Most kids choose Penn


This is in line with my experience, except Duke should be higher (around Northwestern and Chicago)

This source is obviously garbage. No one actually knows the cross-admit splits between schools except the schools themselves.


This actually maps well to schools yield rates


Not really, USC, Berkeley, UCLA, etc. don't have great yield rates.


If USC has ED1 ED2 like some of the other schools, yield will increase vastly.

I thought ranking was very important
Emory people keep moving the goalposts.

Especially cost!

UF oos doesn't cost much less than Emory full price. Emory's financial aid like brings the coat down significantly. UF could never attract the same caliber students Emory receives.

Magazine ranking is not the decisive factor.
You shouldn't pick a school like that.

Let's not be facetious. The convo was about prestige and the fact Vandy, Emory, Rice, WashU are peer schools. And pp brought up NYU as if that negates Emory in some way. NYU is not Emorys peer regardless if someone saw it as a better fit for them.

OverHYPed


Agree.

Nothing special about them now except they once tried hard to attract rich WASPs back then.


Although the acronym has quite properly been expanded to HYPSM, they are the schools most of you can only dream about.


The question was HYP and yes as an S grad I sometimes have dreams about my time there, Palo Alto is a great place.
