Congratulations!

Congrats my daughter loves it (Emory main campus). 3.9 at Big 3 and 35 SAT


Congrats, my DC loves it too! TO, high GPA (can't remember the number). Accepted ED2.

Don't listen to the posts that Emory has no social life. It is definitely there if you want it.

Same said for Vandy, the two schools have converged.

OVERALL Vanderbilt last year was at 6 % admittance rate and Emory at 10 %
THAT TELLS YOU NOTHING about what it means for how hard it is for kids from the DMV. They are both high reaches for any high stats kids in our area. The kids who freak out and ED to either school are scared they won't get into the IVY's and don't want to roll the dice.

Also nepotism matters way more at Vandy. Last year the kids from our Big Three who got in there were ALL connected (but academically respectable if not stellar) and one of my kid's smartest friends ended up at Emory. All this is not statistically relevant. Both are tough admits.


Weird, at our private, you need to be in the top 10 percent of class to get into Vandy and the kids who go to Emory aren’t even in the top 20 percent. Completely different applicant pools.

What do you mean connected?
Non-DMV here, and in our community, its usually the wealthiest kids that get in. However, after Varsity Blues, I don't think there's any quid pro quo - I just think Vanderbilt likes the VERY wealthy kids whose parents have BIG jobs (and probably have a LONG history of donating millions to our private school). But just a guess.
