<p>Hey, I was curious as to what Emory's RD acceptance rate is...? Does it hover around 40%??? </p>
<p>P.S., for getting into Emory, are there any disadvantages of applying to the Oxford College as opposed to Emory...?</p>
<p>oxford college is complete different than emory itself</p>
<p>but why is the rate high for Emory at 40%</p>

<p>That made no sense, but the admission rate for regular decision is 42%, if that's what you're asking.</p>
<p>yea.. i mean its ranked 20! Academically speaking is it easier to get into than Georgetown... I say academically because take Pepperdine university with a 24% acceptance rate but low admissions statistics and standards...</p>
<p>other tips guys..?</p>
<p>Acceptance rates are not the same thing as rankings. Acceptance rates are a function of popularity. Popularity depends on a number of things -- perceived and actual quality of education, prestige, value ($$), marketing, location, how much "fun" a school is supposed to be, etc. Pepperdine is a very popular school in a beautiful oceanside location. The median SAT score of admitted students is 1090-1300. Emory's median is 1300-1460. Neither Pepperdine's higher selectivity rating nor Emory's higher SAT scores tell you much about either school. Just as selective colleges don't go by the numbers in choosing a freshman class, students should not go by the numbers in choosing a college.</p>
<p>Emory's acceptance percentage is getting lower every year though, as the prestege of the school increases.</p>
<p>i've asked this before but i never really got a clear response: is it easier to get into emory instate?</p>
