It's quite a change from 30 years ago, that's for sure.

There really are very few "safety" schools that are also major flagship universities. Clearly, there are some exceptions but other than Bama and the two Mississippi schools, the SEC schools are getting much harder to get in to.

And South Carolina

The top school in GA is Emory, those are the top public schools.

Nonsense.

UGA is a distant 3rd.

Maybe Emory is top private but it is close with Oglethorpe.

You can troll harder than that. I'm sure of it. I know several UGA Honor students rejected from Emory...both campuses.

Probably do. But that is because Emory is trying to lose its provincial label, which it can't (because of Oxford) and which UGA doesn't care about for obvious reasons.

Or... OR! Emory is the hardest school to get into within a 200 mile radius. There's only 4 schools in the south that matter on a global scale and Emory is one of them

Here are the stats for the early action accepted (not enrolled) class of 2027:

1370-1510 SAT and 32-34 ACT (and all applicants were required to submit scores)

4.16-4.38 GPA and 8-13 AP Classes

1370 is 94-95 percentile. The low range of kids accepted to Georgia is a top 5-6 percentile test score? That's absurd for what is a really good school. DC is IB diploma candidate so will have the requisite APs and GPA but not close on the test score. So glad this will be over soon.

How is that even possible?

Perhaps was stated clunky. It's a reference to the comparability of AP/IB classes mentioned by those stats. DC has like 12 or 13 IB classes (not 100% sure) as a diploma candidate and also has the GPA range mentioned. Doesn't have a close test score, unfortunately.

No, just no.

You just can’t help tripping over yourself into the ridiculous. Maybe ask your smart dc Emory public policy major to help you.

Emory is a great school but no need to take shots at UGA and Ga Tech. They are both good schools, especially Ga Tech. Ga Tech is an elite engineering school and well-known on an international level.

GA Tech is a safety school for MIT.

It’s not a safety for anyone.

Exactly, Gatech had a 10 percent oos acceptance rate for EA this year, RD will be lower.

EA is GTs harderst round, so RD won't be lower. Emory's overall acceptance rate is typically lower as GT hardest EA round. Last year GTs EA2 round was 13%. Emorys overall rate last year was 11% and its RD rare was 9% .

Emory takes well over 30 percent of the kids who apply ED1.

Private schools typically have ED while public schools EA. Elite privates do that because they can get strong students to apply and commit early. If UGA or GATech switched EA to ED would the caliber of students that apply early remain the same for them? Seems as if UGA and GT don't think so or they would offer ED by now. Emorys tests scores are higher even before test optional, with ED and without engineering.

Most public universities won’t lower themselves by offering ED.
Of course UVA is an exception

ED is the easiest way for schools to maintain yield. I think it’s commendable that top public universities don’t offer ED for the most part.

Why risk over or underenrollment?

Emory also has one of the highest percentages of international students. They definitely utilize all the “cook the books” tricks to preserve their ranking.

On the positive side, they also take a large number of Questbridge students.

It is absolutely not better than GT. You all seriously underestimate these schools.
