<p>Emory's retention rate is 94 percent....any insights?</p>
<p>Do people tend to transfer after 1st year? why? too heavy of courseload?? etc....??</p>
<p>Thanks for the input.</p>
<p>That’s a good question that I’d also like to know the answer to.</p>
<p>To some extent, I that that since it’s not the type of school like Harvard or Yale where, if you don’t like it, you stick it out anyway, most of the people who want to transfer just head to similar schools closer to home (Cornell, Wake, WashU, for example).</p>
<p>Isn’t 94% pretty high though? Seems to me if anything else had a 94% approval rating (or at least, approve enough to not hate it and want to leave), we’d be amazed.</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s only 1 out of every 16 or 17 kids, which definitely isn’t bad. If anything, it shows that students really like it there. I mean, there’s definitely top-tiered schools with better retention, but that’s because Emory isn’t as well recognized by the general public.</p>
