Emory is not Harvard. Believe it or not, the drop off in prestige after the top 8 or so is massive.

GT CS meanwhile is prestigious.

No one said it was. But a top 20/25 is what it is. Emory's endowment is over 10 billion, GT not even 2. If Emory truly wants an full engineering program ( which they seem to be developing a partial one currently) they can do so. GT cannot afford a hospital. Also the outcomes for Emory CS is comparable to GT CS even though GTCS is ranked much higher.

No, a top 20/25 is nothing. There's no functional difference in prestige between a "top 20/25" and a top "40/45".

GT CS is top 10 in the country, and its engineering programs are regularly ranked in the top 3. Emory doesn't have an engineering program. Emory could spend their entire $10 billion endowment on engineering and still not be where GT is today.

MIT, Stanford, and Cal have been top three for decades. Nice try.

Nobody in industry cares about the rank of your program. Nobody. They never say "oh we gotta have an MIT grad for this project, Kansas State won't do."

Elite tech companies, elite IBs, Management Consulting firms, EP/HF certainly do.

I guess that's true if we define elite as "the ones who care about program rank".

The multi-billion dollar companies I've worked for do not.

Maybe you do IT work as opposed to CS work.

Here's where the leadership of some elite tech firms did their undergrad work. They don't care.

And here's a list for finance. They don't care either.

Beginning to get UVA vibes from Gatech people.

Huh? The Emory boosters — who just had to try to derail a thread about GaT — are the ones radiating UVA vibes.

No they're radiating Emory booster vibes. Don't conflate the two.

I agree that the Emory booster(s) are more delusional than the UVA boosters, but they both have this weird compulsion to jump on any unrelated thread about another school in their state to insist that their school is better.

UVA and Emory are the best schools in their respective states. And GT students started it with Emory first, of you read the reddit post. Either way nothing said is a lie, what's delusional is thinking GT is prestigious in any way.
