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.

(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.

You really missed the mark here.

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]

Exactly! These poser schools cater to those who can’t get into elite institutions but still want an expensive education with a veneer of exclusivity. By the way, check out the law school rankings. Emory's law school currently sits eleven spots behind Alabama. I bet you can't say the same for Cal, UCLA, or even Ohio State.  [/quote]Emory is T25. The ones your children can't get into, and the one yall are upset that Gatech isn't ranked higher than... But now its not elite lol...Pick one narrative. [/quote]
GT is elite at engineering and a better school overall than Emory. I think that was the argument. [/quote]
Can you explain why Emorys median salary is 82k without an engineering school, but GT's is only 84k as a STEM school? Is Emory overperforming or Gatech underperforming? [/quote]

Who cares they are both mid-range schools.  The salary your kid gets will not have anything to do with the median.[/quote]
This is peak coping as if we can't read the past comments in this thread. Again, Emory is T25. Thats very high for mid range. Anyway are you going to answer the question? Half of Georgia techs so called elite engineering grads are making less than 80k? Why is that? Why are Emory's humanities grads doing almost as well? [/quote]

According to the College Scorecard, humanities majors from Emory are not performing well in terms of earnings. However, Emory’s largest cohort of graduates is in nursing, and they earn an average of $88,000, which is strong. Other high-earning fields at Emory include business and economics. Interestingly, while humanities graduates from Emory struggle, nursing graduates from several other schools in Georgia seem to earn even more. In comparison, Georgia Tech appears to have stronger outcomes on the College Scorecard overall than Emory[/quote]

82k
https://academiceffectiveness.gatech.edu/surveys/reports/georgia-tech-career-survey-salary-report-ay-2022-2023-public
84k
These are official from the school's themselves, now let's stay on topic. Why didn't GT do better?[/quote]
+1 pp, but it's because Emory is more prestigious simple. If Emory had an engineering school, even a small one, it would eclipse GTs numbers fairly easily. Considering how the tech industry is going, and the fact that Emory is only 2k behind, they will pass GT soon. Which is bad for their brand cause their will be nothing GT realistically has over Emory at that point. I remember when GT grads make 10-15k more than everyone else in Georgia, not anymore. And I went to UGA , so no dawg in this fight. [/quote]
