Choosing between Emory and UMich for engineering

[Anonymous]

Emory has a very strong undergrad chemistry program especially related to the biomedical fields and has relationships with places like the cdc. It’s a tough program and weeds out a lot of kids, (end up as psych or nbb majors). the ones I knew who stuck it out were brilliant and had access to strong internships.
It’s a great school but also crazy expensive.

Strange that relatives of mechanical engineers feel qualified to speak on this.

If you want a smaller school for engineering, tons of options, MIT, GT, Stanford, CMU, Rice, Cornell, WPI, Cal Poly, Rose, Olin, etc.

Emory's engineering department is well regarded by circles in the know. I would send DC in a heartbeat to Emory is given the two options

I have imaginary circles too.

It's hilarious that many talked about, or swore that they walked into an non-existent engineering department.

Also strange how many people are having conversations with their relatives/friends/etc. about non-existent engineering departments.

As a recruiter for big tech I beg to differ. We target Emory b/c of the quality engineers they produce, and de-prioritize places like Michigan where it seems the candidates aren't very well prepared.

The Dual Degree program is not an official major at Emory College. Rather it is an academic opportunity for undegraduate students, with an interest in Engineering, to pursue bachelors degrees at both Emory College and Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech).

Pp here. I am personally friends with a bio chem bs and a chemistry bs graduate from Emory. One when post doc in California the other went straight into industry.

A simple google search easily fixes this silly argument:

It's very strange to me that people are bashing Emory's engineering program, when it places way better than Michigan

yes, exactly. emory doesn't have engineering. it's a georgia tech program.

I wouldn't pay for DD to go to Michigan unless it was engineering. Emory is a better exyand better outcome for most other subjects.

Did you read the other posts? Let me summarize for ya!
- ALL departments at UMich are ranked higher than Emory
- The AVERAGE GPA of freshman at Umich is HIGHER than at Emory
- The average starting salary of graduates at UMich is HIGHER that at Emory
- Some Umich departments get you over 90K in starting salary; None at Emory (if you find this data share)

Not sure what "outcomes" you are talking about? Finding a rich husband?
