[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know Emory is a good school, but is it really all that impressive? Its high ranking is more due to Coca Cola fortune and endowment than academics or academic reputation.

Middlebury is one of the best SLACs in the country. [/quote]
Emory is much better than Middlebury, a true shmuck would send their child to Miss if they also got into Emory.

With that said to answer OP's question the top 10 LAC's would be equal to the top 30 Unis. The times/wsj ranking combines both unis and lacs into the same ranking and Williams and Amherst are just outside the top 20. [/quote]

All that is wrong.  Though grads from both schools probably know how to spell "schmuck."[/quote]
It's not wrong there's  a reputable ranking that combine both unis and Williams and Amherst are right outside the top 20. Maybe 50 years ago Middlebury was better but today not a chance, most teens would choose Emory. [/quote]

I think the reverse actually.  Most kids today would choose Middlebury or Tifts over Emory.  There is not a lot of buzz around Emory.[/quote]

I went to Emory and before he moved to Atlanta, where we met, my elitist Washington DC-raised husband had never heard of it. Even since, he was convinced our B+ private school kid could get into Emory because, how smart would you really have to be, considering I went there. He thinks I'm quite average. He got a rude awakening when he realized it is valued higher than his coveted Georgetown [/quote]
How obnoxious. My friend and her DD were so sure they were getting into Emory they didn't check the decision the day it came out. It wasn't until they realized DD was rejected from all the other Reach schools (Vandy, ivys, etc.) that they looked at the Emory decision and found out she was also rejected there. Lucky for them she got the fat envelope for Georgetown at the end of the week. They're still as cocky as ever. [/quote]
