[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For undergrad, students should pick the school that's more prestigious generally speaking. GT is ranked higher than Harvard for CompSci but would your DC really pick GT CS over Harvard CS if lucky enough to get in?! Exactly, same principle applies to Emory. Unless your instate Emory is the better choice as it's just the better school. If you want to pay 50k+ for a school ranked 40ish be my guest but many of us wouldn't. [/quote]

This was never GT against the world.  Harvard is top rated in just about every discipline, including CS, so of course you are going to pick Harvard.

This is one troll somehow making the case that you may pick Emory for CS (where it is #82) vs. GT for CS where it is #5?  Of course you would not.  Unfortunately, most of the discussion is apples-to-oranges because Emory barely has a STEM program, so the kids applying to GT for STEM are not applying to Emory.

Also, Emory is rated #21 overall vs. #38 for GT.  Higher yes, but it is big difference comparing Harvard to Emory (where all the Harvard folks are infuriated that the two schools are mentioned in the same breath), then the #21 school to the #38 school.

Berkeley is ranked #22, but I doubt many people on this board would say they would pick Emory over Berkeley (unless you absolutely knew you wanted to reside in the Atlanta/SE US).

You might not pick Harvard over GA Tech if you care about the weather in the winter. Or about saving money for grad school. Or about the total number of STEM classes offered.

It's hard to argue about Emory vs Berkeley, but you could [b]easily choose Emory over CalTech or MIT based on number of STEM classes offered[/b], cost, male/female ratio, quality of sports teams, social life options, weather (MIT only), etc.[/quote]

This is the craziest post of all...you would easily choose Emory over CalTech or MIT based on number of STEM classes offered?  Meaning, you want the school that offers the least?[/quote]
