I'm not seeing too much "hate" so much as just calling it what it is. No one's saying Emory is a terrible school. It's a great school, just definitely not underrated and maybe a little overrated. Which is fine.

You need a hobby. Most of the negative comments are from you and one other person. And you can't answer simple questions, Why is Emory's ranking consistently 20 across multiple rankings? Why are its sat scores higher than Umich and Georgetown if those schools are better? Why do Emory grads make more than Vandy grads and almost as much as Cornell grads if these schools are so much better? Where's the data on placement that says Emory has a worse placement at top companies? Stop trolling the forum and answer the questions and bring facts not feelings.

I feel genuinely a little sad for you if you really think there’s only one or two people on this thread who think Emory’s a little overrated. Emory almost never comes up in any conversation IRL when talking about prestigious or elite schools, and the vast majority of people wouldn’t place it above Georgetown, let alone a place like Cornell.

Okay troll, the majority of the rankings place Emory above Georgetown. That's what really matters. I don't know who you think you are trying to speak for the majority...

Forbes, Niche never ranked Emory over Gtown. Also, the majority of the rankings place Wake Forest over Ga Tech as well as Boston College. UChicago has ranked above Stanford for several years

If this makes you feel better. Makes sure you tell USnews and WSJ about your opinion before next ranking season.

I don't know how to break this to you, but Cornell, Dartmouth and Vanderbilt are all ranked above Emory.

Emory is more a peer of schools like Tufts and NYU.

If this makes you feel better sure. The people that matter say otherwise. Emory has been a top 25 school for 30 years now. Your opinion does not matter.

Wake Forest also ranked above Georgia Tech and BC for 30 years though the latter ones have better placement and higher SAT score.

Emory has cheated on its admission data for decades

…and was caught!

You know what, when I replied to Emory proponents with this news, they just repeated Emory's ranking on US News

Don't know which everyone you're speaking off PP, but there's several Emory rejects at Georgetown,Vandy, and even Cornell. A search of tictok or YouTube should suffice as evidence.

Emory's common data set indicates that they may have more rejects of GTown Vandy and Cornell LMAO

So what are these secret firms that don't recruit at the overrated Emory or WashU? They must not pay any better.

Guessing the low end SAT scores are from athletes.

How did Gatech enter the conversation the school is barely top 40 on USnews and not even top 50 on WSJ. There's no comparison there.
Emory closet peer is Vandy, WashU, Rice.
There's no reason for this thread to be this long.

That the best you can do Forbes and NICHE?! Gatech and Boston College have never been top 25 schools nor will they ever be so who cares.
USnews isn't the only ranking either.

Wasn't Emory included in the 16 top colleges sued thing? That's all that needs to be said really. Funny thing is of there's any top school that's overrated, it's probably Georgetown. But even that is very debatable.

Funny, Colleges have this data on their common data set and undergraduate outcome. The stuff you listed here is nothing accurate

Calm down, the ranking where Emory is above Williams could support your opinion? Ga Tech and BC never been top25 does not ruin the fact that they are better than WFU, the school ranks better, which is enough to disprove your statement. Also, all these schools have their common data sets where you can find accurate admission data. Their undergraduate outcome data would give you better a perspective.

If Georgetown is overrated then Emory is no doubt overrated. Georgetown grads have much better starting salary as well as SAT scores than Emory. Again, do not trust data on those third-party websites. Both Emory and GTown have their common data sets and UG outcome

DP but Emory is not super well-regarded in either finance or consulting, this in spite of the fact that it had a dedicated undergrad business program. Smart kids out of Emory will still do well for themselves, but they’ll have to work harder than kids from literally any of the other schools you listed above.

Proof of that? Because this says otherwise
https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1010579.page
This also says the opposite
https://www.bloomberg.com/business-schools/industries/consulting

Ranked 15 for consulting and 21 for finance???!

Proof of what? A great number of students in Engineering major would not land a job in IB, how could it be adjusted for ug enrollment. I also have a proof here
https://www.peakframeworks.com/post/ib-target-schools where Emory has much fewer graduates working in Top4 IB in the US, but I would not trust these third-party websites. Emory has its UG outcome herehttps://apply.emory.edu/discover/facts-stats/after-graduation.html, its B-school starting salary is much lower than that of Georgetown and UVa. Funny thing, Emory proponents alway ignore these authorized stuff and turn to those on third party websites

How could you regard Emory as a peer with schools with much lower acceptance rate and much higher SAT score? Even Ga Tech generally has higher SAT scores than Emory. Again, go to colleges' common data sets and do not trust data on those third-party websites
