No they are not. By test score its
WashU>Emory>Georgetown>UVa>>UF

The gap between WashU and Emory is tiny, statistically not a difference.
1490-1550/33-35
1470-1540/33-35

Georgetown is lower than UVa although it is TR and UVa is TO.
It should look like this
WashU=Emory>>UVa>Georgetown>>UF
UF is no where near Emory or WashU.

The resident Emory hater will still say its garbage because of 20 points.

In theory Emory has higher test scores. For the recent class about 70% of Emory students submit scores vs 50% for WashU.

only 62% submitted test scores for
emory. washu has higher test scores, higher class rank, and higher gpa. Higher desirability and better students vs emory

washu had 59% submit test scores vs 62% for emory - negligible difference despite these emory clowns saying otherwise

For Emory Oxford, their transfer junior college they own, do they accept test scores? I know that if you do UVA Wise you can have lower test scores. Out in California you don't need an SAT at all if you transfer in from community college. For Emory that is one way to get some admission seats filled.

Oxford isnt like UVa Wise at all, it more similar to Barnard in selectivity.

They have the same test profile as Emory College
1470-1540/33-35 however 60% submit test scores. Instead of 68%.

now do class rank where Emory is an abysmal 76% in top 10% of class where as Barnard is 91%.

Because we are rich and it’s NBD.

+1

My kid got $42K/year at Case (a few years ago), but chose a "similar school" for $85-90K/year. They know 99% of kids wouldn't have a choice and would be attending Case. But we let them choose the better fit for them, they are thriving and it was the right choice. But we have it saved and it's NBD to us.

Their lower endowments make me concerned they'll lose brand power in the Trump era; while costing the same as T20/25 schools. If DC can't get into Georgetown or similar, should they just go to UMD?

"Just" go to UMD? If your DC is considering privates in T30-70 you mentioned (which BTW are great schools for the right kids) then unlikely that they have what it takes to get in UMD. If your DC is in-state and from the W schools, anything less than UW 4.0 is a red flag for UMD admission, and that is for EA round. Zero chance to be accepted in RD round. If in-state and from a non W school outside Montgomery County, then much better chance. If you are out of state and full pay, then your DC chances in getting the T30-70 schools mentioned is significantly greater than getting to UMD as OOS.

For reference look at the CDS UMDCP (92% admitted has UW GPA 4.0). Compare that to the CDS of the schools mentioned above. Again, those schools provide great educational value for the right students.

I can see going down a level for merit. But, for us, overseas is where the price meets value.

Value is relative.
You probably don't see the value in BMW, Mercedes, Lexus but there are people purchasing them while there are people buying Honda, Mazda, VW etc.

well the OP asked about "worth the investment". and now I dont think these schools ranked after T20 is worth 400k +

Sorry you suffer from an insecurity complex.

I dont think its insecurity. What are you paying extra for exactly? Small class sizes? Just do an honors program if thats the case. You need a prestigious name to cut through the 1000 applications jobs get nowadays.

Wake, Tulane, and BC are very well regarded institutions. Many colleges are. I don't get the childish urge to sneer at different colleges. And that's not meant as an insult to children because even they don't do that.

It is rather odd.
