There’s your top 50…

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. 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.

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

I know plenty who think the opposite, mainly Big 3 students. Also Emory is historically ranked higher.

If US news didn't pull a houdini just to get publics up the ranking people wouldn't view them differently.

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

Exactly! These poser schools cater to those who can’t get into elite institutions but still want an expensive education with a veneer of exclusivity. By the way, check out the law school rankings. Emory's law school currently sits eleven spots behind Alabama. I bet you can't say the same for Cal, UCLA, or even Ohio State.

Emory is T25. The ones your children can't get into, and the one yall are upset that Gatech isn't ranked higher than... But now its not elite lol...Pick one narrative.

Cal, Michigan and Wisconsin have been highly ranked forever. Google rankings from 1910 or 1925. I bet you will not find Emory or Tufts.

GT is elite at engineering and a better school overall than Emory. I think that was the argument.

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.

If US news didn't pull a houdini just to get publics up the ranking people wouldn't view them differently.

Cal, Michigan and Wisconsin have been highly ranked forever. Google rankings from 1910 or 1925. I bet you will not find Emory or Tufts.

Why is Wisconsin introduced to anything? They dropped eons ago.

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.

https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/rankings
(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.

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

Exactly! These poser schools cater to those who can’t get into elite institutions but still want an expensive education with a veneer of exclusivity. By the way, check out the law school rankings. Emory's law school currently sits eleven spots behind Alabama. I bet you can't say the same for Cal, UCLA, or even Ohio State.

Emory is T25. The ones your children can't get into, and the one yall are upset that Gatech isn't ranked higher than... But now its not elite lol...Pick one narrative.

GT is elite at engineering and a better school overall than Emory. I think that was the argument.

If it was better it would be ranked higher, and smarter students would want to enroll.
Better yet only good at 2-3 subjects? Emory is ranked higher in both the undergrad and global rankings. Global rankings are purely grad school research rankings, academics see Emory better there too. What's not clicking? This is getting sad. You're bragging about subjects Emory doesn't even offer.

I also don’t understand PP…does that mean any private college ranked below UCB is “tarnished” in some way?

They're grasping for staws... UCB was ranked below Emory/Vandy etc 2 years ago. And it'll change again in the future.

Cal has been ranked as high as #5 (1983) and as low as #27 (1997) in US News. It typically is ranked higher than Emory.

Unlike others…I have no issues with how USNews changed their rankings which gave huge bumps to public universities.

If GA Tech still can’t move ahead of Emory and other privates even with the tweaked rankings…well it’s hard to claim it should be ranked higher overall.
