[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder why Emory isn't able to regularly get itself ranked higher? They have the 9th largest endowment (https://www.collegeraptor.com/college-rankings/details/Endowment) but have consistently been ranked in the low 20s.

The schools ranked higher on the endowment list have some upside given their resources. [/quote]

Emory hasn’t really been able to establish a real identity, or at least one that appeals to HS students. I live in the South and have college-age relatives in the Atlanta area, and none of our kids even thought about Emory. They all applied to Duke & Vanderbilt, but not Emory. I mentioned Emory to my DC as a possibility, and they dismissed it out of hand. For marketing, they don’t have major sports for marketing, and they don’t have a unified campus. I also think they’ve been hurt by the Georgia state scholarship programs. The highly qualified kids in GA that could get into Emory can attend GaTech and UGA tuition free. [/quote]

Emory is like 14th among private schools for endoment. It's at about the right place.

My kid didn't want to gamble with T20, so mostly looked at 20-50 schools.
NYU and Emory came up top for ED candidates for either econ or business.
After visiting, liked NYU very much.  Got in CAS via ED.  
Boston college was ED2 target if NYU didn't work.
