[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cannot compare UF test scores to W&L when UF has over 50% in state and is public. Florida is way more competitive for the average OOS than W&L.  Also, no one (and I mean no one but alums) would put Tulane over Wake Forest or Davidson.  And equal to Rice??  yea, smoking something. UVa is the most prestigious public in the south.  [/quote]

I’m from the Midwest, and I obsessed/continue to obsess about this because I hated K-12 so much.

These schools are probably all roughly similar in terms of overall educational quality and quality of serious students.

But W&L and Wake Forest would probably appeal more to people with strong roots in the South; Tulane might appeal more to kids from up North who just want a good school in a fun place.

My guess would be that UF is probably stronger than UVA for the hard sciences, but that UVA might be stronger for students in the humanities and social sciences.

Emory seems as if it would be great at everything but not spectacular at anything other than premed subjects. [/quote]
