[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For now I think they're equally prestigious but I think Emory will pass WashU soon. WashUs apps seem to be stagnant or declining while Emory receives over 40k aps now. Emory already has a lower acceptance rate 10%vs 12% as pf 2 years ago, the gap should increase. And the SAT score gap should decrease with it. [/quote]

Here is the Emory troll who would relentlessly prop up the school. The same arguments in every thread involving Emory.[/quote]
My DD hasn't even applied yet. No clue what you're talking about. Sorry, facts hurt your feelings. [b]If Emory's acceptance rate drops to 7%[/b], then that puts it in the Vandy/Rice/ Northwestern / Cornell group. If WashU goes from 12% to 14% because apps declined, then suddenly, WashU is 2x easier to get into.  [/quote]

Emory's acceptance rate last year was 14%. So a giant IF. But a desperate Emory mom can hope, can't she?[/quote]

Um 10.29%

How about taking it from the horse's mouth? From Emory's website (https://news.emory.edu/stories/2025/03/er_admissions_class_of__2029_28-03-2025/story.html), for the class of 2029, 37,855 applied and 5,658 admitted, for an acceptance rate of 14.95%.[/quote]
PP explained already. Emory college is still more selective, which is what most people are talking about when speaking of Emory. The sister campus will be more selective this year as well. [/quote]

No it’s not- Emory’s acceptance rate is still a bit higher than WashU’s. But this isn’t OP’s question.

OP, both schools are well regarded but culturally they are very different. I’d recommend visiting both to get a sense of which best fits your personality.[/quote]
yes it is.

Emory College- 10.3%
Oxford- 13.3%[/quote]

https://news.emory.edu/stories/2025/03/er_admissions_class_of__2029_28-03-2025/story.html

Both sources say 15% acceptance rate.[/quote]

Emory mom/troll doesn't like facts to get in her way of propping up the school.[/quote]

Which is crazy because it’s still a great school and 15% acceptance rate still makes it still highly competitive. No need to embellish but facts are facts.[/quote]
You must be replying to yourself, you cant be this dumb. Emory College and Oxford College are different. Emory College acceptance rate is 10%. End of. 
You can include Oxford College if you want just to prove a point,  but that point will likely be short lived after this year due to the increase in apps at Emory. [/quote]
+1, im not sure why they even published a "combined acceptance rate" as its logically inconsistent. Only 50% of their applicants apply to both campuses. My DS only applied to the Atlanta campus so the acceptance rate is 10%, your chances of getting into ONE OF THE TWO campuses IF you apply to both Emory college and Oxford is 15% as of last year. That 15% seemingly will change this year. [/quote]
