Emory is much more difficult to get into than GA Tech. They have the superior engineering program[/quote]
Emory's more difficult to get into than UMich as well, the the Emory detractors conviently forget that. [/quote]

Correct. The latest Emory acceptance rate is 12% while Michigan remains stagnant at 45%. Emory average SAT 1480, Michigan average SAT 1290. It's not even close.[/quote]
Michigan engineering acceptance rate is 19%; average SAT of 1440 and ACT of 34.[/quote]

So true. To be fair though Emory's SAT average is higher than places like northwestern
So UMich's best can't beat Emory's avg?[/quote][/quote]

The official merged data set from D of Ed I was using last year when my boys were looking shows Emory with an average of 1437 and Michigan with an average of 1436.  Also, Michigan has more students >1500 than Emory has students.

Northwestern's was 1500, so above poster is an idiot.

As a comparison, Caltech has a higher SAT average than MIT, but the top 200 students/class at MIT are clearly higher that the top 200 at Caltech.[/quote]

This is not true on Emory's website it says 760 for Math and 710 for Reading which equals 1470.

I prefer to use the official data that schools report under oath vs. marketing bs.  If you think it changed that much in one year, then you aren't very good at math/data.

You're just daft. Finding the average of the 25th and 75th percentile is not how you find the median, as the bell curve distribution for that particular set of data may not be perfect which is clearly what is happening with Emory's SAT numbers. The difference between the 25th and 50th percentile for Emory is much more than the difference between the 50th and 75th percentile. [/quote]

And you apparently lack reading comprehension skills.  The 1436/1437 numbers are, in fact, the SAT AVG reported by the schools to the US Dept of Ed.  No manipulation was done on my part.[/quote]
Those numbers are from 2018[/quote]
