[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just calculated, it actually is likely 15% yield for RD.

Just wow.[/quote]
No one cares, Emory receives more applicants than its peers (except Vanderbilt). [/quote]

what are its peers exactly?  it receives way less in applications vs the actual top 20[/quote]

A few things to point out here. ND is Catholic (very Catholic--82%), so many self select to not apply for that reason. It's also in the middle of nowhere. Still the 9% acceptance rate and 64% yield rate are impressive with no ED.

Georgetown has a separate application, so not even fair to include in this discussion.

Please Emory booster. You are really embarrassing yourself. You might even be outdoing the NEU boosters here. Accept the fact that most students at Emory had to settle because it was their backup school. Why would anyone want to be among a bunch of students that just settled? [/quote]

ED to Emory or NYU was first choice for my kid. Kid decided to go with NYU after visiting both.[/quote]

Exactly and the only way Emory can improve its yield is to offer ED. ND doesn't even offer ED and has an enormous yield rate.[/quote]

Why are you comparing Emory to ND? My kid liked Emory when they visited. Zero interest in football. ND is great but it’s not for everyone. That’s the beauty of the American college landscape- there’s something for everyone. [/quote]
