[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s a geographically convenient school with strong academics; I’m not sure why it’s getting so much hate in this thread.[/quote]

I'm not seeing too much "hate" so much as just calling it what it is. No one's saying Emory is a terrible school. It's a great school, just definitely not underrated and maybe a little overrated. Which is fine.[/quote]
You need a hobby. Most of the negative comments are from you and one other person. And you can't answer simple questions, Why is Emory's ranking consistently 20 across multiple rankings? Why are its sat scores higher than Umich and Georgetown if those schools are better? Why do Emory grads make more than Vandy grads and almost as much as Cornell grads if these schools are so much better? Where's the data on placement that says Emory has a worse placement at top companies? Stop trolling the forum and answer the questions and bring facts not feelings. [/quote]

I feel genuinely a little sad for you if you really think there’s only one or two people on this thread who think Emory’s a little overrated. Emory almost never comes up in any conversation IRL when talking about prestigious or elite schools, and the vast majority of people wouldn’t place it above Georgetown, let alone a place like Cornell.[/quote]

Okay troll, the majority of the rankings place Emory above Georgetown. That's what really matters. I don't know who you think you are trying to speak for the majority...[/quote]
Forbes, Niche never ranked Emory over Gtown. Also, the majority of the rankings place Wake Forest over Ga Tech as well as Boston College. UChicago has ranked above Stanford for several years[/quote]
That the best you can do Forbes and NICHE?! Gatech and Boston College have never been top 25 schools nor will they ever be so who cares. 
USnews isn't the only ranking either. 
https://www.timeshighereducation.com/rankings/united-states/2022#!/page/0/length/25/sort_by/rank/sort_order/asc/cols/stats[/quote] Calm down, the ranking where Emory is above Williams could support your opinion? Ga Tech and BC never been top25 does not ruin the fact that they are better than WFU, the school ranks better, which is enough to disprove your statement. Also, all these schools have their common data sets where you can find accurate admission data. Their undergraduate outcome data would give you better a perspective.[/quote]
They aren't better than Wake Forest. Wake is a great school. Salary has nothing to do with whether a school is great or not. Brown has low salary output, lower than almost all of these schools.  Emory and Williams are peers, BC and GaTech are not and never will be. Don't know why you keep bringing those schools up, you must have went to one of them. They hardly are even third tier.  If WSJ is a bad ranking (it isn't, it's better than US news)  then Forbes and NICHE are much worse, especially when Forbes says UC Berkeley is the best school in the country. 
Funny, How could I say a school with higher acceptance rate, lower SAT, worse placement can rank higher? This is WFU's case. if Williams and Emory are peers, how could Williams enrolled students have much higher SAT, better placement and much lower acceptance rate? I have seen similar statements from many of Emory students. I went to none of these schools. I reached my conclusion based on data, not your delusion. Forbes was wise before 2020. The latest edition is crazy does not mean is ridiculous at all. I know many students with low SAT scores applied Emory's ED for fear of being rejected by other top 25. And yes, Emory has lower SAT  and higher acceptance rate than other private top 25.
