According to the COHE, there is a 90% chance at both [url=<a href=“http://chronicle.com/article/Where-Does-Your-Freshman-Class/129547/#id=139658]Emory[/url”>http://chronicle.com/article/Where-Does-Your-Freshman-Class/129547/#id=139658]Emory[/url</a>] and [url=<a href=“http://chronicle.com/article/Where-Does-Your-Freshman-Class/129547/#id=130697]Wesleyan[/url”>http://chronicle.com/article/Where-Does-Your-Freshman-Class/129547/#id=130697]Wesleyan[/url</a>] that any two freshmen come from different states. </p>
<p>Emory by region
36.2% Southeast
18.8% Mid-Atlantic
10% West
7.5% Midwest
5% New England
5% Southwest
17.5% International</p>
<p>Wesleyan by region
35% Mid-Atlantic
22% West
17% New England
7% South
6% Midwest
12% International</p>
<p>They seem pretty similar. Both draw almost exactly 60% of their students from the east coast and pull heavily from the Mid-Atlantic. Emory draws more from the South, whereas Wesleyan has greater pull on the west coast. </p>
<p>According to IPEDS, which gets its info directly from colleges, 63% of Emory students and 51% of Wesleyan students receive financial aid, indicating a slight edge to Emory for economic diversity. Wesleyan students on financial aid receive larger grants on average ($34,487) than Emory students ($28,462), however, indicating either that Wesleyan is more generous or has slightly poorer students.</p>

This is true; Oxford students make up approximately 25% of the freshman class at Emory. I suspect the presence of Oxford means that Emory has a wider range of student ability as well. Oxford is noticeably less selective than Emory’s main campus and has a much lower yield. </p>
<p>Emory: 26% admitted, average SAT (M/CR) 1359, average GPA 3.77, yield 30%
Oxford: 41% admitted, average SAT (M/CR) 1279, average GPA 3.56, yield 16%</p>
<p>Wesleyan: 24% admitted, average GPA unknown (but 61% had 3.75+, so likely 3.8+), 35% yield</p>

Have you visited both? That might help you decide, if you haven’t done that yet. The good news is that I don’t think you could go wrong with either one. </p>
<p>I would create a checklist based on criteria like size, location, academics (finance/business school vs. econ/liberal arts), and other factors, and see which college comes out ahead in the factors you deem important. You seem to enjoy different things about each school, so I don’t think anyone here can tell you which one to pick.</p>
