[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wake is for those who want the “south,” but can’t cut it at Vandy, Emory, Duke, UNC, and UVA.  It is like Lehigh.  Meh. [/quote]

Why would anybody pick Emory over Wake? Yuck.[/quote]
Because Wake yikes while Emory is a semi top college.[/quote]
If emory is a semi top college, so is CMU, Washu, Rice , ND, Gtown, Umich, UCLa and Vandy right?? [/quote]
Of course. But the point is Wake isn’t in this league. It’s not even T50.[/quote]

Wake is just below most of those, and there is no shame in that. I'm guessing that for most of those schools, a majority would choose the other ones over Wake, but there would be a critical mass who would choose Wake for a variety of reasons. I could make a compelling argument for choosing Wake over most of them, but they are very specific to certain kids (i.e. Wake would be a happier college experience than CMU, plus CMU is pretty specialized in its areas of excellence so if that's not your think, they are actually pretty close).[/quote]
Just below is subjective. If By just below you mean if im paying full price for the Emory tier schools, ill only pay 40% for Wake tier schools then yes, its just below. [/quote]

Emory and wake are the same tier.  Wake actually wins cross admits.[/quote]
24 vs 51 is not the same tier. Most students arent applying to both schools. In fact Wake doesn't get that many applications to begin with.[/quote]

My kids are at top private in our city, far more kids apply to and attend Wake than Emory.  And kids going to Emory are not in top 20 percent of class.[/quote]
Why would this matter? Its one school, Emory receives over 40k apps, and over half go to a private school. [/quote]
