[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ga Tech waitlisted a NMF and UGA only accepted a kid with a 4.7 from our oos school.  Anyone who dismisses these schools as easy admits has no idea what they’re talking about and is just prejudiced because they’re southern schools.  Suggesting these as “safeties” is setting your kid up for a real blow to their ego. [/quote]

GA Tech is a safety school for MIT. [/quote]

It’s not a safety for anyone. [/quote]

Exactly, Gatech had a 10 percent oos acceptance rate for EA this year, RD will be lower.[/quote]
EA is GTs harderst round, so RD won't be lower. Emory's overall acceptance rate is typically lower as GT hardest EA round. Last year GTs EA2 round was 13%. Emorys overall rate last year was 11% and its RD rare was 9% . [/quote]

Emory takes well over 30 percent of the kids who apply ED1.[/quote]
Private schools typically have ED while public schools EA. Elite privates do that because they can get strong students  to apply and commit early.  If UGA or GATech switched EA to ED would the caliber of students that apply early remain the same for them? Seems as if UGA and GT don't think so or they would offer ED by now. Emorys tests scores are higher even before test optional, with ED and without engineering. [/quote]

ED is the easiest way for schools to maintain yield. I think it’s commendable that top public universities don’t offer ED for the most part. [/quote]

Emory also has one of the highest percentages of international students.  They definitely utilize all the “cook the books” tricks to preserve their ranking.

On the positive side, they also take a large number of Questbridge students.[/quote]
Wait how is this a bad thing? Aren't internationals full pay? [/quote]
