Well this is just wonderful considering DS was rejected
GPA: 4.0/4.0 (unweighted)
Tests: (35 ACT, 35 english, 35-math, 35-reading, 34-science, 9-essay)
Varsity Tennis Captain
Started a non-profit etc.
But we're Indian from New Jersey so I'm sure that had a lot to do with it.


Wow, sorry your amazing kid was rejected, he sounds incredible. Adversity can be a gift. I am sure it is hard to swallow and there is bitterness but you and your kid already hit the jackpot of who he is! He will rise to the top. Make lemonade!!!!!!!

It seems as if even Oxford is getting very hard to get into.

They released the ED1 and ED2 data. 33% ED1
AND 13% ED2 acceptance rate !!

I guess RD will be around 10% or even lower


I'd be very interested to see what other schools ED1 vs ED2 admit rate is. I've seen similar at Wesleyan - and it makes me think there's not nearly the bump for ED2 that there is for ED1. I think at that point, they'll take kids that they would definitely admit RD but otherwise the school has already filled half its class through ED1 and there's no reason to give any applicant a bump prior to RD


I think it's a little odd. they could have easily balanced out the acceptances in ED1 and ED2 so that it was 25%, each or so instead of 33% for one and 13% for the other. But this does give an indication of what the overall acceptance rate will be, I guess you can expect it to be around 13%.

Probably. On the tour, the tour guide was pre-med and that's all he talked about. But I do know there is a lot of business students as well.

This.


Explain this? So are the rankings wrong?


DP. Social prestige would rank Emory quite a bit lower than Georgetown, Cornell, Haverford, etc.

Then what would you consider Emory's "social peers" to be?

Same, only got into Oxford. 4.0 UW, 1520 sat, 790 math2, 740 physics, decent ecs and essays. Asian


OMG so happy to see these posts about Oxford - no offense to Emory but my kid would go to Oxford over Emory in a heartbeat. Maybe Brexit is making it easier for US students. Not that those kids didn't have great stats- they did -but I know the British school don't care as much about EC's unless it's debate or crew.


this is Rich.
