There's a mean spirited person posting against every college in every thread nothing but emotional vitriol. Just ignore this cretin.

Whatever helps you cope at night. Doesn't stop the record apps they're getting.

lolz, the only one coping is the ones thinking emory is a top destination at 40% yield despite overuse of ED.

The jumps in ED this year is largely the result of a bunch of schools going back to test required applications.

Emory is one of the better test optional schools that are at the top end of reach for a lot of people so that's where they want to buy their lottery ticket.

Where do you get data on ED apps being higher or lower?

It shouldn't impact anything at all.

Totally agree. Emory is a great school. There is at least one poster who really seems to have a grudge towards Emory. Even though the poster swears their DC was accepted, I don't believe it.

Emory mom! Can’t stop being nasty even during holiday season.

the same reason people bash Harvard for being elitist, Stanford for admitting sports stars, UChicago for wanting students who want to challenge themselves, for BC being too Catholic, for Northeastern becoming a good school, for Michigan blending athletics with academics, for SLACs providing great opportunities, for southern schools like UGA and Florida becoming super popular, for Alabama having a fun greek culture, for UVA becoming highly rejective...people are just complainers in general. They will find something, somewhere to complain about.

It tries to be

It’s all in response to the mom who’s consistently posting how kid at x school couldn’t possibly have gotten into Emory. All in good fun.

A reach- above poster

Believe it or not, some kids are at Emory because they want to be there and CHOSE to be there. For some kids it’s a teach, not a T-25 backup.
