Well, looks like I predicted correctly: http://news.emory.edu/stories/2017/03/er_undergraduate_admission_applications_record_high/campus.html
They admitted slightly more students. The admit rate slightly dropped. As far as I am concerned, the stats are roughly the same (if you remove the new portion that is out of 40 I think, there is a modest increase in SATs), so Emory was ethical in selecting applicants this year. They didn’t just start cherry-picking high scores though I am willing to bet they, like most other schools had the option to (at risk of the yield). I am hoping they used the extra volume to select a class that may be more academically diverse or with traits that reflect the direction the university wants to go toward. In addition I hope for success in Emory yielding some of you who got in.
