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

Beginning to get UVA vibes from Gatech people.[/quote]

Huh? The Emory boosters — who just had to try to derail a thread about GaT — are the ones radiating UVA vibes. [/quote]

No they're radiating Emory booster vibes.  Don't conflate the two.[/quote]

I agree that the Emory booster(s) are more delusional than the UVA boosters, but they both have this weird compulsion to jump on any unrelated thread about another school in their state to insist that their school is better. [/quote]
UVA and Emory are the best schools in their respective states. And GT students started it with Emory first, of you read the reddit post. Either way nothing said is a lie, what's delusional is thinking GT is prestigious in any way. [/quote]

University of Kentucky is the best school in the entire state of Kentucky!.[/quote]
