The mascot is fun.

The craziest thing about this whole thing is someone mentioning Rice and Wake in the same sentence. The two should never be in the same breath. Rice is and will continue to be the best university in the South. Rankings that cause people to lose their minds about colleges in America today mean nothing by the way.

You can have pointless arguments about one school being "better" than another without being so nasty towards the school you think is lesser.

There are so many sad, angry, ignorant posters here.


Sweetie, this is a thread about Wake. Some crazy lady started chirping about Emory, as she does in nearly every thread. People get sick of her.


+1

I have no connection to either school - just tuned in to read about Wake.

The Emory sideshow is absolutely bizarre. Enough already.

I know a few Wake alums. My sibling, who was a social sciences major at Wake, went to a T10 business school and works at a Fang. Two more recent grads (last 5 years) who both work in NYC for PE firms. Several doctors who work at Hopkins with my spouse. And another recent grad who works at the best engineering firm in Baltimore. Being social and smart generally serves people well.

Seriously? You really need to learn some perspective. No one is downwardly mobile because they are attending Wake.

You literally didn’t read OPs initial post…asked about Wake vs Emory, Vandy and UNC.


Vandy=Emory>UNC>>Wake
Vandy is Health and law
Emory is Health and Business
UNC is only Health
Wake is Wake.

Why would anybody pick Emory over Wake? Yuck.

Because Wake yikes while Emory is a semi top college.

If emory is a semi top college, so is CMU, Washu, Rice , ND, Gtown, Umich, UCLa and Vandy right??

Of course. But the point is Wake isn’t in this league. It’s not even T50.


Wake is just below most of those, and there is no shame in that. I'm guessing that for most of those schools, a majority would choose the other ones over Wake, but there would be a critical mass who would choose Wake for a variety of reasons. I could make a compelling argument for choosing Wake over most of them, but they are very specific to certain kids (i.e. Wake would be a happier college experience than CMU, plus CMU is pretty specialized in its areas of excellence so if that's not your think, they are actually pretty close).

Just below is subjective. If By just below you mean if im paying full price for the Emory tier schools, ill only pay 40% for Wake tier schools then yes, its just below.


Emory and wake are the same tier. Wake actually wins cross admits.

24 vs 51 is not the same tier. Most students arent applying to both schools. In fact Wake doesn't get that many applications to begin with.


No one cares about the dei rankings. Emory does well by DEI measures because they take a ton of questbridge kids.

Emory has been T25 forever though, has Wake?


Wake was ranked in the 20s for 25 years, right up to the change of methodology in 2023, and unlike Emory, they did it without falsifying data for a decade.

Wake was never a T25, dont lie. Bring proof.
