Not sure I would be so quick to promote a Reddit thread with this type of comment:

“Picked Emory over Tulane Didn’t get into Georgetown, Northwestern, Dartmouth. Born and raised in Louisiana. Did debate in high school lol”

Ivy League grads apologize for their kids going to Emory.

None of above is ideal for premed.

Will choose between Emory and WashU. Between these two, purely personal preference.

I would pick Emory over Berkeley, Hopkins, USC, Gatech, CMU for Business and a few others majors as well.


I would pick USC over Emory for business.

Any ranking that doesn't include Ross is trash. Ross is a peer school with Wharton.[/quot

Poets and Quants needs to figure out a way to rank schools that don’t complete the surveys…also, UCB and UT aren’t ranked as well as others for the same reasons.

Actually they’re not. Having just gone through this process, I can assure you that there is a wide range.

Lol same. I’m not sure why 16 or so examples on reddit are supposed to be meaningful. How many tens of thousands of kids get accepted to Emory and other schools each year? No one argued that Emory won exactly zero of the cross admits.

I am super sad that these third/fourth generation Asian don't even claim Asian as their race anymore. The discriminatory policy in the US will lead to elimination of an entire race in a couple of generations ...

Based on the usage of "striver" in OP post, this is a racist post inciting Asian hate, third/fourth generation Asians included.

Further proving why threads like this are important.

This is super misinformed. Schools will sweeten the pot when attempting to yield against perceived “peers.”
