[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emory is slightly easier to get into if you don't mind the Oxford campus. Emory just released their enrolled stats and it's very close. I think WashU has a higher acceptance rate and Emory lower test scores. [/quote]
Emory is not easier. They're the same. 
Washu- 12%, 1500-1560, 33-35, 57% reporting
Emory- 10%, 1470- 1550, 32-35, 64% reporting[/quote]

Looks like the 25th percentile threshold might speak to the difference in med school acceptance rates later on. 65% vs 85%[/quote]
Emory is 84% with a committee letter, WashU does the same. The 25th isnt any different practically but Emory is more diverse so maybe the 10th percentile dips lower than we can anticipate. [/quote]

Agreed, it probably is a lower percentile as the reason. Does WashU do letters for every applicant then? Their stats page doesn’t mention it as a qualifier[/quote]
Yes, they do. I remember them saying so several years ago. Also Johns Hopkins med rate is 65% and they don't do committee letters. There's no logical reason for washu to have a higher rate than JHU other than the committee letter being the difference. [/quote]
