+1000, Emory would just siphon off all there top out of state students.

Strongly disagree with this. Emory and GT are very different schools. It’s unusual for someone to apply to both schools. The student bodies are incredibly different.

A lot of southerners attend GT. Emory isn’t considered a southern school. It isn’t a traditional land grant college with a large Greek life and athletics program. Most southerners consider it a strong graduate school. It’s okay for graduate school, but that’s it. It has a large Jewish population and many students from the NE. I grew up in an UMC circle in the south and no one considered Emory. It’s jokingly called “Long Island university of Atlanta.”

GT is strong academically and also has a large athletics program and Greek life. The schools are very different. No one at either school even talks about the other school. UGA is a big rival to GT. Emory is also on the other side of Atlanta and the schools don’t typically play each other in sports or have any sort of interaction at all. If you attend GT, you’ll never hear about Emory and I assume vice versa.

I don't see how this changes what I said, Both schools don't compete now because they don't offer each other's majors, however if Emory did offer engineering GT wouldn't be able to compete. However if GT developed health programs Emory would still be fine, because Emory is the prestigious one and has the advantage. Whenever Emory decides to enter the tech arena, Gtech would be in trouble.

Makes absolutely no sense...Emory offers computer science and is ranked #82. GA Tech is ranked #8.

Emory is in the tech arena in a small way and does not hold a candle to GA Tech. GA Tech does not really hold a candle to Emory in humanities. Why is this so controversial.

Emorys CS is 5 years old. Already top 100.

How old is its Math program where it is ranked #55 compared to #26 for GA Tech. That new too? Physics #71 vs. #28?

BTW, I was mistaken. GA Tech is #5 in Computer Science. So now you are going to tell me that Emory will jump ahead of Princeton and CalTech (tied at #8) and ahead of GA Tech, just after another 5 years?

Maybe, but you're changing the subject. Either way are any GT humanities subjects ranked?

Grad school and undergrad education aren't the same. Also the difference between 26 and 55 is smaller than you think (reputation score of 3.9 and 3.2).

For a school that specializes in STEM this was the flex you think it was. Solidifies that the school isn't that impressive other than CS and engineering.

Some GA tech acceptances were sent out today. My friend's DD in FCPS school was accepted

Excellent school.

Ignorant nonsense. Emory mom is a striver.

This was never about anything overall...simply GA Tech vs. Emory. What is indisputable is that GA Tech is rated very highly overall for CS and engineering (Emory not even close) and higher than Emory in Math and Physics. Emory is rated higher in the humanities and nursing. The idea that Emory will ever compete with GATech and others in STEM is laughable, but again, not really why anyone chooses to attend Emory, nor a focus of Emory.

Georgia Tech is definitely worth the cost if you are able to get in. Like most state schools, they prioritize in-state admissions and it is extremely difficult to get in unless you kid is one of those groups that is underrepresented in STEM - URM, female, non-asian, etc.

You will have better luck with Emory if you want a school in Atlanta.

if you are looking for Public engineering schools, I'd also apply to Purdue, UIUC and Michigan.

How can that be? I thought decisions would come out on 29th.

More delusional Emory boosting...

Emory is much harder to get into even for CS.

Is Biology not Stem? How about Neuroscience, and Statistics? Emory is rated better for those. It doesn't matter really. It's clear GT students are unsatisfied with it's current standing.
