[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont understand why people are surprised with Emory's super-low yield. Emory is essentially a match school that a ton of the top, prestige-driven students apply to in case they do not get into an ivy or ivy-equivalent.[b] I dont think Emory has any unique draws and the main reason why it gets a lot of this kind of apps apps is because it is in the USNews top 20. [/b]So it is no surprise that practically everyone who has one or more elite choices would turn down Emory. [/quote]
I’ll preface this by saying this is a “layperson’s” view, and I say that to mean I’m not super familiar with the elite schools...but This is kind of my feeling, too- just looking at schools ranked similarly...UCLA and UC-Berkeley have the benefit of instate tuition for many students, Notre Dame is the darling of like every Catholic kid ever, USC is in LA/amazing weather/certain departments like film are extremely prestigious, Georgetown has the DC location/top programs in IR/known for SFS/...what exactly is Emory known for?
