In what way? What is Tulane better than Emory at doing?

Tulane is better at enrolling students of the Jewish faith (41%) compared to WUSTL (26%) and Emory (17%)--although the Emory percentage seems low--especially at the law school.

What do the Jews have to do with prestige. Emorys white population is relatively low overall 33% give or take so the Jewish population would also be low.

Jewish posters may consider that among factors that make a school prestigious. I have read that Jewish people are the most intelligent culture/religion/heritage so a high percentage of Jewish students suggest that the academic standards are high.

I just googled this and there are many sources. (I love diversity of all types. I am not Jewish, but I want my children in school with lots of Asian & Jewish students as I feel comfortable that the academics expectations & standards will be very high.)

Well, this is refreshing.

This discussion has taken a crazy turn, but, because the assertion seemed implausibly low, it caused me to turn to Google and Emory is 53% white. Pretty diverse other than that.

Emory is 38 percent white now. Making sure that number stays nice and low.

Maybe the white students weren't good enough to get in?

And they are now debating on the ankle monitoring and bounty hunting of women. It will pass.

There is no way anyone should be sending a kid to Wash U right now.

Poo poo this all you want think I am crazy sure go ahead. I am not wrong.

MO just passed clothing requirements for it's house of reps if you think they are stopping there you are not paying attention.

Josh Hawley wants women in his state to stay home be barefoot and pregnant. If they vote him in again yeah MO is screwed.

You are smearing poo poo all over your own walls with this nonsense. Please seek help.

+1 on the poo
Need a definition of “woman” too

WashU/Emory are more like Georgetown/Rice peers while Tulane is more like SMU/GW’s peer. In other words Tulane is a step or 2 below in terms of academics and prestige, but it’s probably more fun overall.

People on DCUM are anti-Tulane. Tulane is ranked #44. SMU and GW are in the 60s and 70s. They are not equal in academics and prestige.

They’re all great schools but you should consider the school environment. They all have beautiful campuses and in cities w lots to do BUT speaking as someone who has spent a lot of time in all 3 cities, I would be most nervous as a parent for my kid to be in STL or New Orleans. Both high crime cities. I’d feel much less worried if they were at Emory. It’s in a really nice area.

Emory is in a much better city than WashU. And although WashU is higher ranked, I feel Emory is more well known.

Even Tulane considers SMU and GW as peers (along with the likes of Syracuse and U Miami).

+1 Asian and Jewish students tend to be very intelligent. Many are brilliant when it comes to academics.

FWIW our DC is at Tulane on a substantial merit scholarship. Those are harder to get at Emory; not sure about Washington U. Tulane isn’t all that big so DC has gotten to know professors and has a mentor in each of DC’s two majors. GPA is high and good opportunities for leadership, working with mentors, Greek life, study abroad and career paths. This might be true at many schools, but I’m just noting DC’s experience at Tulane.

Sounds great. Lucky that your DC is having a great experience.

For what it's worth my nephew transferred from Emory to Michigan b/c there wasn't enough school spirit at Emory and sports. with that said, my sister loved Emory. though it was a lovely, well run school.
