Tulane and Emory get more attention now because they are in the south. While they aren't academically elite like the northeast colleges they attract good enough students. The question is if it is worth it over the much cheaper state schools. Emory in particular has to compete with UGA for top Georgia students. That is pretty amazing considering how fast the trajectory of UGA has risen due to the Hope/Zell scholarship. So value conscious parents don't need to pay for an expensive private school where the outcomes won't differ.

There will always be some market for expensive, lower tier private schools just because some will want that experience. Since there are so few private schools like that in the south Tulane and Emory get a lot of attention.

Emory has been made up of mostly NE students for over 50 years now, you don't know what you're talking about. And Emory and Tulane aren't peers never will be. And it's not just because of US News even though that's part of it. Emorys peers are and always have been WashU, Vandy, Georgetown, ND, Rice and a few others. I can't figure out what some on this board have against Emory but, your children aren't getting into the school regardless.

+100, could never get in, but have so much to say about it. How did this even start?

What drugs are you on? With a 32 percent ED1 acceptance rate, lots of kids are getting in Emory who are very smart but not too top of the class, It isn’t nearly as hard to get into Emory as those schools you like to think of as its peers.

You're trying to hard. ED1 is only one round. It's 30% this year, and WashU has a higher ED1 acceptance rate of 35%. Emory's 30% ED1 acceptance rate still comes at a 1500 plus test avg and binding admission. RD at Emory is 8%. Lastly the schools themselves think Emory is a peer, I don't have to.
https://www.chronicle.com/article/who-does-your-college-think-its-peers-are

Northwestern, WashU, ND, Rice, Vanderbilt, UVA, Umich all chose Emory as peers and these are just the Top 25s. Tufts and Tulane chose Emory as a peer also but Emory did not choose back...

Definitely third tier. There is the Ivy plus tier, then the couldn't get into an Ivy tier, then couldn't get into the backups to the Ivies schools. Emory is in that third bucket, along with CMU, BU, Case Western, and yes Tulane (and others). It's not an easy admit, but not overly hard either. And they have their own satellite community college that is an easy admit.

I'm sure there are some students who were close to being Ivy caliber that opted for Emory and BU. Obviously not that many but early decision makes people think that they "have" to try and get an edge in admissions. So a lock getting into BU, Emory, Case, Tulane is worth it versus the lottery of the Ivy League. But you are right, better schools like UChicago, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Rice, CalTech, Vanderbilt take a much larger percentage of those who had a much better shot at Ivy but chose one of the above schools because that's where they really wanted to go.
