[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

What sort of idiocy is this.

Emory is not Harvard. Believe it or not, the drop off in prestige after the top 8 or so is massive.

GT CS meanwhile [i]is[/i] prestigious. [/quote]
No one said it was. But a top 20/25 is what it is. Emory's endowment is over 10 billion, GT not even 2. If Emory truly wants an full engineering program ( which they seem to be developing a partial one currently) they can do so. GT cannot afford a  hospital. Also the outcomes for Emory CS is comparable to GT CS even though GTCS is ranked much higher. [/quote]

No, a top 20/25 is nothing. There's no functional difference in prestige between a "top 20/25" and a top "40/45".

GT CS is top 10 in the country, and its engineering programs are regularly ranked in the top 3. Emory doesn't have an engineering program. Emory could spend their entire $10 billion endowment on engineering and still not be where GT is today. [/quote]

MIT, Stanford, and Cal have been top three for decades. Nice try. [/quote]

The only two engineering subfields that Georgia Tech is not ranked in the top 10 is for agricultural engineering (focused on agricultural-focused schools i.e Purdue, Iowa State, etc.) and Petroleum (focused on schools in oil-producing states i.e. Texas, A&M, Oklahoma).

When your peers in the various engineering subfields are regularly MIT, Stanford, Berkeley and Caltech, you're an elite engineering institution. Especially as a public school in a Southern red state.

Emory will never catch up to Georgia Tech's reputation in engineering in academia or industry in our lifetimes. Again, Emory doesn't even have an engineering school.

Zero connection to Georgia Tech here.[/quote]
