[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emory people really try hard to convince others that it's more prestigious compared to NE schools like NYU, Tufts, BC, BU, NEU, but that's negligible and not a major factor at all.

My DS was in a similar situation and deciding on an ED school. 
Emory and NYU were the top two final choices. 
He went with NYU and didn't consider Emory to have better prestige. [/quote]
Northeastern, BU??!lol. Your son is one person, not the majority. And yes none of those schools have ever been ranked higher than Emory. The gap between Emory and these schools are growing. People from the Northeast keep trying to elevate their declining privates. Like Northeastern? Give me a break. [/quote]

These Emory people are really delusional still living in the 80s

https://www.parchment.com/c/college/tools/college-cross-admit-comparison.php?compare=emory+&with=New+York+University

NYU: 56%
Emory: 44%

The gap is closing and Emory is not regarded more prestigious, maybe slightly but negligible.

Average SAT
Northeastern: 1435 
Emory:1380

Retention 
Northeastern: 98%
Emory: 95%

Graduation rate
Northeastern: 91%
Emory: 90%

4 year out median salary
Northeastern: $89K
Emory: 82K

Northeastern actually beats Emory in every major metrics LOL
I suspect Emory people posting here are in their 70s 80s[/quote]
Lol what?! 1380? Emorys median is 1500. [/quote]

Test Optional could skew the numbers, so this is from 2018 and it's average.

No need to use third party sites when both schools just released a recent CDS profile this month. 
Emory- 1500, 92% Graduation rate, 96% yeild. 
Northeastern- 1500, 90% Graduation rate, 97% yeild. Remember only 35% of NEU students submit test scores.

So again, pretty much on par similar to the other sources.

If that makes you feel better.  What separates them is the reputation, and NEU doesn't have a great one.[/quote]

You seem disappointed at the data and facts.

Well.. how do you measure the reputation?  
Tons of high stat kids(same quality as Emory) apply and attend NEU. 
In fact, more kids(close to 100K) apply to NEU, thus reputation among students seems great. 
Not any less than Emory.

Also NEU is known for great reputation among employers, and thus produce great outcome.   
Not any less than Emory.

Another Emory delusion.

At our private, there is a notable difference in gpa between kids getting into Emory/Tufts on one hand and NE on the other.  NE pretty actively yield protects and is not (yet) getting the same caliber of applicant.  [/quote]
