[quote=Anonymous]They are both great schools. Emory is probably less well-known than Georgetown because it's older and in the nation's capital, but both offer great educations. If a kid wants to live/work in DC or the northeast, Georgetown probably has an edge; if in the South, Emory has a slight edge.  Also depends on what fields are of greatest interest to a kid.

According to the Dept. of Education's College Scorecard, Georgetown's graduation and retention rates are slightly higher than Emory's; median earnings of Georgetown graduates (>$93k) are a good deal higher than Emory graduates (~$72k). Georgetown's has fewer students receiving Pell grants (14%)and a higher percentage of white students (51%) compared to Emory (19% and 39%, respectively).

Georgetown has a better law school. Emory has a better medical school. According to Parchment (FWIW), students admitted to both choose Georgetown 74% of the time and Emory 26% of the time.

But basically, the rankings difference for the undergraduate programs is negligible. (And silly to obsess over. Is Yale "better" than Harvard? Is Stanford "worse" than MIT? Georgetown is not "better" than Emory, and Emory is not "better" than Georgetown.)
