<p>what the title says? Do you think it'll increase, decrease or stay the same? What about ED I and II? anyone got some info?</p>
<p>How many applicants were there last year?</p>
<p>I personally think the number of applicants will have declined, just since Emory extended the deadline.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree, that extended deadline makes me think.....</p>
<p>Well for me that's a good thing</p>
<p>Two different sources lead me to believe the number falls between 15,366 to 17,446, well, that was 2008.</p>
<p>I think Emory's apps declined, but so did most second tier schools. However, H reached a record high this year.</p>
<p>Are the applicants making school's too competitive? Apparently, "back in the day" students only applied to like 2 or 3 schools; today, students apply to 5 or 8. If this is true then I'm guilty, I've applied to nine thus far.</p>
<p>Emory is a second tier school?</p>
<p>^yeah. lolwut?</p>
<p>Emory has an undergraduate business program that outstrips all ivies except Wharton. They are no pushover. Top med and law school.... Not seeing a second tier school</p>
<p>Second tier in terms of acceptance rate, but not quality is what I'm guessing people mean.</p>
<p>They have 26% percent acceptance rate? That's high, west virginia is high, lol</p>
<p>Well, if applications lessen, the admit rate will go up.</p>
<p>wow? Second-tier?????</p>
<p>Who cares? Admit rates don't reflect school quality, students do and professors do.</p>
<p>I was just making an obvious observation.</p>

</p>
<p>i think emory is 2nd tier to schools like columbia, harvard, yale, princeton, mit, stanford, etc.</p>
<p>emory's called an ivy league reject school for a reason.</p>
<p>I hate the term Ivy League Reject. Emory is just as good as the Ivies in some aspects.</p>
<p>I think (not entirely sure) that nahshimshimhaeyo meant that students at Emory have a reputation of being whiny Ivy rejects. I've heard of this before.</p>
<p>By whose standard. I bet u the ivy rejects u talk of make a small percentage. Emory is top school for many, emory could have the lower acceptance rate but they wud be shutting out perfectly qualified kids and future prosperous businessmen and women</p>
<p>Every school has whiny ivy school rejects because ivy schools draw massive amounts of applications. The ivys and MIT and stanford maintain their reputation by rejecting over qualified candidates. That's why people love them, I guarentee u the professors r just as qualified or more than ivy teachers. The dalai lama teaches at emory I mean I think any school can make a case for top tier school, u gotta back it up. Which emory does</p>

<p>i meant emory is at the point of schools where it kinda falls through the cracks.</p>
<p>the schools i mentioned before have the most qualified kids in the whole nation apply every year.</p>
<p>then we have schools like BC, NYU, etc. which are pretty respectable institutions but in most aspects, can't compare to the ivies and ivy+'s.</p>
<p>then we have schools like emory and rice. i consider them on the lower rungs of the top schools, and as a result, alot of the students who are qualified for emory are also qualified for the ivies and ivy+'s. many of these students attempt to go to one of the schools i've mentioned in my previous post. only if/when rejected do they go to emory.</p>
