I’m participating in this silly discussion so I’m no better. I went to one of these schools and I’m familiar with the other. Both are excellent but not Ivies. Whatever. Relative school prestige differences are nonsense and won’t pay for a cup of coffee. Doing well and being fully engaged is what it’s all about. Go where you believe that’ll happen. From my experience, the school and my success there, opened every door in terms of job opportunities and top grad schools. I can’t prove it but I felt I was on the same level as if I attended an Ivy-which I did for grad and professional schools. My classmates and friends aLL enjoyed similar success. Either school will offer fantastic opportunities if you fully engage and take advantage.

Only 17% submitted a rank at Emory versus 49% at Georgetown. LOL

100% of Georgetown's freshman class reported their standardized test scores. Lest than 70% of Emory's freshman class reported their standardized test scores. LOL

Emorys Test scores were higher than Georgetowns in 2019/2020. Emory has always had higher test scores, TO isnt changing that.

TO is definitely changing that.

Students with higher scores submit; those with lower scores don't.

Yep

"Emory University offers four undergraduate schools. In your first two years, you'll complete foundational classes at either Emory College in Atlanta or Oxford College in Oxford, Georgia.

low for Emory? lol how do you know that when well over 30% don't even submit scores and are below the reported medians. Stop the nonsense.

Emorys median is 1510, 1470 is good for GU. Because so many submit at Emory the median is set and wont change when they go TO. Also a 1470 is lower than Emorys median when they were TR. GU is a gpa school, Emory prefers higher test scores.

Please please stop already. That is not the true median for Emory. Does not include the well over 30-40% that don't submit their low scores.

32% is not well over 30. Stop it. Also most of those are hooked students.

BS. How would they have ~30% hooked students?

How would they not? 9% black, 11% Latino, 5% mixed race, then add legacy and athletes?

WTF? Why do you assume that most of the TO kids are POC?!

Are we being obtuse? Those are the biggest hooks.

ADLC and FGLI are hooks.

Not skin color, FFS.

And legacy kids are generally well-qualified.

So you get some athletes and some FGLI but that’s nowhere near 30%.

Yall are trying to gaslight, its a poor attempt. URM has and always will be a hook, are all URMs TO of course not, but they are much more likely to be than others.

So? Georgetown also has 100% freshman class reporting scores. Emory has less than 70% admitted students that reported their standardized test scores. Georgetown for the win!
