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?

Umich isn't prestigious.
Emory has higher test scores (1390-1510 I believe)
The difference in salary is due to engineering which Emory doesn't have. If Umich engineers are making 90k and the avg is 64k, that means the other grads are making 40-50k. Thus Emory grad are actually doing better at 60k, because that's an apples to apples comparison.
Emory is better for health sciences, creative writing, neuroscience, and a host of others.

Michigan business graduates also ahead of Emory for starting salary - $78k base vs. $69k. I would say top employers for Michigan business grads more impressive than Emory-
PwC
EY
IBM
Macy’s
Deloitte
J.P. Morgan
Newell Brands
Booz Allen Hamilton
Accenture
Black & Veatch
Chewy.com
Citi
Grant Thornton
KPMG
SunTrust
Vs.

ACCENTURE

CITI

DELOITTE

ERNST & YOUNG

GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP

GOOGLE, INC.

JP MORGAN CHASE & CO.

MCKINSEY & COMPANY

MORGAN STANLEY

Why are we even discussing this! Emory is not an engineering school, if your kid is not aware of it than they probably should study something else. Engineers often actually read the manual.

Engineering circles would disagree - Emory's small classes would be attractive for engineering students

By "engineering circles", if you are referring to the engineering sorority girls that now work at a cake shop making beautiful wedding cakes, I agree.

This is my new favorite DCUM thread. Total insanity. Emory doesn’t have engineering but the nuts here won’t stop.

DS graduated from Emory engineering school - what are you talking about?

Chances are this thread was started by the same troll who can’t get over the fact that Michigan overtook UVA in the USWR rankings since last year. Too many negative comments about a Michigan with lots of inaccurate information provided. It’s really pathetic.

No, it doesn't. At least not an engineering program of its own. IF you want to go to "Emory" for engineering, you take your non-eng classes at Emory but your actual engineering classes and degree are from Georgia Tech.

"The Dual Degree program gives Emory undergraduates the opportunity to study in one of our liberal arts programs before continuing on to Georgia Tech to tackle these challenges and more. Students can complete a major in any subject offered by Emory College while completing the required pre-requisites for one of the programs offered through Georgia Tech.

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)."

You aren't guaranteed a sport at GA Tech, either. You have to apply to transfer to GA Tech. It's basically a 3-2 engineering program, similar to the 3-2 programs that dozens of schools run with Washington University and Columbia.

"Prestige" as a measurement is not the same for engineering and STEM fields as it is for other fields. University of Illinois and University of Michigan and other state universities are well respected and hire out a lot of new grads at great salaries. After that, your career depends more on your skill set, your networking, and your hustle. You don't coast on your degree forever, the way lawyers do.

Uh. What?

+2. Huh?

I mean, choose Emory if that's what she wants but, that statement about Emory and the more prestigious engineering program is not even remotely true.

Montgomery College has the same program with GA Tech as Emory.
