Emory is a top-tier school

We looked at Emory for my daughter. Great school, nice campus, convenient to Atlanta. Academically challenging. I jokingly consider it as one of the “northeast ivy league reject” schools. Like Wake Forest, where my daughter goes, there are a lot of students who had credentials to be considered for Ivy League schools But either didn’t quite make the cut or, as in many students from the Northeast, suffered from disproportionate number of applicants from their area.

Emory is well regarded and if your son has the credentials to get in I would strongly consider visiting it

If your son is interested in healthcare, the affiliated institutions are world class including the CDC
