US News Rankings

<p>That’s not right. I think it’s been released to Atlanta-Journal Constitution. We’re 20 as expected because the rankings included analysis of class of 2013 which gave less applications and was less selective than 2012 (yahh! that’s me). Expect another drop or stagnation next year, because there were less applications for 2014 also, even though the stats. are slightly better (unfortunately we may get murdered because the 25th percentile is in the 12s, at least the 75th improved though). Honestly, we know US doesn’t recognize the actual attempts for the school to better it’s offerings and opportunities. It looks at class-sizes, freshmen data set, etc… None which have changed much at Emory. However, Vandy and Rice are getting better students now. All of the peers surrounding (and above) us improved in this arena while we struggle. You can’t actually expect us to be ahead of them. I’m actually surprised we aren’t 21-23.
Until Emory gets the applications back up and starts to pull freshmen with higher stats. than before, you will not see an improvement in the rankings. As I say, Emory should work on marketing. We clearly need more aggression (not WashU agression, but much more than we have) if we want to play this game well lol.</p>
