<p>I came across the fact that in 2006 or maybe 2005, the rate of acceptance was astonishing...42 %</p>
<p>Probably is wrong. Or maybe that's the EDI acceptance rate, which is higher than for RD. I applied in 05, and I think it was closer to 36%. In any case, Emory's acceptance rate has plunged over the last 5-7 years. But this is the case for a lot of other schools too.</p>
