[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]I doubt that a student accepted to Williams and to any of Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, or Yale is likely to enroll at Williams.[/b] 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]

Citation please.

You don't know this for a fact.  It isn't a fact.  Your "doubt" is your own opinion about the relative merits of the overlap schools.[/quote]
