[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Michigan is one of the best engineering programs in the country - just a notch below the MITs and the Stanfords of the world.

Emory is ranked higher on US NEws[/quote]

USNews is such useless garbage - people have been so hypnotized by their arbitrary ranking methodology that they're coming up with irrational decision trees like the one being floated by OP. NO ONE specifically in pursuing a specific field of engineering would ever consider Emory for engineering over a top ten engineering school.[/quote]
Let's not [b]Emory is undoubtedly the better school[/b], doesn't mean UMich won't have better programs or engineering. For everything else [b]Emory is likely better[/b].

What does "better" actually mean? Per USNWR, Emory is 21st overall and 25th in undergraduate teaching; Michigan is 24th overall and 16th in undergraduate teaching. [/quote]
Better as in, if you had the choice between the two you should go with Emory. Emory is better for ALL humanities, biology, chemistry, and business at the undergraduate level. It is the better school. UMich is overrated while Emory is underrated. [/quote]

LOL

You’re delusional. Have any actual basis for this ridiculous claim?[/quote]
Who in there right mind would choose UMich over Emory for English, or sociology, or any other humanities degree. Be real. Then Emory is a premed factory so bio and chem are well taught and elite. [/quote]
Again, what is your source for this? I don't know how to compare undergrad departments, but for grad school, UMich and Emory aren't even in the same stratosphere for humanities. The gap is a little smaller for bio and chem, but Michigan still comes out on top. [/quote]

But grad and undergraduate aren't the same? From my understanding teaching at the undergraduate level isn't different from school to school but prestige and opportunities are, and most students at DS's school would choose Emory without hesitation. [/quote]
Why? [/quote]
