[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emory and Georgetown are different except for size and both being slightly outside a big city center. The student bodies are different (except for maybe the business and nursing schools), the offerings are different, and the social vibes are different. And Georgetown is still Jesuit while Emory is not affiliated with any church.  Georgetown seems to attract more kids wanting a Jesuit school, a bigger sports scene or a higher profile/more international student body(think Crown Prince of Jordan). [b]Emory struck me as very UMC immigrant/Northeast background/Ivy aspirant  “striver-ish” and not in any bad way. [/b]It’s hard to say that one college’s student body is stronger or more accomplished than the other, when they mostly attract different kinds of applicants. [/quote]

This is an accurate assessment. Emory has a lot of kids whose Asian immigrant parents want them to go to a top 20 school no matter what. It is filled with these type of striver kids. Also, not in a bad way. Lots of very smart kids at Emory. But Emory is definitely the consolation prize in the college arms race for these families. [/quote]

Agree wholeheartedly.
Also see a lot of unhappy kids at Emory. Kids looking to transfer at winter break.[/quote]
You work at Emory or something? How would you know this? Emory retention rate is 96%. [/quote]
