So Georgetown is more prestigious than Penn?! Wonderful logic.

Yes. True elites don’t do ED.

Emory is gaming the numbers. Just like Northeastern. And Columbia.
It works for awhile until the formula is adjusted.

There were misreported numbers about 10 years ago. But facts are facts. Emory has been in the Top 25 for the last two decades.

Fact is, it is top ranked in nursing and public health (Top 5). Very strong (Top 15) in business and is a known STEM superstar with a large hospital on campus and the CDC right next door.

If you want foreign service, Emory could not compete. Otherwise, it’s right there and a peer.

But this always happens on DCUM. If it’s not in DC or north, it’s considered inferior.

It’s not.

Signed a parent of a kid who went there and is at an Ivy b school.

Source? It misreported numbers immaterially a decade ago. Get over it.

You going to throw Columbia in there while you’re at it. Chicago. Tulane.

Emory > Georgetown in Medicine and STEM

Georgetown > Emory in Foreign Service and Wall Street

Emory > Georgetown in a way nicer campus

So depends on what you want. But they are similar overall.

Weird to ask for a source and then admit the truth.

Fetching.

Guess you don’t understand grammar. There is a thing called tense. You used the present tense. Perhaps the past tense was what you meant you ignorant dolt.

So you are an alum? Got it.

They are gaming the numbers with Oxford College admissions data alone. Let alone lots of other tweaks. Some schools let the rankings drive the school policy and they are one of them. Essentially the same thing that Columbia did. I think Emory is a fine school but so are the other great schools that are not so rankings-focused in their policies.

Oxfords acceptance rate is 14% so let's stop acting like it really changes things. Also Oxford is not Emory technically. Is Barnard Columbia?

Georgetown is declining unfortunately.

The Emory website says Oxford is a division of Emory University.
