lol GT is plenty prestigious my friend. 12% overall acceptance rate and 8-9% acceptance rate. Next example.
Unless instate go with the T25 private.
Not exactly, for CS, GT is better than many T25. Even OOS tuition is still much lower than privates.
Better academically, doesn't mean better outcomes. Some companies will not recruit at GT or UIUC etc for CS roles because they arent top schools overall.
Can you name any company as you said?
Recruiting line-up at Emory for CS:
McDonald's
Chick fil a
Popeye's

Missouri has an excellent journalism program
+1 - lots of terrific media programs at non "prestige" schools - Mizzou, ASU, Syracuse. Would you go to major in philosophy? No. But great pipelines for journalism.

Prestige only applies to Top 10 or IVY. After that, best ranked program.

This isnt the brag you think it is. Emory doesn't have any engineering majors. Its CS program is small like you said.
lol you keep moving the goal post. It's not that it's small it's just not very good ranked at #65

Whatever makes you feel better. Emory CS grads are paid more because its a T25. Emory bba is an IB target because its a T25.
Isn't Emory's CS a joint program with GT?
No... they have a graduate biomedical engineering program.

Yes, ignore the Emory Troll . They appear quite often on this board trying to put down other schools which are clearly better.
