<p>"I expected much more out of a Northwestern student."</p>
<p>-Funny, I expect absolutely nothing from an Emory student.</p>
<p>
Only if you do the same for the um.... <em>Checks Wikipedia</em>.... Eagles.
The only reason I know the Wildcats is I watch collegiate sports. I've seen Northwestern's games with other schools in their league, like Iowa, Purdue and Michigan State.</p>
<p>Unfortunately Emory-University of Chicago games aren't televised.</p>

<p>Well that's a failure on your part.</p>

<p>Let's see how many people here can name which rinky dink league Emory's in...</p>
<p>"Unfortunately Emory-University of Chicago games aren't televised."</p>
<p>-Sad. It's a great feeling watching your school on tv...</p>

- See, there you go again, attacking (with no real argument of your own) my opinion. I stand by what I said.
You can stand by your non sequitur all day, but it won't make it logical.</p>
<p>"but it won't make it logical."</p>
<p>-Things are not illogical simply because YOU say so. If you'd like to say why you believe my opinion to be illogical then so be it. If not, drop it.</p>
<p>Do you even know what a non sequitur fallacy is? Would you care to explain how my argument is one, or were you just using words to sound smart again?</p>
<p>I'm not speaking in formal logic because formal logic does not deal with fallacies involving faulty premises, which is exactly what you've done. </p>
<p>You effectively stated that if one attacks someone for no reason then they are likely to also be a person who thinks writing using big words is an effective way to impress people. This happened when you said "-Not people, just you. After all, it was you who started attacking me for no reason;" This statement in its totality can be considered a premise (if A then B where A=one attacks someone for no reason and B=one will also think that writing using big words is an effective way to impress people). A reasonable person rejects your premise because there is no reason to suggest any correlational or causational relationship between the two. </p>
<p>Not only is the relationship extremely ambiguous, the original premise that I attacked you for absolutely no reason is highly suspect. This makes it a non sequitur (again, not in formal logic).</p>
<p>At this point you are simply trying to get me to argue semantics with the assumption that I'm not prepared to do so. Unfortunately I don't have to be at work until noon and it's 5:40AM now.</p>
<p>Edit: I'm arguing against your inductive logic, not your deductive logic. Apparently you are unaware that logical fallacies do not apply to inductive reasoning.</p>
<p>lets face it..
emory is an excellent school but i 've seen four people with SAT scores of 1860-1900 easily get in. I am not exaggerating. it tells something.</p>

I'm searching for the relevance of this here? This is not a school v school argument.</p>
<p>I'm also tickled that you describe someone as getting in "easily" as if we know how long the adcoms debated and then you say you're not exaggerating.</p>
<p>This is awesome.</p>
<p>Fires love having fuel added to them so I'll throw in that between NW and Emory, I only filled out an application for Emory</p>
<p>The donation figures are money actually received. Many large pledges are paid in over a number of years to maximize the tax deduction advantages. So the figures are correct. On Wisconsin!</p>
<p>Thanks for explaining that barrons. It makes sense.</p>
<p>Both of you stop, please. Emory and Northwestern are both top colleges.</p>
<p>By the way KK, please don't make statements like this: </p>
<p>"Funny, I expect absolutely nothing from an Emory student."</p>
<p>seriously, i'm not even following this thread b/c both schools are great but thats messed up.</p>
<p>This debate is funny because neither Emory nor Northwestern are even in the top 10 and thus aren't worth even talking about, let alone getting all riled up over.</p>
<p>This is not a school vs school discussion.</p>
<p>"By the way KK, please don't make statements like this:</p>
<p>'Funny, I expect absolutely nothing from an Emory student.'"</p>
<p>I don't expect anything from students of any school; I'd much rather treat people individually - not have preconceived notions of them based on their schools. This is much less a slight at Emory and her students than a general way of treating people.</p>
<p>Emory is weak sauce..........</p>
<p>Woah.......</p>
<p>I think all schools in the top 25 are worth looking at, all awesome</p>
<p>Emory vs Northwestern</p>
<p>what a joke?</p>
<p>Emory SAT average is a 1350 and Northwestern is a 1400.......</p>
