Wake is, not "are," good at lots of programs. You, however, are not good at English. Obviously you didn't get into any of the schools under discussion. Probably didn't even go to college.

Wake=Bruh, the biggest lax bros, ultra preppy dying for Wake

I'm a Wake fan and would also be curious what drugs were involved in the PP.

Wake is leaps and bounds above Vanderbilt, Emory, and UNC academically!

Much harder to get into, stats are much better. However, it's expensive.

What are you smoking?

Are we only discussing sports?

Expect SMU to be added to list now that the Mustangs are in the ACC. Smart move by SMU. Full pay family but hard to justify $95k for those schools with not much prestige.

100%
But Wake is more prestigious than Tulane or Richmond or SMU. By a MILE. At least at our private. Tulane is where you go when you have 0 options or need a full ride. Richmond is meh.
SMU is for cokeheads.

I mean, it's a fabulous school. But if we are saying some schools are "better" than others, all the ones you listed are. That's just how the cookie crumbles.

I have zero affiliation to Wake. It is in the same ballpark as Tulane and Richmond but definitely better, significantly better than Miami. All things being equal (money, etc.) I would not hesitate to choose Wake over any of them. There is definitely overlap in the applicant pools.

I forgot about U Miami and U Richmond in the T15, so its questionable whether Wake makes the list at all.
