, Penn, and Princeton then.

I don't think people realize how mediocre DC private schools are compared to private schools in other major cities.

Where kids choose to go to college has absolutely nothing to do with the caliber of the high school.

The lack of top lacs and very few ivy results makes this a pretty underwhelming group of results
