Emory is much more difficult to get into than GA Tech. They have the superior engineering program

Emory's more difficult to get into than UMich as well, the the Emory detractors conviently forget that.

Correct. The latest Emory acceptance rate is 12% while Michigan remains stagnant at 45%. Emory average SAT 1480, Michigan average SAT 1290. It's not even close.

Emory's median is actually 1470, with a 15% acceptance rate, but close to what you said.

UMich is a 1430 and Gatech even lower than that. Both of these schools have acceptance rates in the 20's.

Why is this even a question.

Emory is a highly selective world renowned university.

Michigan is just another a state school.

There is no comparison, go to Emory.

Agreed. My friends in Asia (who really value brand and prestige) have never heard of Michigan. They do know Emory though.

Emory is a highly ranked, competitive school. It doesn’t have engineering labs, engineering professors, most engineering student organizations, or internship programs.

Very few students actually complete 3-2 programs because of the lack of support. If you want to be an engineer, go to an engineering school. Vanderbilt and Rice and USC are similarly ranked schools that have real engineering programs

Unless your friends are hiring engineers, their opinions don’t mattet

Recruiters go off prestige too. An Emory engineering student will have better outcomes.

Can we stop with the disinformation? Emory has a regular 4 year engineering program that is regarded more highly than Michigan. USNEWs confirms this. Emory is 21. Michigan is well below.

I am Asian, but to be honest, don't have much high opinion of Emory.

An engineering program without a website.

It's application season, so no wonder someone are paddling a non-existent program.

Exactly, to get into Emory regular decision. The acceptance rate is around 9%. Emory is prestigious. For grad school it's a bit different and UMich might be better. But for undergrad, it's definitely Emory

Michigan engineering acceptance rate is 19%; average SAT of 1440 and ACT of 34.

The point is that Emory's "engineering" program is not a BSE, is not ABET accredited, and one cannot be an engineer in 4 years according to the website itself - the student would need to transfer to Ga Tech (total 5-6 yrs, two bachelor degrees) or go to grad school. Emory's program may be a nice option for those who aren't really sure if engineering is for them and otherwise find this fine school a good fit, but it is not an efficient way to becoming an engineer - it's a longer road.
