[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10.6 is not greater than 12.  Here's a tip that might work if you're struggling with greater than/less than signs:  remember, the alligator eats the bigger number.[/quote]
In this instance lower is better, you understood what I meant. [/quote]

Lower isn’t better. It just means more applicants. [/quote]

Emory also has shady admissions practices to falsely lower their acceptance rate, namely in regards to Oxford College.  They also have an insanely high Early Decision acceptance rate… I believe it was close to 40% this year.[/quote]

I’ve heard about the Emory’s Oxford college.  What is it exactly?  It seems to be a 2 year liberal arts college within the university.  Is that all there is to it?

Lots of SLACs also heavily tilt the ED game in their favor. Many fill a majority of the class ED. Look at Haverford (46% acceptance ED and filling up 60% of a class), Hamilton (45%/58%), Wesleyan (41%/64%), Davidson (48%/59%), W&L (52%/59%), Colgate (50%/62%), Claremont-McKenna (35%/70%), Williams (40%/51%), Bucknell (55%/47.5%), Middlebury (47%/65%). Are these “insanely high”, because I don’t hear a lot people snubbing these schools.  By limiting your competition to those who can commit to pay $80,000 a year without any promise of FA, you do increase your odds quite a bit.

Some bigger colleges do the same thing. Wake Forest (34%/53%), Villanova (58%/36%), Richmond (48%/44%), Northwestern (25%/58%), NYU (28%/58%)[/quote]

Look at the percentage of student athletes at those SLACs and the ED numbers will make more sense. [/quote]
Emory has athletes too[/quote]
