Both Vassar and Oberlin are great schools, but they do not appeal to everyone. They are both liberal-leaning and rather isolated, Oberlin more so than Vassar. I have a step-cousin at Vassar, and she has no end of praises for the school. Similarly, I have friends at Oberlin who love the school. My impression is that Oberlin is quirkier than Vassar. Both are very strong academically. I think it is all about fit. To me, Emory seems like the odd one out on your list.
