This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Emory is a top-tier school by dulac89
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
