It’s one school and these kids have agreed to go if accepted for whichever campus they chose. All schools will likely go down again this year, including Vandy, which is already reported to have record number of apps.

Vandy and Emory are peer schools. Not Vandy and Oxford. Nothing wrong with Emory having a satellite campus, but you're using said campus to knock Emory down a peg, which isn't fair. No one counts UVA wise in UVa stats, nor do they count NYUs 2 other campuses in its acceptance rate or do they count Barnard into Columbias numbers. You all only do it to Emory because you all are biased.

You sound unhinged. Emory considers them all Emory students at the time of admission. That’s how they file the cds.

Vandy and Emory are definitely not peer schools.

Are you the author of the ED post last week with the hooked kid you didn’t want to admit was hooked? It certainly doesn’t mean that, but the most common mistake is people overshooting repeatedly.

I don’t know what post you’re referring to, or why it matters. I think the most common mistake in this environment is not casting a wide enough net. It’s a numbers game. If you have the stats, apply (with balanced safeties and targets). You can’t get a yes from anywhere where you don’t apply.

You’d be wrong. The biggest mistake is kids wasting applications on low probability schools. Nothing wrong with doing so if your kid has the stamina for endless applications or the stomach for lots of rejections, but most kids don’t.

Well, I’ve been through this and no, I’m not wrong. My kid got lots of rejections. And lots of waitlists. And it was VERY difficult to go through. But….they got several great admissions in RD as well! If they’d done an ED2 they would not have ended up where they did (no schools that offer ED2 were attractive to them). There’s no need to rush. We are really happy with how it went for them and that’s all I hope for all of these kids who are working so hard! Your hostility is very weird. Take a deep breath. It will all work out.

In the Early Decision I round, the University accepted 32% of applicants to the Class of 2028. Nearly two months later in the Early Decision II round, the Emory College of Arts and Sciences (ECAS) accepted 12% of applicants while Oxford College accepted 11% of applicants.

Actually, no. Does Emory double count one individual as two applicants if they apply both to Emory and to Emory/Oxford? Technically, they are two applicants because we are told Emory and Emory/Oxford are different. I guarantee you don't know the answer to that.

Given that Emory lied about their admissions statistics before, skepticism may be warranted here. Just like Emory's program of accepting students for the first semester abroad in London (so it doesn't count in its Common Data Set admission numbers), Emory still knows how to play the marketing game.

I’m so sorry. And sorry for the other person whose (obviously highly qualified) Big 3 child didn’t get the decision they were hoping for.

Maybe it was their chosen major or who else applied from their school, but more than likely it was the combination of too many applicants/too little time for a solid review process/a lot of randomness in the process.

I hope your DD is doing okay and lands somewhere great.

I can’t figure out if the ED2 to Vandy is a real person, or Emory mom being weird.

Do you have a hook at Vandy? It’s a much tougher admit than Emory.

It is not clearly. It's all the same now

The acceptance rate at Vandy is half that of Emory for ED1. It’s very difficult. If it’s your kid’s dream, then go for it, but it is more common practice to move to slightly less selective schools for ED2.

The acceptance rate does not tell the whole story. Vandy, like NYU, and USC are throw away app schools. Kids apply just to say they applied. Emory is not that so the quality of applicant is likely higher.

Emory throwing shade at Vanderbilt? How moronic. Emory's ED admit rate is 40%, Vanderbilt's is 15%.

Why are you lying🤥?
Emorys ED rate was 25% last year.

With Oxford, Emory's Early Decision admission rate is 40%.

This is a lie.
https://www.emorywheel.com/article/2023/12/emory-admits-early-decision-i-applicants-into-class-of-2028
The 32% acceptance rate includes Oxford.
Emory College ED1 last year was 26%. 705/2704. When you add ED2 Emory College ED drops to 20% and that was last year. Compare that to Vandys 15% acceptance rate for both ED1&ED2. They are essentially the same. Oxford is not Emory.

705 students were admitted to Emory. 364 were admitted to Emory/Oxford.
2,704 students applied.

1,069/2,704
39% acceptance rate.
Oxford is Emory.

Your numbers aren’t correct. Total ED acceptances were 865. 204 were admitted to both campuses which you are double counting in your acceptance numbers.

You cannot Read!!!
"with 205 of those students being admitted to both campuses"
You are double counting 205 students, IF you want to calculate the Emory and Oxford combined rate, which is not what the thread is about.
1069-205=864
864/2704=31.9%
You're a dufus.
