Michigan, Emory, and Northwestern are all excellent schools that hang out in the same ring of elite/top schools. Debating which one is marginally higher or lower than the others is kind of pointless. An alumni from any of those schools will have good post-graduation options and an excellent educational experience.

OP, if you’re a junior it doesn’t sound like you should apply ED anywhere, since ED is supposed to be for students with a clear first choice and you don’t have one of those.

That said, if you prefer a college town and don’t want to be in a city, Emory may not be the right fit for you. It is IN the city of Atlanta. Granted, the neighborhood in which its located has a more suburban feel to it than many other parts of Atlanta, and Atlanta has a lot of college students because of the proliferation of collegiate institutions in the area. But it’s not a college town per se - there’s a lot of other stuff going on in Atlanta besides the colleges and universities. Not like Ann Arbor or Evanston.

Based on your preferences - college sports, school spirit, a good sense of community, near but not in a major city, college town- out of Emory and Northwestern it seems like Northwestern is a way better fit.
