What schools of comparable size and setting are better than mediocre in your mind?

Duke, Vanderbilt, Brown, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Harvard, MIT, Northwestern, UChicago, WUSTL, UPenn, Rice, and I’m sure a few others I’m missing too. All mid-sized colleges near or in cities. All significantly better than Emory in just about every way.

You're pathetic, Rice, WashU and Vandy are not better schools. You trying to be elitist but then say Rice is better than Emory?! Have you seen a Rice grad on Wall Street?! I haven't, I've seen plenty of Emory grads though.

Have you seen an Emory grad in Silicon Valley?

Wow you are an idiot.

Rice graduates do really well in life. Not all success stories go to Wall Street. And become embezzling snobs.

By the way you are wrong try again

What is true is companies are backing out of career days at schools in Texas in droves . Rice is very very concerned.

Which companies?

Actually, fourth, after Duke, Vandy and Rice.

PP is Emory being the "4th" best school in the south an insult? All 4 are ranked inside the top 20. Did you look to see the best public school on the west coast is ranked 36? Or the best school in the mid Atlantic is 32? This just sounds like anti southern bias. Yes the 4th best ( it's debatable whether it's 3rd or 4th as I do agree Rice is not a better school than Emory) school in the south is better than 99.5% of all schools in the country. Sorry that shocked you.

I think it's just one or two people pretending to be many. To truly call a top 20 school out of 4000 colleges and universities mediocre is truly laughable.

OP before this delves into a troll battle, on US news Emory has the same peer reputation score as Georgetown, Notre Dame , and WashU . A higher reputation than Rice, NYU, Tufts, USC and several other great schools. Emory is a big player on the south with national reach. PP is a troll.

NP. If you’re going to call people idiots, could you at least use punctuation. It’s helpful in conveying your actual point.

It's a top 20 school, the south happens to have a decent amount of good schools. If Emory was so bad public schools should be able to outrank it.

UCLA and Berkeley are considered better than Emory. Same with UMich by most. I don’t get your point. No one’s saying it’s bad, just mediocre.

By who?!?! Not the rankings. Only you consider it mediocre, which is fine because no one knows who you are.

And this isn’t counting the many other schools that are different in setting and size but which are still much better schools than Emory.

Cornell, Dartmouth, UCLA, UMich, Berkeley, Caltech, Pomona, Williams, Swarthmore, Amherst, Notre Dame, Georgetown, right off the top of my head.

true, but this thread is about midsized semi-urban schools in the South. I could give any number of school names but they are not germane to the point of the thread.

Nothing true about what PP was saying, no academic would say Vandy, washU, Rice, Umich, UCLA, Georgetown, Notre Dame, or LAC's are better schools. Emory more than fits into this group.

So it’s the third best option if you’re looking for a mid-sized, semi-urban private school in the South? With all those qualifiers, mediocre sounds about right to me.
