Their approach is very personalized. They have eliminated 50% of the applicant pool by being all male and then about 80% of the remaining applicant pool of men who won't consider an all male school. So they try harder.
Motto: "HSC - where men are men and women are guests"
My older brother went to Washington and Lee which used to be a mirror image of HSC. He didn't lack for a college social life. But then they screwed it all up by admitting women.
I was around during those W&L and H-S days. Boy, did we ever have fun.
Are you originally from Virginia?
BTW, we had LOADS of fun at Emory!
