How intelligent are Emory students?

Why on earth would anyone who has worked so hard for so many years – studying, keeping up grades, taking AP classes, prepping for SAT’s, etc.–and who is really interested in Emory not bother to sign in at the admissions office while there? When we visited, there were two people sitting at the desk next to the door, waiting for visitors and making sure that everyone who walked through the door had an opportunity to sign in. Visiting schools and not signing in isn’t especially “intelligent.”

The video is free, btw, which only takes two mouse clicks to discover–and it just takes a couple of minutes to fill out the online form.

It makes perfect sense to me to take a student who is eager to take advantage of all that Emory has to offer over someone else with SAT’s 100 points higher who possibly knows nothing more about Emory than it’s ranking in US News and will only attend if it’s the best they can do after being rejected elsewhere and who finds fault with everything because the walls are not covered with Ivy.
