[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whether Emory University or Williams College offers the better education depends upon the particular student and the particular course of study. My first thought is that the intellectual firepower is greater at Emory, but that the well rounded student is more prevalent at athletically inclined Williams College.[/quote]

Kids I know heading to Emory this year would NEVER get into Williams.[/quote]

Williams had a 30% acceptance rate for ED. Does not seem so selective. [/quote]

40% of the student body at Williams are recruited athletes.  Back those numbers out of their ED and try again. Then do the same for Emory assuming you can estimate the percent of recruited athletes there.. That’ll give you a better comparison.

And no, I have no idea what the result will be. But I am interested.[/quote]

The co-valedictorian when I graduated from Williams was a student athlete (ice hockey). Williams has the same number of teams as a U of A but with a much smaller student body so it stands to reason a higher proportion of its student body would be comprised of athletes. What point are you trying to make about student athletes? [/quote]
