Choosing between Emory and UMich for engineering

[Anonymous]

DD has these two schools on her list for engineering. She wants to study chemical engineering and is leaning toward Emory b/c it has the more prestigious engineering program, but she's worried she won't get in. Thoughts?

I went to Emory in the 2000s and it is not an engineering school.

DD's guidance counselor recommended Emory over Michigan for engineering because of smaller class sizes + fit

I think U Michigan is more well regarded for engineering. You don’t see Emory near the top of any engineering lists.

Technically Emory doesn’t even have an engineering program. It’s a dual degree joint program with GA Tech.

That counselor needs to be fired.

Emorys engineering program is just as good as their football team.

Umm ... Michigan’s undergrad engineering is #6 on USNWR and I can’t even find Emory.

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)."

Michigan is one of the best engineering programs in the country - just a notch below the MITs and the Stanfords of the world.
