no brauner Washu

No one outside of people in academia and those looking colleges for their kids has any idea if WashU is top20 or top40. Seriously. It is the least well known good school. There are professionals and hiring managers who haven't heard of it period. Harsh but true.

Emory is far more well known.

Washu much better for med school. There is really no comparison. Sorry.

That isn't the slightest bit true. Emory is a huge med school feeder and the CDC is literally on their campus. I have no affiliation to either university but I'm an academic physician and have recently served on a medical school admissions committee.

Emory is far better. Period.

Uh oh Emory boosters are loose again. Even if you like Emory more, “far better” is a hyperbole.

WashU and Emoey are very similar, however overall Emory is a more well rounded school. If you want to go medicine, business, humanities, or interdisciplinary than Emory is better. Also the location, puts it over the top compared to WashU.

Stay with Emory

Curious are there any reasons other than location preference to choose Emory over WashU?

Emory is better known. Is better academically at more things.

i feel like the emory vs washu waitlist decision post was a false flag

a more apt comparison would be emory vs george washington. two overpriced privates

[Anonymous]

Both are good. In very different towns.

Because one of the best engineering schools in the country is literally next door.

Emory- 1510/34
WashU- 1530/34

Not much difference there, Emory also has more students report test scores as well, and a lower acceptance rate. So, Emory is likely more selective.

And Wash U famously and shamelessly manipulates its admission and yield rates to appear more selective than it actually is.

It’s funny Emory displays stats of admitted students in its class profile page instead of enrolled so as to inflate its perceived selectivity, something no other school does.
