Emory ED1 today? Anyone applied?

[Anonymous]

To the Coke money, Emory never turned its back on those that gave. They like many other southern peers focused on academics over politics, unlike the Ivys, and systematically have put the universities priorities over political whims of outside forces.

DS applied last year regular and was waitlisted but this year applied ed 1 and was rejected. We had better scores, ecs, etc. anyone know why this is? 3.9UW 1450.

What did you do in the gap year? Gap year candidates often perform worse not better unless they have a phenomenal achievement for a gap year.

Why didn’t he aim higher?

I could see doing that pre-med. You may not want to go higher. No value in doing so.

Emory is no longer a regionally appreciated university, it truly has gained ground into the leagues of its historic competitors. Why spend four years in Ithaca when you can spend four in Atlanta? Go Eagles.

This has been the case for 15+ years now. DCUM just hates this school so the perception of it is colored. But besides Vanderbilt, Emory receives more applications than its peers.

It isn’t just dcum perspective. Emory loses consistently on cross admits per Parchment to its peers, and even schools Emory mom argues aren’t good enough to be its peers. A good number of kids strategically chose it because of its high ED acceptance rate relative to peers.

That said, it’s a great school academically, congrats to the new admits!

Emory loses with some peers but does well with others according to parchment.
Loses to Vandy, and WashU but wins with UNC and UVa. Tie with Georgetown, and Dartmouth.
Also I dont see why this matters, They get 37k applicants more than WashU, Rice, Notre Dame, Georgetown schools some think are better for some odd reason. Also Emorys ED acceptance rate is lower than washu, Tufts, and NYu.

Also loses to Wake, Michigan and USC.

Oh no a Wake booster sneaking there way in here. Wake is the best school outside the Top50.

And yet still preferred to Emory.

Wake is no Emory. Wake is a dressed up University of Richmond at best, maybe a more refined High Point.

This really makes Emory look bad then, as Wake wins cross admits.

If Wake tries hard enough it could be ranked as high as Emory one day. Just not today.

For Parchment, unless the data is color-coded then it really doesn't mean anything because they don't have enough data..

So, the Emory vs. Wake results don't mean anything..don't know about the other schools

Just want to say congrats to those accepted to Emory. Our oldest had a phenomenal experience at Emory. Great balance of academics, social and career placement. He is now super successful and on a great life/career trajectory. Still feels connected to the school and likes hiring graduates.

Just got FA notice from Emory. It’s fantastic!

So nice to hear a positive review of Emory. It really has a lot to offer. My kid was lukewarm at best about the SLAC’s and state flagship, but Emory and a couple other mid-sized urban schools appealed to them.
