Washu is more pre-md/phd[/quote]

Than Emory?  Definitely false.  Lots of kids pick Emory for proximity to the CDC.[/quote]

Not sure how you can believe this. Im confident Washu has a much higher % of premed students. Sure there’s the cdc, but I doubt that’s the difference maker in magnitude lol. You can also check LinkedIn and see the difference. Emory’s business school is also double the size of WashU’s.[/quote]

Your confidence is misplaced, 20 percent of students apply to medical school from both Emory and Wash U.[/quote]

Not that I don’t believe you but do you have a source? According to Emory’s own website, 350 applied in 2023. Emory’s average class size is around 2000. That’s not 20%. https://prehealth.emory.edu/outcomes.html

Their matriculation rate of 65% is also lower than WashU’s[/quote]

I guess they rounded up in the article by saying “about 1/5th”? Still, 65% vs 85%? Washu is clearly more pre-md[/quote]

Honestly, I don’t really care.  The lengths the Wash U/Tufts/Emory parents go to distinguish their school from one of the others is quite ridiculous.  They are all very similar schools, and no dog in this fight as my kids don’t attend any of them.[/quote]

I was just responding to an inaccurate claim with some numbers. “Lengths” is actually funny. Anyway, the three are demonstrably different and if you had kids at any of them or attended one, you’d actually have a different opinion. [/quote]

There was no inaccuracy. The article said 20 percent of the Emory class was premed after two years.
[/quote]

The inaccuracy I was alluding to was a claim that said WashU wasn’t more pre-med/phd than Emory. [/quote]
