[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My cousins daughter (GA resident) was accepted to Emory with a scholarship but waitlisted at UGA. Do with that information what you will. Because of UGAs football team this year being #1 as silly as it sounds is going to be very competitive to get into UGA. [/quote]

That’s only because she’s a GA resident and everyone in Georgia wants to attend in-state schools because it’s free.  Emory is not.  Also Emory is considered more of a grad school for Georgia residents and is not a place that your average HS grad wants to attend.  It’s jokingly called “long island university of Atlanta.”  I attended a large HS with grads going to schools all over the country.  I don’t know anyone who went to Emory for undergrad.  [/quote]
Emory has a lower acceptance rate for instate students than out of state.  The reason you haveng seen people go to Emory is likely because they were rejected. I've seem GA valedictorian rejected from Emory. The instate acceptance rate to Emory is about 2-3 percentage points lower than the overall rate. So the 9% RD acceptance rate for Emory is closer to 6% for instate students. [/quote]

Having looked at both schools, I don’t think they attract the same type of students.  GaTech has a more urban location, a big school energy, ACC sports and very traditional greek life.  Emory has almost no spectator sports, limited engineering majors, a very pretty but quiet campus tucked away in the suburbs. Both offer excellent academics.[/quote]

It's not in the suburbs. Not being downtown does not mean it's not in Atlanta. [/quote]
Most southern cities are sprawling.  [/quote]
