Emory games it by taking a huge percentage ED and then the whole community college thing. Just odd.

Their lower endowments make me concerned they'll lose brand power in the Trump era; while costing the same as T20/25 schools. If DC can't get into Georgetown or similar, should they just go to UMD?

Any private in the top 50 is fair game.

If you are comfortably full pay, it's all about fit. And BC and Wake in particular are very solid schools and their graduates tend to do very well.

If money is an issue - like it is for the 95 percent of Americans who think 100 grand a year for college is ridiculous - it becomes a different calculation. And it's hard to justify Tulane, BC, or Wake at $90,000 over UMD and UVA at $38,000. None of those private schools are worth going into debt over a couple of very good in-state options.

Also, NYU vs Emory is only 56:44, a statistical tie. Considering that Parchment does not differentiate between Oxford College and Emory College, and NYU is in NYC. Emory is doing pretty damn good.

emory’s yield is 24% within local public schools: https://bethesdamagazine.com/2025/09/10/mcps-students-college/m

give it an absolute rest.

lol...the troll has entered the chat. Just a heads up, there is massive hate here on DCUM for Tufts from some weirdo.

Agree if can’t get into a top 30, Wake, BC, Tufts, and Tulane are not taking people to the promised land.

Can't make this up.

Once Emory mom finds a thread, it’s all over.

Whose eyes are you worried about?

How about you try to find a school that provides an excellent undergraduate education, in a setting that would allow your kid to thrive?

Anonymous wrote:+1 We are full pay but would never pay $90-95k a year for BC, Tufts, or Wake. Would one want to live in a mediocre suburb and pay Greenwich or Scarsdale prices same analogy.

So if your kids cannot get into top 30 where exactly are you sending them to college that is worth the price?

If you afford it, why not?

Trump will be gone soon. Don't make 40 yeae decisions based on him.
