[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't consider Emory to be a "top liberal arts school". A top school, I think arguably.  I think the point is that if you were talking about a true to liberal arts school like Amherst or Swarthmore, I can see the issue.  I just don't think Emory has enough going for it to pick it over UMD given the facts you outline.[/quote]
Emory is better than those both schools. And for Op it depends on the major. Some majors prestige doesn't matter, for others like finance UMD will not get you far. [/quote]

Really? This is anecdotal, but if you compared the 4 students from DC's graduating class who are at Emory v the 4 at their top NESCAC,- hands down the latter are by far the "better" students by grades and rigor. I know three of the Emory kids in addition to DC and the other NESCAC kids and they wouldn't even contest that. [/quote]

I know Emory has high stats but the kids I’m aware of who have gone to Emory past couple years would have not been good candidates for top Nescac type schools [/quote]
These are just anecdotes, I know a few Amherst, and Swarthmore students rejected by Emory. I also know a Emory students that turned down a full ride at Williams to go to Emory. All these schools are the same level, no reason to nit pick. [/quote]
