I dont think anyone was worried whether you thought Emory was a good school or not. Of its peer schools Emory tends to have a higher test submit rate, higher than Vandy, WashU, Notre Dame and I beileve CMU(could be wrong). Thats along with a 1520/34 median test score, higher than Notre Dame, Georgetown, the publics etc. Also of its peers Emory seems fairly vocal of its distaste of TO so its likely the practice eill end in the coming years. Either way although your particular school or district may be different. The avg Wake forest student or any student at schools 1 or 2 tiers below Emory, cannot get into Emory. And thats fairly evident in my neck of the woods the DMV area.
