<li><p>A lot of students at Emory didn’t consider Emory as one of their top choices. Spend enough time on CC and you will realize why Emory is called the ivy-reject school.</p></li>
<li><p>Emory is not a southern school. Geographically it is in the south, in every other aspect it isn’t. It is not “preppy”. There ARE preppy people, but they are in no way the majority. Which is why I keep on bringing up Vanderbilt. Vandy=majority of people decked in Ralph Lauren, J. Crew, etc. and Sperry shoes=preppy. Emory=huge mix. </p></li>
<li><p>In the south Emory is considered rather good. However, nationally Emory is often confused with Embry-Riddle. Generally the average person will recognize Duke or Vanderbilt or some of the major football schools of the south and have no idea what Emory is.</p></li>
<li><p>Ever wonder why Emory has one of the lowest retention rates of the top twenty schools? </p></li>

<p>I mean let’s not kid ourselves here.</p>
