Thanks for your opinion.

Personally, I much prefer NYU, BU, BC, and NEU.

I thought the running theme on these two were that they game ED... which is it? Nobody wants to go there unless they're rejected at all the Ivies or everyone over-commits via ED?

1. Your kids are at a T-20 and applied Tufts/Emory as safeties.
2. You were rejected by Emory or Tufts.
3. The last time you were around college admissions was 1990.
4. You went to Emory or Tufts as a fallback in 1990.

Where is the hate coming from?just guessing.

Tufts and Emory are not peer schools for one. Emory is more or less a T20, and kids applying to Emory are also applying to WashU, Vandy, Georgetown, Cornell, and Hopkins. And there's no telling which ones they get into if they get into one of them.

Emory by definition is not a T20 school. It has fallen. Accept it. Move on. "More or less"...lol.

They can never keep their stories straight. "No one wants Emory"- then why do so many apply?

"Because its a backup" - But 5k apply ED?

"Because they knew they cant get into anywhere else"- Why are the stats so high if they couldn't get into somewhere else?

So on so forth. Its psychotic, and its just one or two weirdos...

+100

Although the college counselor encouraged DS, he would not even consider Emory. Got into ND and loves it. Also for the ones who do apply to both, 63% choose ND
