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] Emory is the only prestigious school in Georgia, and GT isn't better than Emory at all the STEM fields just Engineering, and Physics, and Emory doesn't have Engineering so that's not even a comparison. Emory is ranked higher than GaT for undergrad and graduate school. So those STEM programs aren't helping GT all that much. https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/rankings (Emory 63 vs GT 70) Emory has higher test scores, a lower acceptance rate, a students from better and wealthier backgrounds, and better placement in fields where prestige actually matters like Finance, law, even computer science ( Emory grads have higher salaries). Emory grads have an median post grad salary 82k, while GT is 84k. That's with Emory not having an engineering school, and having to rely on business and nursing grads. GT seemingly is underperforming for a STEM school when it comes to salary. https://apply.emory.edu/discover/facts-stats/after-graduation.html https://academiceffectiveness.gatech.edu/surveys/reports/georgia-tech-career-survey-salary-report-ay-2022-2023-public You really missed the mark here. [/quote] What does it mean that Emory has student from "better and wealthier backgrounds"? I understand wealthier but I'm not sure what is a "better" background. [/quote] Big 3 private, Westminster Atlanta etc. [/quote] And there is the reason why I chose to sent me children to public schools. [/quote] Well...don't dish what you cant take. GT booster had no problem beating their chest comparing it to Yale. [/quote] There’s a notable difference between debating which college is superior and suggesting that students from specific private high schools come from inherently "better" backgrounds. I won’t pass up the chance to call out snobbery and elitism, which seems to be the real reason so many on DCUM dislike seeing public universities ranked highly. Let’s be honest: for many, an expensive education from an institution that makes students navigate an arduous admissions process, serves as a status symbol. The prestige of schools like Tufts or Emory feels tarnished when a large public university, that is accessible to more than just a select few from underprivileged or middle-class backgrounds, is ranked higher.[/quote] x1000000[/quote] Sorry, but in my circles, TUFTS or Emory would be a huge drop off…[/quote] Huge drop off from what? I also don’t understand PP…does that mean any private college ranked below UCB is “tarnished” in some way?[/quote] They're grasping for staws... UCB was ranked below Emory/Vandy etc 2 years ago. And it'll change again in the future. [/quote] Cal has been ranked as high as #5 (1983) and as low as #27 (1997) in US News. It typically is ranked higher than Emory. [/quote] Average US News rank 1996-2025. (The USNWR list was greatly expanded in 1996.) 1.2 Princeton University 1.8 Harvard University 3.0 Yale University 4.7 Massachusetts Institute of Technology 4.8 Stanford University 6.8 University of Pennsylvania 7.5 California Institute of Technology 7.5 Duke University 7.8 Columbia University 8.6 University of Chicago 10.6 Dartmouth College 11.1 Northwestern University 12.0 Johns Hopkins University 13.7 Brown University 13.9 Cornell University 15.2 Washington University in St. Louis 16.3 Rice University 17.6 Vanderbilt University 18.2 University of Notre Dame [b]19.3 Emory University 21.0 University of California-Berkeley[/b] 22.2 Georgetown University 23.3 Carnegie Mellon University 23.5 University of Virginia 23.5 University of California-Los Angeles 25.4 University of Michigan-Ann Arbor 28.0 University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill 28.3 Tufts University 28.6 Wake Forest University 28.9 University of Southern California 32.6 New York University 34.2 University of Rochester 34.5 College of William and Mary 35.3 Brandeis University 35.4 University of California-San Diego 35.5 Boston College 37.3 Georgia Institute of Technology 38.7 University of Wisconsin-Madison 39.2 Case Western Reserve University 40.0 Lehigh University 40.5 University of California-Davis 40.8 University of California-Irvine 42.1 University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign 45.7 Tulane University Emory is historically ranked higher. [/quote] Only if you cheery pick the years. Again, please tell me what Emory does better than Cal undergraduate or graduate?[/quote]
