Emory vs UVA OOS ?

Is Emory or UVA out of state harder to get into?

In general, their admissions rates are pretty similar for your situation. Depends on what you want to study. For example, business courses at UVA tend to be pretty competitive.

Emory, barley. The Out of State acceptance for UVA is 21.9% while Emory is 21.7%. However Emory slightly has higher stats.
What do you plan on studying?

I plan on studying psychology. Ideally I’d apply to both schools but they’re reaches and I’m trying to narrow my list down, so I’ll probably just end up choosing one (depending on which is slightly easier)

I’ve personally think Emory has a better Psychology program. It leans towards neuroscience/neuro-psychology. Emory also has QSS you can look into that as well.
What are your stats?

I have a 1340 sat, although I’m retaking it this Saturday so we’ll see what happens with that. My gpa is somewhere around a 3.6, with all honors and AP classes. I realize I’m way under the averages for both schools but it doesn’t hurt to try !
