<p>Emory</a> Admits Fewer Students | The Emory Wheel</p>

<p>"The University admitted 25.8 percent out of 17,448 applicants"</p>

<p>"The incoming class has an average SAT of 1403, counting critical reading and math sections only, an average unweighted GPA of 3.84 and an average ACT of 31.2.</p>

<p>In terms of diversity, the students represent all 50 states and 57 different countries. Almost half of the students, 47 percent, are non-white, including 21 Native Americans, 269 Hispanics, 521 blacks and 1,130 Asians."</p>

<p>Good lord! That definitely makes me feel good.</p>

3

<p>1403, 3.84, AND 31.2? Holy moly.</p>

4

<p>Isn't it a bit misleading to say "incoming class"? Emory has no idea who will actually come to Emory, and the set of those who enroll could be markedly different from those accepted.</p>

5

<p>And people wonder why I'm baffled that I got Emory Scholars semifinalist.</p>

6

<p>Exactly, jmw.</p>

7

<p>=) lol this makes me want to go to Emory even more!! Talk about confidence booster :)</p>

8

<p>Well, I am well below the average and have no "real" extracurriculars or hook and I was still admitted. Talk about lucky.</p>

9

<p>well my gpa was deff below average. i was super lazy in 9th and 10th grades haha. my UW GPA wasn't even 3.6</p>

<p>but my sat was 1540/1600 haha. rapage ;) my ec's are pretty good too</p>

10

<p>oh, and i was admitted to emory college. forgot to say that.</p>

11

<p>It says oxford college saw a 130% increase. Does the class size remain constant, or do they have to increase it?</p>

12

<p>i know those numbers aren't necessarily indicative of the students that end up attending emory, but nonetheless they are representative of the admitted students, which most would say are the best indicator of how difficult it is to get into any one particular school. so, i'd say we can look at these numbers not necessarily for how smart the students at emory are, but in terms of the relative difficulty compared to other schools admissions.</p>

<p>with that said, you think emory will go up in the rankings, stay the same, or go down?</p>

13

<p>I think a lot of the school's ranking will go up..that in turns..will probably keep Emory where it is now...</p>

14

<p>A lot of colleges had there record low ad rate. Emory is getting harder to
get into, but what school isnt?</p>
