Here is the Emory troll who would relentlessly prop up the school. The same arguments in every thread involving Emory.

My DD hasn't even applied yet. No clue what you're talking about. Sorry, facts hurt your feelings. If Emory's acceptance rate drops to 7%, then that puts it in the Vandy/Rice/ Northwestern / Cornell group. If WashU goes from 12% to 14% because apps declined, then suddenly, WashU is 2x easier to get into.

Emory's acceptance rate last year was 14%. So a giant IF. But a desperate Emory mom can hope, can't she?

https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/colleges/emory-university
Um 10.29%

How about taking it from the horse's mouth? From Emory's website (https://news.emory.edu/stories/2025/03/er_admissions_class_of__2029_28-03-2025/story.html), for the class of 2029, 37,855 applied and 5,658 admitted, for an acceptance rate of 14.95%.

PP explained already. Emory college is still more selective, which is what most people are talking about when speaking of Emory. The sister campus will be more selective this year as well.

No it’s not- Emory’s acceptance rate is still a bit higher than WashU’s. But this isn’t OP’s question.

OP, both schools are well regarded but culturally they are very different. I’d recommend visiting both to get a sense of which best fits your personality.

yes it is.
https://apply.web.emory.edu/discover/about/first-year.html
Emory College- 10.3%
Oxford- 13.3%

https://emorywheel.com/article/emory-sees-slight-increase-in-acceptance-rate-for-class-of-2029-20250329

https://news.emory.edu/stories/2025/03/er_admissions_class_of__2029_28-03-2025/story.html

Both sources say 15% acceptance rate.

Emory mom/troll doesn't like facts to get in her way of propping up the school.

Which is crazy because it’s still a great school and 15% acceptance rate still makes it still highly competitive. No need to embellish but facts are facts.

Exactly. If my kid is an Emory, I couldn't care less where it's ranked and how prestigious it is. I care about whether they are happy, productive, and making the most out out of their experience. I wouldn't be on DCUM pouncing on any school comparison in hope my little disguised messages would somehow move the school up an iota.

You must be replying to yourself, you cant be this dumb. Emory College and Oxford College are different. Emory College acceptance rate is 10%. End of.
You can include Oxford College if you want just to prove a point, but that point will likely be short lived after this year due to the increase in apps at Emory.

+1, im not sure why they even published a "combined acceptance rate" as its logically inconsistent. Only 50% of their applicants apply to both campuses. My DS only applied to the Atlanta campus so the acceptance rate is 10%, your chances of getting into ONE OF THE TWO campuses IF you apply to both Emory college and Oxford is 15% as of last year. That 15% seemingly will change this year.

Is Oxford College not part of Emory? Does spending two years there lead to a diploma that says something other than Emory? Why does Emory on their official website and student newspaper reports an acceptance rate of 15%?

You have spent a lot of time and energy hoping that one day Emory's acceptance rate would drop to single digit, as if it's some sort of accomplishment, a badge of exclusivity. Why are you so fixated on something so insignificant and childish?

Because some, (most?) On DCUM have kids that are or would only apply to Emory College so the 15% for both is irrelevant. Also if Emory accepts the same number of students this year as last, the acceptance rate for both would be single digits.

Because it is. Slightly below 15%. This Emory poster has been trying to split hairs arguing this 10% thingy for awhile now.

Yield rates for 2029 (https://www.ivywise.com/blog/college-yield-rates):

Emory's Emory Campus 37%
Emory's Oxford Campus 17%
Rice 42%
WashU 49%
Cornell 63%
Northwestern 57%
Vandy 63%

Emory mom/troll won't be happy seeing these numbers. She wishes Emory would cut ties with its Oxford Campus and will cook up some reason on why Emory came in dead last. As much as she wanted it to be true, Emory is not a peer of Vandy/Rice/Northwestern/Cornell.

PP explained already. Emory college is still more selective, which is what most people are talking about when speaking of Emory. The sister campus will be more selective this year as well.

No it’s not- Emory’s acceptance rate is still a bit higher than WashU’s. But this isn’t OP’s question.

So College Board, US news, The Department of Education, and their own freshman profile are lying about Emorys Acceptance rate? You're relying on a newletter written by students for institutional information? We already said their is a difference between Emory College and Oxford Colleg.

ok, so what percent of accepted students enroll at Emory vs washu, cornell, northwestern, vandy?

Yield rates for 2029 (https://www.ivywise.com/blog/college-yield-rates):

Emory's Emory Campus 37%
Emory's Oxford Campus 17%
Rice 42%
WashU 49%
Cornell 63%
Northwestern 57%
Vandy 63%

Emory mom/troll won't be happy seeing these numbers. She wishes Emory would cut ties with its Oxford Campus and will cook up some reason on why Emory came in dead last. As much as she wanted it to be true, Emory is not a peer of Vandy/Rice/Northwestern/Cornell.

Take it up with them.

Now since we're comparing, now do percent submitting test scores.

Here is the Emory troll who would relentlessly prop up the school. The same arguments in every thread involving Emory.

My DD hasn't even applied yet. No clue what you're talking about. Sorry, facts hurt your feelings.

If WashU goes from 12% to 14% because apps declined, then suddenly, WashU is 2x easier to get into.

Emory's acceptance rate last year was 14%. So a giant IF. But a desperate Emory mom can hope, can't she?

https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/colleges/emory-university
Um 10.29%

How about taking it from the horse's mouth? From Emory's website (https://news.emory.edu/stories/2025/03/er_admissions_class_of__2029_28-03-2025/story.html), for the class of 2029, 37,855 applied and 5,658 admitted, for an acceptance rate of 14.95%.

PP explained already. Emory college is still more selective, which is what most people are talking about when speaking of Emory. The sister campus will be more selective this year as well.

No it’s not- Emory’s acceptance rate is still a bit higher than WashU’s. But this isn’t OP’s question.

OP, both schools are well regarded but culturally they are very different. I’d recommend visiting both to get a sense of which best fits your personality.

yes it is.

Emory College- 10.3%
Oxford- 13.3%

https://emorywheel.com/article/emory-sees-slight-increase-in-acceptance-rate-for-class-of-2029-20250329

https://news.emory.edu/stories/2025/03/er_admissions_class_of__2029_28-03-2025/story.html

Both sources say 15% acceptance rate.

Emory mom/troll doesn't like facts to get in her way of propping up the school.

Which is crazy because it’s still a great school and 15% acceptance rate still makes it still highly competitive. No need to embellish but facts are facts.

You must be replying to yourself, you cant be this dumb. Emory College and Oxford College are different. Emory College acceptance rate is 10%. End of.
You can include Oxford College if you want just to prove a point, but that point will likely be short lived after this year due to the increase in apps at Emory.

Is Oxford College not part of Emory? Does spending two years there lead to a diploma that says something other than Emory? Why does Emory on their official website and student newspaper reports an acceptance rate of 15%?

You have spent a lot of time and energy hoping that one day Emory's acceptance rate would drop to single digit, as if it's some sort of accomplishment, a badge of exclusivity. Why are you so fixated on something so insignificant and childish?

Because it is. Slightly below 15%. This Emory poster has been trying to split hairs arguing this 10% thingy for awhile now.

https://provost.emory.edu/planning-administration/data/common-data-set.html

The CDS profile says 10%. If they dont include Oxford on the cds profile then its not the same school. The newspaper might have Oxford College students as writers so it makes sense why they would include then there. However thats clearly isnt official.

As predicted, you wish Emory would cut ties with its Oxford campus. You don't even view an Emory student at Oxford to be a bona fide Emory student. All in the name of exclusivity. You must be really jealous of schools ranked above Emory. How sad!

Does your DC want to live and study in Atlanta or St. Louis for the next 4 years?

That's the big difference IMO.
