[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give it a break. You’re being too literal. This phrase was once used to talk about the development of elite academic institutions in the South that approximated the Ivies. At one point, there was even talk of a league of elite Southern schools playing the Ivy schools in sports. However, that was nixed by the Harvard president who thought they would lose.

That said, Duke and Vanderbilt are probably more like the Ivies than Emory or Rice. Emory doesn’t have the stats, ranking or prestige and Rice is too one-sided with tech, though they offer other majors.

Everyone forgets this now, but the Ivies were once regional schools. In fact, even today, most schools - even the best - have a strong regional bias both in student demographics and post-graduation jobs.

Could you not be more try hard. Emory is T25[/quote]

Emory is great school but not in the same league as Duke Vanderbilt or Rice. [/quote]
Vandy and Rice are not the same level as Duke. Stop trying to put them there. Vandy Rice and Emory are the same level. And they have the same reputation score on US News as well, so clearly college admin thing they're the same.

Duke is a top 10 school
Vandy and Rice are top 20 schools 
And depending on ranking Emory is between 21 and 40. But not top 20. It is definitely no Rice! It is Tufts, USC, Northeastern.[/quote]
Emory is ranked 24, Vandy 18 and Rice 17. They are peers. You're trying to hard. Reputation scores
Duke -4.5
Vandy- 4.2
Emory- 4.2
Rice-4.2
Tufts-3.8
Northeastern-3.5
Tulane-3.4
You're the one out of touch. Emory has the best investment banking placement listed here outside of Duke. [/quote]

Also easier to get in compared to Duke, vandy or rice…[/quote]

Well Duke is an absolute nightmare to get into. If you’re a good student with good scores you’re in decent running for Vandy or Rice or Emory[/quote]
