If Emory isnt a top school, Georgetown will never be. Georgetown has been ranked in the Top 20 for only 9 years, Emory over 30. GUs gloval ranking is 302, Emory 69. Honestly, GU is holding on to top school status by a whisker. |
GU is the weakest private in the T25 by acceptance rate, stats, and ranking. You seem biased. |
Now compare both by business/finance outcomes? |
| JHU and Emory are both great at what they do (public health, medical) and have a similar social vibe. Both are also in close proximity to other selective universities. The only difference I can see is that Emory is in a nicer location and has better weather and that JHU is a harder admit. |
| It is unbelievable that OP’s simple, factual question can turn into a ranking war! |
Thank you Emory mom. Emory hate is so forced. Also GU has clearly fallen off, barely outpacing GAtech. |
JHU has medical school, school of public health, school for international relations, and graduate writing program all ranked in T5. Hopkins has a school of engineering, Emory does not. Hopkins has T20 D1 men’s and women’s lacrosse teams. Hopkins has a significantly higher yield than Emory. Cross admits prefer Hopkins by an incredibly rate of 78 percent to 22. |
Start a new thread, Emory mom. No one on this one cares. |
High school diploma mom loves to use the term "Emory mom." |
Well, I do have a high school diploma, I also have two T10 degrees as well. And for those keeping track, that’s a tier Emory will never be in. |
| I don’t think the students at Emory are spending too much time mulling over where Emory stands next to JHU and I don’t think JHU students are busy wondering where JHU stands nexts to the Ivies. Same goes for Georgetown and GA Tech. Students are too busy making the most of the opportunities offered at all 4 schools. |
Not debating your final conclusion but Emory has a great undergrad business program which is a huge plus for many people - the world isn't just STEM. Atlanta > Baltimore for many reasons (all the DCUM DMV people are going to fight me on this). Emory has a better social scene, which is very important to many kids - college is supposed to have some fun involved. Emory has a very good (though not spectacular) law school and JHU doesn't have a law school (I know we are discussing undergrad but you mentioned Hopkins grad writing program). Interesting that last year Emory and Hopkins finished 1-2 in the Director's Cup. Given Hopkins lax, which probably isn't included in that and/or isn't weighted properly, I would probably flip the two and put Hopkins 1, but the point is that both are really good at sports for D3 - I didn't fully recognize that. |
If you are counting a JHU degree as top 10 then you are a fraud. Just saying. Rephrase that as top 15. |
Give it up, Emory loses cross admits 78 to 22 percent and has a pathetic yield. |
Probably true, but Emory mom cares a lot. All of us would be better off without her irrelevant posts. |
