It's safe to say with 2,800 4-year colleges in the country, probably none of the T25 are easy.

What we.mean is it doesn't lose students more than it's peer schools. If it did its test scores and yeild would indicate it. Emory pulls from schools higher ranked and lower ranked schools. Parchment is a horrible source but even if you use it you can tell Emory gets high caliber students

Are you trying to convince us that Emory isn't T25?

This proves how unreliable parchment is. The vast majority of students enrolled at Wake CANNOT get into Emory. Also Wake is not T25, so please stop trying to make fetch happen.
Lovely Emory mom is back. Please learn what a 95 percent confidence interval is.

Th issue is more Emory mom who repeatedly insists Emory is far superior to any school ranked even one place behind it, and continually trashes the Oxford Emory admits as somehow inferior even though the admission stats are the same or better as main campus.
I'm not going by ranking, but reputation scores in the ranking.

Relatedly (on Wake), hearing a lot of these planned senior ED strategy combos from our private:
ED1: Duke; and ED2: Wake
ED1: Vanderbilt; and ED2: Wake
ED1: Brown; and ED2: Wake
ED1: Dartmouth; and ED2: Wake
ED1: Duke; and ED2: Wake
ED1: Vanderbilt; and ED2: Wake

Hotter than in years past for ED by top stats private high school kids who could make a run for T20.
Used to be the early ED choice for full pay kids with meh transcripts. Non-DMV private btw.
They say they want true college exp/fun, low pressure, easy study-abroad process, non-competitive business majors, collaborative culture, social campus, Greek life and d1 sports culture.
What gives?
Ae you saying Wake has all of this? Except for the business major part, that's exactly what my kid wants.
That's what the kids are saying at our private this year - that Wake has all this (in bold).
Not sure I buy it.

I am a NP. I agree, I don't understand all the Emory hate. My DC attends Emory and we have been very impressed by academics, social activities and school support. It has truly exceeded our expectations.

As a Wake Forest parent, I would disagree with some of this. Wake Forest is hot, but it is been hot for at least the past few years, especially the years the football team was ranked in the T25. Further, it is not correct that it was a school for “meh” transcripts, before the change in the rankings for first gen/ low income students factors in 2023, Wake spent two and a half decades ranked as a T30 school.
Academics are rigorous at Wake, hence its “work forest” nickname. The business school is collaborative once admitted as a sophomore but the admit rate is about 70 percent so some kids switch to Econ. Business clubs are also competitive to get in as they are everywhere.
But kids have a lot of fun. Football games and tailgates are well attended. There are pep rallies for football and basketball. Lots of parties. Truly a work hard/play hard school. Nearly everyone goes abroad fall of junior year.
Agreed. Kids who would have been competitive at a number of the T-25’s opt for Wake because it offers a great package combining rigor, size, vibe, climate, and fun.
