Emory is a fabulous school for undergrad business and he should apply, even if it is "not that great" and/or "Ivy- Envious." That is all I'm defending.

<p>I am not telling him not to submit an application; he asked for a negative aspect, and I gave one. He can take it for what it is. I do not care.</p>
<p>That is totally justified. I'm mostly defending against this comment, "i don't think you should apply to emory. it's not that great over there." (forgiven)</p>
<p>haha it's just my opinion and he should only take it as that. i'm not usnews or businessweek for that matter. i have never been to emory and i haven't even heard much of it to tell you the truth. the only things i've heard about emory were negative and that's just all i'm saying, and that shouldn't be a conclusion to anything :]</p>
<p>i'm gonna assume you're an emory student/alumni and you just got upset that i had something negative to say about your school. hey, if you said something negative about Umich, i'd probably react the same way.. hehe.</p>
<p>A negative comment is different from don't apply it's not good...lol However, I agree that this is all personal opinions and all in good fun... but now I'm going to raid the UMich board...</p>
<p>hahaha you're right.. my fault :]</p>
<p>lol wow this got interesting but i did get multiple views of Emory...</p>
<p>I got my SAT II results this morning...a bit lower than I expected.</p>
<p>Math IC 750
Math IIC 740
U.S. History 740</p>
<p>Should I retake these again for the schools I'm looking at, or concentrate on taking some science subject tests? Are those scores decent for where I'm looking? I'm guessing most people will have 800s applying, but I've heard 750 and up is considered good.</p>
<p>I want to compare the endowments of Chicago, Rice, Emory and Georgetown.</p>
<p>(000)</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Emory University $4,535,587</p></li>
<li><p>University of Chicago $3,620,728</p></li>
<li><p>Rice University $3,302,455</p></li>
<li><pre><code>Georgetown University $680,600
</code></pre></li>
</ol>
<p>oh gosh... here we go again..... -_-</p>
<p>lol ok so anyone have an answer for my SAT II question? Are those competitive? I plan on taking Physics and Math IIC in October...should I retake U.S. History or Math I or neither?</p>

<p>I want to compare the per-student endowment between Rice and Emory:</p>
<p>

ore significant is that the value of its endowment per student is $640,569, making Rice the 12th wealthiest school in the country, and putting it well ahead of schools with larger gross endowments (like Emory University [359,169 per student] and Washington University in St. Louis [317,849 per student]), and even further ahead of schools like Duke which don't even rank in the top 30 for the per student value of the endowment.

<p>Shall I render more comparisons?</p>
<p>"Big cities up north" safeties: Pittsburgh, Villanova, Northeastern, Fordham, Ohio State, Minnesota.</p>
<p>Bump bump bump</p>
<p>thanks tour guide</p>
<p>Super Bump!</p>
<p>Oh man this has gotta be some kind of dream...academics, a beautiful college, and ski slopes nearby!!!! Bowdoin looks freaking awesome...but they only took 14 out of 113 students last year. I wonder what kind of applicants they get.</p>
<p>brand182.. you are dominating these forums.. hahaha.
anyways, since when did you get interested in bowdoin? you need to make up your mind -_-</p>
<p>lmao hey!!!! I will continue to look...and actually I had looked at Bowdoin and various other LACs awhile back, but like I said, the sheer numbers of admitted transfer students scared me at first - until I realized that, percentage wise, it wasn't "as" bad. </p>
<p>Seriously though, I just realized the part about the ski slopes when I was reading their prospective students stuff. When I first started looking, I really wanted an academically challenging college WITH skiing nearby. I checked Colorado of course and didn't find anything that I was really interested in - at least not for the kind of money they will charge an OOS student. Bowdoin seems too good to be true...but I'm thinking the students to these LACs are probably very competitive.</p>
<p>I've also just started checking out Wesleyan. This is one that I had not seen whenever I was first looking. I REALLY like this one...maybe a tad more liberal than I'm looking for, but I wanted a diverse, undergraduate-focused school and it seems to really offer that. Collegeboard shows that it had about a 40% transfer admission rate, which is quite nice. But again, I always wonder whether the pool applying to those schools is far more talented than one applying to, say, Emory.</p>
<p>apply to swat if you're looking into LAC's. most gorgeous campus ever.</p>
<p>ok i'm not too trendy...swat being swarthmore right...also one that looks really awesome.</p>
<p>Do you think I have a chance at any of these schools though? I'm really liking the LAC thing, but the numbers (15 admits for some schools like Bowdoin) are daunting.</p>
<p>i think swarthmore admits like 25-27 out of like 103 applicants? somewhere along those lines. it's on the website, and those chances aren't too shabby.</p>
