Crazy I remember a time when Georgetown was the most selective out of this group and Emory was the least. Times really have changed. [/quote]
It still is, except for maybe Vandy.

Georgetown has no ED; ED drastically reduces admit rates because you have 1:1 yield and correspondingly accept fewer people in RD. Tufts accepts a ton ED and won’t disclose it on the CDS. Emory has Oxford admit games.

True ranking, in order of admission likelihood:
Vandy, Georgetown, Emory, WashU, Tufts[/quote]

Although Oxford was said to be easier, the official stats is almost the same as Emory campus. Its low yield rate is mainly because the large overlap of admissions between Oxford and Emory. For example, in this year’s ED1, more than half of Oxford admitted also get Emory admitted. I don’t think Oxford is a backdoor. [/quote]
It’s a little bit of a backdoor, but I still ranked it above WashU, so what’s the problem? It is nowhere near Vandy or Georgetown…[/quote]
