[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a gigantic 40,000 student school full-pay OOS kids can attend with a group of friends after they’re rejected from every university in the top 25. UNC and UVA would be more popular in that regard if they catered to OOS rich kids to the degree Michigan does. About half of Michigan is OOS rich kids, which is pretty unheard of for a public U.[/quote]

Agree with this completely. Some of my friends had parents who wouldn't pay for their Michigan applications because it's outside of the top25. I had a friend choosing between Emory and Michigan for engineering, ultimately chose Emory because of the superior ranking and prestige.[/quote]
Emory doesn't have engineering, you moron.[/quote]

I'm sorry I'm a moron? No need to be rude. My friend made good choice and I respect it. Emory is in the top 25, Michigan isn't. It was a very clear choice especially given that in our social circle you're looked down upon if you don't go to top 25. Also Emory has superior SAT scores[/quote]

Oh, sweetie, time to reconsider your social circle. I'm sorry to inform you that there is no additional social capital to be derived from going to the 21st ranked school vs. the 27th ranked school.

Rankings matter when it comes to first time hiring. An engineering degree from Emory will be more will regarded because of the higher rank. That's just reality[/quote]

Troll?

Who argues that Emory “engineering” is more well-regarded than well...anywhere?  :lol:

Definitely a troll. Too absurd not to be.[/quote]

As someone who's gone through the dual degree program at Emory I beg to differ with those deriding this person as a "troll". When I applied to engineering firms it's true that my degree from Emory/ga tech was generally viewed as marginally "better" than cookie cutter engineering programs like Michigan and UIUC, the reason being that our education was viewed as more well-rounded and more translatable to the workforce, particularly the business side.[/quote]
