[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want pre-med/health care opportunities with the CDC and a top ranked hospital on campus, Emory is an excellent school comparable to other top 15 schools.

It's a tweener sitting naturally between the low Ivys and its peers and the next tier outside of the top 30.

Since it doesnt get people excited by it's athletics or isn't top in anything, it engenders ill will. It isn't the top choice for most that are there. And it doesn't have the pull to consulting, and Wall Street the way other undergraduate B Schools have.

As you look as other top 25 school, most have some sort of spike. Some division that is top 5 in something. Emory doesnt fit the bill.

I think it engenders so much ill will here as it represents the worst case outcome for Top 25/Top 30 striving students. An expensive private school that doesnt have name recognition and doesnt have a spike program.

It sits at the bottom of the Top schools and picks off students who weren't special enough/connected enough to get into higher ranked schools. It has the lowest yield in the Top 25 and that speaks volumes.

[b]For those at schools ranked 30-50, it is a dream school. For those at schools ranked 1-10, it is a safety school[/b].[/quote]

This is odd. At this time, the 1-10 schools have like an aggregate 4% acceptance rate. A school like Emory is still a single digit or low double digit acceptance rate (I haven't look at recent CDS numbers) but the idea that schools with 15% or less acceptance rates are safeties in any context is insane.[/quote]
