[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3311 students applied ED 1 to Emory last year.[/quote]

3k students who felt like they couldn't get in anywhere better[/quote]
You're not smart. Over 50% of students that enroll at Emory are accepted ED. That means Emorys median test scores are decided before the RD round. Which also means students with a 1510 are applying ED to Emory, but somehow they couldn't get into anywhere else?[/quote]

Yes, 3k students would totally turn down emory if they had a better shot at top 15 schools. only 80% of emory's class is in the top 10% where as it is 95%ish plus at other top schools. It's also why yield is at 40% despite all that scholarship money and alternate campus gaming.

Emory does well, all things considered. [/quote]

Also, the colors are not in red and green which shows your comparisons are not statistically significant.  That is not even enough overlap in admits between the schools, which makes sense.  There would be exceedingly few that get into MIT that would even consider Emory.[/quote]
As I mentioned earlier, you're not smart. The numbers aren't highlighted in color because the difference isn't statistically significant. If the sample size weren't large enough, Parchment would not have generated a result like this...
Emory vs Swarthmore
N/A

We get it.  You're an emory grad - math isn't your forte among other things.[/quote]
