[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emory simply isn’t a part of the very top tier, but that’s OK. It’s still a respectable school, even if it does approach the territory of competence where many would start asking if it makes more sense to attend a state flagship.[/quote]
 Neither is Vanderbilt or any of the schools pp listed above. Emory is a very good tier 2 school. A step below HYPSM and a few others. You can stomp you feet all you want but most people will immediately associate Vanderbilt with Emory when Emory is mentioned in conversation. Maybe WashU being a close second association. Those are it's peer schools which is supported by rankings not opinions. You're just going to have to get over it DP. [/quote]

I think WashU is the much closer peer, along with Tufts and NYU... and "a step below HYPSM" is really pushing it.[/quote]
You can think what you want th rankings don't support that. Either you or someone else spoke on what academia has to say about these schools, but academics rated Emory a 4.2 for reputation the same or similar as Notre Dame, Georgetown, WashU, Vanderbilt (4.3), Rice (4.1) etc. Tufts was given a 3.8,  NYU a 3.9, USC a 3.9, and Wake who knows. The people who matter have spoken. You're not one of those people. [/quote]
