Remove Rutgers too which was ranked in the 60s, 70s every single year when things were sane

Rutgers is fine. As is UMD and Ohio State.

A little insulting to UMD to group it with those two schools, no?

I think that Georgia Tech should be insulted that Emory is ranked higher overall, making it the highest-ranked university in Atlanta. GT stands out as a truly elite engineering institution. It is ranked higher than any Ivy League school in engineering and graduates more engineers than all the Ivies combined. I will concede that Emory bests GT in graduating expensively educated students and likely provides a strong liberal arts education, but it's just a school. GT's impact in engineering and technology is unparalleled.

Emory is the only prestigious school in Georgia, and GT isn't better than Emory at all the STEM fields just Engineering, and Physics, and Emory doesn't have Engineering so that's not even a comparison.
Emory is ranked higher than GaT for undergrad and graduate school. So those STEM programs aren't helping GT all that much.

(Emory 63 vs GT 70)

Emory has higher test scores, a lower acceptance rate, a students from better and wealthier backgrounds, and better placement in fields where prestige actually matters like Finance, law, even computer science ( Emory grads have higher salaries).
Emory grads have an median post grad salary 82k, while GT is 84k.
That's with Emory not having an engineering school, and having to rely on business and nursing grads. GT seemingly is underperforming for a STEM school when it comes to salary.

You really missed the mark here.

What does it mean that Emory has student from "better and wealthier backgrounds"? I understand wealthier but I'm not sure what is a "better" background.

I agree that Emory is probably the better school but highlighting that students come from “better and wealthier backgrounds” is unbelievably douchey.

It's true, they have no problem pointing out Enory doesn't have Engineering or whatever.

Medicine will always be more prestigious than engineering, thats your answer.

Can you compare, GT's salary to other STEM schools? 84k does seem on the lower side, and I know MIT and CMU is higher. I can't think of anymore STEM collegs.

There’s a notable difference between debating which college is superior and suggesting that students from specific private high schools come from inherently "better" backgrounds. I won’t pass up the chance to call out snobbery and elitism, which seems to be the real reason so many on DCUM dislike seeing public universities ranked highly. Let’s be honest: for many, an expensive education from an institution that makes students navigate an arduous admissions process, serves as a status symbol. The prestige of schools like Tufts or Emory feels tarnished when a large public university, that is accessible to more than just a select few from underprivileged or middle-class backgrounds, is ranked higher.

Don't sneak Tufts into this. And only 3 publics are currently ranked higher than Emory, only because of the methodology change. You would be hard pressed to find people who think Umich is better than Emory but a GaTech booster thinks they're hot sauce. Just delusional. They needed a reminder for why Emory is the best ranked school in Georgia for 40 years now, no harm no foul.

But that's one of the reasons why a school is superior. What do you think really separates the Emory, WashU, Rice, Vandy tier from Columbia, Penn, Yale etc... it's not grades or test scores, they're all the same. EC's? No. It's background.

Let’s be honest: for many, an expensive education from an institution that makes students navigate an arduous admissions process, serves as a status symbol. The prestige of schools like Tufts or Emory feels tarnished when a large public university, that is accessible to more than just a select few from underprivileged or middle-class backgrounds, is ranked higher.

But that's one of the reasons why a school is superior. What do you think really separates the Emory, WashU, Rice, Vandy tier from Columbia, Penn, Yale etc... it's not grades or test scores, they're all the same. EC's? No. It's background.

DP. This is the type of absolutely insane take I expect from this forum. Please post more often.

Remove Rutgers too which was ranked in the 60s, 70s every single year when things were sane

Rutgers is fine. As is UMD and Ohio State.

A little insulting to UMD to group it with those two schools, no?

I think that Georgia Tech should be insulted that Emory is ranked higher overall, making it the highest-ranked university in Atlanta. GT stands out as a truly elite engineering institution. It is ranked higher than any Ivy League school in engineering and graduates more engineers than all the Ivies combined. I will concede that Emory bests GT in graduating expensively educated students and likely provides a strong liberal arts education, but it's just a school. GT's impact in engineering and technology is unparalleled.

Emory is the only prestigious school in Georgia, and GT isn't better than Emory at all the STEM fields just Engineering, and Physics, and Emory doesn't have Engineering so that's not even a comparison.
Emory is ranked higher than GaT for undergrad and graduate school. So those STEM programs aren't helping GT all that much.

(Emory 63 vs GT 70)

Emory has higher test scores, a lower acceptance rate, a students from better and wealthier backgrounds, and better placement in fields where prestige actually matters like Finance, law, even computer science ( Emory grads have higher salaries).
Emory grads have an median post grad salary 82k, while GT is 84k.
That's with Emory not having an engineering school, and having to rely on business and nursing grads. GT seemingly is underperforming for a STEM school when it comes to salary.

You really missed the mark here.

What does it mean that Emory has student from "better and wealthier backgrounds"? I understand wealthier but I'm not sure what is a "better" background.

Big 3 private, Westminster Atlanta etc.

And there is the reason why I chose to sent me children to public schools.

Well...don't dish what you cant take. GT booster had no problem beating their chest comparing it to Yale.

There’s a notable difference between debating which college is superior and suggesting that students from specific private high schools come from inherently "better" backgrounds. I won’t pass up the chance to call out snobbery and elitism, which seems to be the real reason so many on DCUM dislike seeing public universities ranked highly.

Sorry, but in my circles, TUFTS or Emory would be a huge drop off…

Don't sneak Tufts into this. And only 3 publics are currently ranked higher than Emory, only because of the methodology change. You would be hard pressed to find people who think Umich is better than Emory but a GaTech booster thinks they're hot sauce. Just delusional. They needed a reminder for why Emory is the best ranked school in Georgia for 40 years now, no harm no foul.

Good one! I can think of many people who know Michigan is better than Emory.
