Unless you want to go to one of the top engineering schools in the country I suppose of which 2 of the Top 5 are public universities where many would consider the OOS tuition worth it. Just sayin. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/engineering-doctorate?_sort=rank&_sortDirection=asc |
This one? https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-engineering-schools/clarkson-university-02115 |
Very smart, very talented kids attend and do well at both schools. It would be unlikely that a student would feel at home at both. If you are not a troll, encourage your kid to visit or learn more about the schools. The prestige that you’re a child’s friends are pushing, just isn’t a reality. Both schools can take your intelligent kid very far! |

The Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, Emory University.
No. 2 program in the US. Best of the best. |
Peer pressure is tough. It’s why my kid refuses to consider Maryland, even though we’re in state, it’s checks all her blocks, and is one of the top public universities in the country.
Try to use logic (tough with 17year olds) when you can. They’re all going their separate ways after h.s. Graduation. She should choose her path based on what’s best for her. |
PhD living on stipend is not a comfortable live. At least 30 years ago when I was doing it. Go to seminar for free pizza. lol It’s nice to save the tuition for your 6 year PhD. Particularly if you do it in a metropolitan area like MIT. |

Big push recently on DCUM by Emory supporters.
Both universities are excellent, but significant differences with respect to size of student bodies, location/weather, and campus activities such as football versus no-football team. After visiting both schools, one's preference should be clear. Neither school is more prestigious than the other in my view. |
Thats your opinion and thats fine but most private school students would pick Emory. |
https://bme.gatech.edu/bme/ its actually on GT campus. you have to do a dual degree program with GT to get engineering/BME degree https://oue.college.emory.edu/dual-degree/engineering/index.html |
You mean GT? https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/engineering-doctorate-biological-biomedical?_sort=rank&_sortDirection=asc |
Best of both worlds. |
You first need to get you Bachelor's degree from Emory. While working on you bachelor's degree at Emory you must complete all the same engineering prerequisites that GT would require. You must also then have the required GPA in all of these courses and for your Bachelor's to then to be accepted for the program for GT. It can be challenging and could take 5- 6 years (a lot say 6). |
Compare that with UMich |
