[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's many reasons to choose Emory over UVa. One many here are not from Virginia. DC and I are in Maryland. 2 UVa really isn't seen as prestigious as Emory, although close UVa is a half step below. 3 some students prefer or need smaller schools. [/quote]

I don’t have a kid at either school and live in MD.  I disagree that Emory is more prestigious that UVA, it’s pretty easy to get into Emory ED1, over 30 percent acceptance rate, but UVA oos is around 15 percent for ED.  Further, UVA is far more popular as it offers a more complete college experience, with ACC sports.  In fact, Emory lags behind similarly sized schools in number of applications received.[/quote]
How many schools does Emory lag behind with 35k apps? Also Emory has 2 rounds of ED while the schools you're comparing it to only have one. Looking at Every school with 2 rounds of ED, the ED1 acceptance rate is much larger than the other 2. That includes schools like UChicago. What is important is that the majority of Emory students can get into UVa, but the reverse can't be said. Emory has higher test scores, higher GPA avgs,  wealthier students, and historically a higher ranking, most people consider that more prestigious. [/quote]

UVA gets 44,000 oos applicants alone. Similarlu sized Vandy  had over 47,000 applications last cycle.[/quote]

UVA total is 59,000…you saying only 15,000 were from VA?[/quote]
