<p>It's a good school and that. (everybody knows that) </p>
<p>but why and how specifically?</p>
<p>i just feel like I am wasting my time applying there...... sad...:(</p>
<p>you really don't. it's basically George Mason mixed with WashU.</p>
<p>actually, i don't even really know well about Washu and jeorge mason.</p>
<p>I am tired. :p</p>
<p>callingducks,</p>
<p>how is emory = wash u + george mason?</p>
<p>i applied to emory and still don't know a whole lot about the school, so I'm curious.</p>
<p>I applied to Emory. Withdrew my application because of ED success elsewhere, but I definitely would have been happy to go there.</p>
<p>It's a solid school with a lot of money. They're one of the few schools that has launched a competitive effort in the latest round of the financial aid arms race. (Emory</a> Advantage)</p>
<p>Oxford College is a unique system. No football team is also a relative rarity. Their b-school is 4th in US news. Atlanta has a more temperate climate than Emory's northeastern peers. The Dalai Lama hearts Emory.</p>
<p>Its a very strong academic school, that is a tad bit competitive in spirit once you are there and that is how it resembles WashU...which is a superb school but also a very frenetic student body....or at least that is what we observed when we visited two years ago (with several students telling us privately that it can get a little cut throat, especially in pre med.) But we also really liked WashU despite that fact. We were waitlisted and so we moved on.</p>
<p>If you like sports dont go to Emory. Its sports challenged, shall we say. If sports is not your thing, then its a great school and a great choice.</p>
<p>Emory = Heavy greek + lots of rich New Yorkers + strong academics + strong sports + lots of drinking</p>
<p>Its heavy greek, lots of rich kids from the Northeast AND the South, strong academics, lots of drinking but no sports....no football team and basketball is lame. When I say sports, I mean the sports that fans attend. </p>
<p>Wake Forest is all of the above with a great sports reputation, including a recent NCAA Div. I Soccer National Championship.</p>
<p>BUMp...../////</p>
