Emory ED is out

So how are so many kids in this area with such stats getting rejected from Emory? The schools here also skew about a year ahead in math and science than the NY/NJ high schools, and there are plenty if not more highly qualified kids from those areas so the answer is not the typical response I hear that kids here are disadvantaged because so many high stat kids. I think the high schools here just aren’t as well regarded as those in NY and Philly suburbs.

Huh?

Plus Emory is very weak on athletics. They don’t really care about that either.

False. Coaches at Emory have a very close relationship with admissions and can get almost anyone they want in.

Well to be fair Emory is a better school than Tufts, and NJ is over represented at Emory.
