Personally I think pre-med with WashU full pay is fine, but not with Emory full pay. But anything other than pre-med is not okay with either full pay.

Why not Emory? It seems strong in a major metro area with hospital right on campus, CDC, research available etc.? It seems very strong with pre-law, pre-med, strong undergrad business school for the region.

it's not as good a school. Generally bad at stem.

In a private Facebook group, I am in parents complain about Emory’s climate (competitive, cliquey and uber pre-professional) and how some students try to transfer/leave

All premed schools are competitive. It's medicine. And Emory has a 96% retention rate. 98% amoung domestic students. Clearly, no one there actually knows what they're talking about.

Emory's 6 year graduaiton rate is an abysmal 91%. So 9% end up doing something else.

Too bad the general public doesn't agree, considering WashU's decline in apps. Mind you, Emory has the best nursing program in America and arguably the world, but premed wouldn't be up to par? Really?

General public being the 80% of regular decision admits that turn it down? Emory stem aka engineering (non existing outside of Georgia Tech's partnership for bioengineering), physics, chemistry, biology are all bad or very meh.

This is very much not accurate, Emory is excellent at STEM, but they dont have an engineering school, they partner with GT.

7 out of 115 kids at DC private school got offers off waitlist.

That sounds pretty high to me. To what kind of schools?

Interesting. 10 out of 84 kids at nonDMV private got WL offers and accepted (Yale, Princeton, Duke, Michigan, Brown, Northwestern).

Bumping this.

Someone here posted recently that their kid got off of the NU waitlist (after committing to UMichigan). Haven't hear anything further yet. If your kid was waitlisted at both of these schools, hopefully they have other good options?

Because it is full of Asians who wanted better and often will try to transfer to prestige hunt for better. Cause school ranking means more than anything in life it this crowd.

Psychiatrists call this projection.
