[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents who went to Ivies are sheepish and apologetic when their kids attend Emory.  [/quote]

What a strange answer.  There are parents that went to Ivies who have kids at all kinds of schools in the top 200.
 
Are you claiming their sheepishness only comes out for Emory?[/quote]

Emory is just so . . . boring.  And is so clearly a back up.  I dunno.[/quote]

According to DCUM [b]every school outside HYPSM is a back up[/b].

Still don’t get how it’s more boring than Tufts or Rochester or countless other schools.

It gets some of the top ratings for quality of life and other student survey rankings from Princeton Review.[/quote]

This is true.  Outside T5, fit matters, find the school fits you the best.  The difference among non-T5 T30 schools are not substantial.  Penn or WashU, Vandy or Cornell, different types of kids find where they belong.  Outside T30, it's another big drop.  [/quote]

I think some private universities in the T50 still share a similar caliber to those in the T30.
And I agree that fit truly matters.

None do honestly. I would say there's a fairly  big drop outside of top 25. [/quote]

Nope, not for schools like NYU, Tufts, BU, BC, Northeastern, Wake Forest, and USC which is close to T25[/quote]
Yes all of those are a tier down.  NYU and USC are the closest but NYU has lower student quality (only 30% submitting test scores) and USC is academically not the same level as a WashU for instance. The others dont come close especially BU or Wake. [/quote]
