 | Quite Bright | It's good for some people, it's bad for others. Take this with a grain of salt. I would say, however, that a big problem with Emory is apathy. It drowns you. just go out do stuff for yourself if you come here. don't wait for others. | Education Quality: A+, Scholastic Success: F | | | |

| | in response to a comment on my last post I wanted to address this/ these person(s). Firstly 70% is no arbituary number when we're talking about KIDS WHO HAVE INCOMES OF LESS THAN $50k. OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK AROUND, the chances are you're more likely to be in prison or homeless or dead than school. And yes u would receive a cheaper or equivalent education at an in state school I mean federal aid only goes so far! and when ur staring down a debt of $90-100k that is alot. I also dont appreciate this person telling me I should be glad i got in with an 1850 b/c for kids from low income high schools and families that might be the best we can do especially since we dont really have many quality SAT prep classes and our teachers arent as good as ones from a suburban elite college prep school. I have a hard time believing this person is low income at all b/c they dont speak like one they speak like one of the arrogant monsters who just care bout the business of getting u to the college for ur money, sick it really is, BE CAREFUL KIDS | Preparedness: -, Reputation: - | | | |

| Super Brilliant | | Okay so this might be the most honest comment that wil be posted because through the admit process I used this site as a tool and the idiots that posted crap kinda hurt this resource so.. yeah THIS IS ESPECIALLY FOR LOWER AND MIDDLE CLASS KIDS, THIS IS BY NO MEANS ANY ATTACK ON RICHER KIDS OR SNOBBY KIDS YOU CANT HELP IT I UNDERSTAND THAT. PART OF IT IS YOUR FAMILY AND PART OF IT IS JUST HOW YOU DEAL WITH YOUR EMOTIONS. YOUR FAMILY HAS ATTAINED WEALTH AND WANT TO SHUN ANYONE ELSE OUT BECAUSE WE'RE A THREAT TO YOUR "PERFECT" BUT THE TRULY PERFECT WORLD IS ONE WHERE RICH KIDS INVITE POORER KIDS INTO THEIR HOMES OR AT LEAST TALK TO THEM. There are things to note about Emory: #1 There ARE two different Undergrad schools Emory college and Oxford College. Both are equally snobby by the way except Oxford has to be nice to draw you in. Trust me I spoke with several different ppl at Emory main cmapus and they were all bitter. (I think its all the money goin to their heads but hey!) Oxford is better but don't let that fool you I went into learnlink to meet future classmates and added them to my facebook and I seemed to hit it off with one girl so I went into the details of my childhood and she totally blew me off for "scaring" her of the real world! I mean how can you go to a supposedly great institution and not realize the world is naturally scary? lol #2 It isn't the ivy league that said the ivy leaugue is not that diferent from emory so naturally they are al categorized together as being "good", in fact state schools (UGA as example WILL provide a better education) #3 It is a VERY VERY VERY expensive place even the teachers (who are alumni) told me that they transferred in their junior year and even then it was TOUGH TOUGH TOUGH TOUGH and that the school provides little scholarship assistance. Using me as example, I am one of those kids that fell thorugh the cracs of the system that even private institutions are bound by. My dad makes $95,000/ yr well okay thats alot right? but my mom makes only $9000/ yr and that is usually spent on food, clothes, and the basics. My dad pays mortgage, car, health, utility, and all expenses. At the end of the day we're only lookin at $5000-$7000 which means we're only capable of state school tuition if that. With Emory I'm STARING AT $30000/ yr still even with the HOPE scholarship nad other federal aid. Not including the fact that tuition increases if you start at Oxford since Oxford's cheaper. Chances are LOWER AND MIDDLE CLASS KIDS WILL NOT MAKE FINANCIALLY IT OR SOCIALLY. I STRONGLY STRONGLY STRONGLY ADVISE YOU TO RESCONSIDER EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU NEED TO GO TO THE BEST PLACE POSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF YOUR SITUATION. EMORY IS NOT THE SOLUTION! EMORY IS FOR MOSTLY RICH KIDS WHO COULDNT GET IN ELSEWHERE AND LIKEWISE ACT LIKE THEY ARE BETTER THAN YOU! THE TRUTH IS WE ARE ALL EQUAL NO MATTER WHAT. YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO DO BETTER AND I KNOW STATE SCHOOLS MIGHT BE A DRAG BUT DO LIKE ME KICK ASS AND GET IN THE HONORS PROGRAM AND THEN YOU'RE GETTING THE SAME EDUCATION AT IN STATE TUITION NOT ONLY ARE YOU SAVING SOOOOOO MUCH BUT YOURE PUTTING YOURSELF IN POSITION TO GET INTO A BADASS GRAD SCHOOL. PLUS YOU GET TO BE AROUND COOLER PEOPLE! JUST REMEMBER IM IN IT WITH U AND WE'LL MAKE IT OUT AND HOPEFULLY GET WHERE WE WANNA BE. WE ALL DESERVE IT EVEN THE SNOBBY KIDS ITS TOO BAD THEYRE THAT WAY BECAUSE THEYD BE JUST AS COOL AS ANYONE ELSE!
