Harvard of South - Emory, Duke, Rice or Vanderbilt?

[Anonymous]

Vandy and Duke outcomes easily in their own class down south, and comparable outcomes to all except HYPSM - and best of all, refreshingly balanced political culture at both V and D

Duke is the overall strongest school, but I've seen several Vandy students pick it over Duke, as they have distinct social settings

I'd rank them as follows
1. Duke
2. Emory
3. Vandy
4. Rice

What outcomes out of Vandy are better than Emory and Rice? Rice has tech placement and Emory has finance placement so what does Vandy have?

agree Rice equals Vandy, but both of them are a tier or two above Emory, which is more in the Lehigh / Rochester / Wake tier. All great schools, in second 20 tier

Liberals and nerds love Rice the best.

Woke kids dislike Duke and Vandy, consider them too athletic and preppy.

Rice and Emory are not well known in this country never mind the rest of the world. Everyone knows Harvard. Until they can say that they are no Harvard

People who matter, like grad/professional schools and employers. Your aunt in Kentucky or cousin in China, not so much.

*people who matter know them well

Lots of students don't care for athletic rivalries or greek/frat scene.

Duke = Vandy > Rice > Emory

It’s interesting how so many Southern republicans trash the “woke” schools in the northeast but they had no trouble traveling north to get degrees from Harvard, Princeton and Yale.

Students who hope to some day seek public office still want to attend the real Harvard and not a Southern imitation.
