Of course UVA is an exception

But UVA is better than GT and UGA.

It is absolutely not better than GT. You all seriously underestimate these schools.

GT is only good at engineering and some STEM. UVA is better for almost everything else.

GT is what it is, and it is better than UVA in almost all significant shared fields of study.

GT boosters clearly have 2nd place syndrome, always trying to prove ots better than schools that have always been ranked higher than them. If it's not Emory is UVA, next will be Umich and Vandy. Yall are full of nonsense.

No, just look at subject rankings, research, citations, etc.

This reads like “orange is never going to be grapefruit and apples are better than blueberries.”

That’s only because she’s a GA resident and everyone in Georgia wants to attend in-state schools because it’s free. Emory is not. Also Emory is considered more of a grad school for Georgia residents and is not a place that your average HS grad wants to attend. It’s jokingly called “long island university of Atlanta.” I attended a large HS with grads going to schools all over the country. I don’t know anyone who went to Emory for undergrad.

Emory has a lower acceptance rate for instate students than out of state. The reason you haveng seen people go to Emory is likely because they were rejected. I've seem GA valedictorian rejected from Emory. The instate acceptance rate to Emory is about 2-3 percentage points lower than the overall rate. So the 9% RD acceptance rate for Emory is closer to 6% for instate students.

Having looked at both schools, I don’t think they attract the same type of students. GaTech has a more urban location, a big school energy, ACC sports and very traditional greek life. Emory has almost no spectator sports, limited engineering majors, a very pretty but quiet campus tucked away in the suburbs. Both offer excellent academics.

Yes, Emory is a safer, more sedate choice.

+1 nothing wrong with being in the suburbs, especially in a city like Atlanta. They get the best of both worlds. And yes of course they attract different students, as Emory doesn't have engineering but doesn't take away from Emory students prowess as being the best in the state. Georgetown students are still better than VT students despite not having engineering.

It's not in the suburbs. Not being downtown does not mean it's not in Atlanta.

Most southern cities are sprawling.

LOL so saying it's in the suburbs is like saying AU is in the suburbs. It's not; it's just not in downtown DC. Emory is inside the perimeter--the equivalent of being inside the beltway.

A one off. How do we know you aren't lying? Emory is factually the most competitive and highest ranking school in Georgia. Get over it. And UGA could have easily yield protected that girl.

Public schools don’t yield protect.

Yes they do, what makes you think otherwise.

Why must Emory supporters infiltrate every thread and try to make it about them? It’s so tiresome.

Tech is thriving, and because of that tech schools are a bit overrated at the moment with the general public. However, it seems like US news isn't fooled.
