[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Emory anyone's first choice?[/quote]

Ahh...so if they pay people to go there, Emory is a first choice.  Got it.[/quote]

In some cases. But, many students target schools which offer significant merit scholarship money as a first choice school. [/quote]

A school like Emory will do that because it doesn't have the cache to attract those students otherwise.[/quote]

Merit scholarship awards are often given to attract students accepted to higher ranked schools. If it helps: Emory University reports its application overlap schools as: Duke, Johns Hopkins, Univ. of Pennsylvania, Vanderbilt, WashUStL, and Georgetown.

Williams College reports its overlap schools as: Amherst, Brown, Dartmouth, Harvard, Yale, Middlebury, Princeton, and Stanford.

I think that it is fair to assert that Emory University could be the #1 choice for a student who applied Emory and its 6 overlap schools.

I do not think that is the case with respect to Williams College--which I regard as an outstanding school--and its 8 overlap schools. I doubt that a student accepted to Williams and to any of Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, or Yale is likely to enroll at Williams. And none of Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Brown,or Yale report Williams College as an overlap school. Of course, it could and probably does occur on rare occasions. I think that Amherst, Dartmouth,and Middlebury are true overlap schools for those who apply to Williams College, therefore, Williams College could reasonably be a first choice school for one who applies to Williams, Amherst, Middlebury, and--possibbly--Dartmouth.[/quote]
