@emorynavy Why are you talking about Georgia? That is so stupid! I hate to be blunt, but it is just stupid to say that. Georgia has one of the highest median household incomes in the south (yes! Higher than Florida). And Emory mostly recruits WEALTHY and solidly upper middle class people from metro Atlanta (even the URMs I met were like from the upper middle class enclaves of south Dekalb and increasingly Gwinnett) , much like UGA and Georgia Tech (most of the poorer folks I met were the few from outside of metro Atlanta OR from some large northern or mid-Atlantic city). We are talking households out of range for full Emory Advantage packages. Let that one go. BTW, it makes sense for Emory to recruit between 15-20% of GA students because GA is about the 8th largest state in the nation population wise. Also, I think like 3 of metro Atlanta’s 4 core counties (counties over 500k) are in the top 50-60 for most educated (% with bachelors or higher). One of them is in the top 20-30s. That was just uninformed. Given this, ecruitment ought to be heavy from GA, or Emory is doing a poor job competing for the overlap it has with Tech and UGA. The only reason it recruits less from Florida is because of bright futures keep them largely in-state.
You missed the mark on that one. Sorry. What Emory needs to do, is get its act together and finish the Scholarship endowment. That will make it compete better with peers regardless of where they can recruit. If they can get more scholarships for students abroad, even better as that could help Emory go head to head with very top schools who can afford to provide them aid. Emory has started a “lite” version of this that most of near peers haven’t. Stop proposing these non-sense short-cuts.
