[quote=Anonymous]No, if Emory's RD pool is better qualified than their ED pool, which seems highly likely, then waiting until RD and admitting lots of high-stats kids for each spot because you know you'll get one but you don't know which one (cf high-stats kids adopting the same logic in their apps) increases selectivity as measured by median credentials of matriculating students. That's a more meaningful stat wrt selectivity than % of applicants admitted. And, longer-term (cf WashU), skilled cohort helps draw more talented kids. So first stage is establish yourself as a place with lots of smart kids. [/quote]
