[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Take US News Top 50
2. Remove these 5: UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara, Wisconsin, and Illinois
3. Insert these 5: BU, Northeastern, William and Mary, Wake Forest, Rochester
There’s your top 50…[/quote]
Remove Rutgers too which was ranked in the 60s, 70s every single year when things were sane[/quote]

Rutgers is fine. As is UMD and Ohio State. [/quote]
A little insulting to UMD to group it with those two schools, no?[/quote]

I think that Georgia Tech should be insulted that Emory is ranked higher overall, making it the highest-ranked university in Atlanta. GT stands out as a truly elite engineering institution. It is ranked higher than any Ivy League school in engineering and graduates more engineers than all the Ivies combined. I will concede that Emory bests GT in graduating expensively educated students and likely provides a strong liberal arts education, but it's just a school. GT's impact in engineering and technology is unparalleled.[/quote]

I don't understand your complaint.  GT is a fairly one-dimensional school, so as expected it ranks very high in STEM disciplines, but falls off the map in liberal arts.

This is no different than Carnegie Mellon often ranking top 5 in nearly every STEM discipline, but always taking it on the chin overall.

I don't think anyone interested in STEM picks Emory just because it's overall ranking is better...except maybe on the pre-med STEM track.[/quote]
