[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emory is better than Rice.

No, I disagree that Emory is better than Rice. I think of Rice as in line w the ivies any day. Here on the east coast people are so caught up with the schools here that they may not know what a top notch institution Rice is and how it is viewed everywhere else in the country. While admission rates aren't everything, there was no comparison last year between the two....Emory was at 18.5% and Rice at 8.7%. I mean no disrespect to Emory - it is a fantastic school as well....but not quite up to Rice.[/quote]
Well I don't think Rice is up there with ivys, except maybe Cornell.  Where did you get this info from, Emorys acceptance rate is 11%

Acceptance rate is a terrible indicator in many cases.  It is more reflective of the efforts of the school to induce students to apply, even if they are not qualified.  Tulane has excelled at this. Stats of enrolled students are a much better indicator, but even then you need to consider the percentage of the class is reflected in the stats.  For class rank, for instance, many privates now have 25% or less of the class reporting rank.  They can accept top 10% students reporting rank to boost that metric, but the remaining 75% are not included, and they may be accepted because they boost another metric like SAT/ACT, etc.  [/quote]
