Probably true, but Emory mom cares a lot. All of us would be better off without her irrelevant posts.

JHU has medical school, school of public health, school for international relations, and graduate writing program all ranked in T5. Hopkins has a school of engineering, Emory does not. Hopkins has T20 D1 men’s and women’s lacrosse teams. Hopkins has a significantly higher yield than Emory. Cross admits prefer Hopkins by an incredibly rate of 78 percent to 22.
Not debating your final conclusion but Emory has a great undergrad business program which is a huge plus for many people - the world isn't just STEM. Atlanta > Baltimore for many reasons (all the DCUM DMV people are going to fight me on this). Emory has a better social scene, which is very important to many kids - college is supposed to have some fun involved. Emory has a very good (though not spectacular) law school and JHU doesn't have a law school (I know we are discussing undergrad but you mentioned Hopkins grad writing program).
Interesting that last year Emory and Hopkins finished 1-2 in the Director's Cup. Given Hopkins lax, which probably isn't included in that and/or isn't weighted properly, I would probably flip the two and put Hopkins 1, but the point is that both are really good at sports for D3 - I didn't fully recognize that.
Give it up, Emory loses cross admits 78 to 22 percent and has a pathetic yield.

If Emory isnt a top school, Georgetown will never be. Georgetown has been ranked in the Top 20 for only 9 years, Emory over 30. GUs gloval ranking is 302, Emory 69. Honestly, GU is holding on to top school status by a whisker.
Start a new thread, Emory mom. No one on this one cares.
High school diploma mom loves to use the term "Emory mom."
Well, I do have a high school diploma, I also have two T10 degrees as well. And for those keeping track, that’s a tier Emory will never be in.
If you are counting a JHU degree as top 10 then you are a fraud. Just saying. Rephrase that as top 15.

Not nearly as good or nationally important
Emory is more important than UMD and Georgetown. On par with Hopkins for health majors. Gatech on par with Hopkins for engineering majors. UGA also is more impact full than UMD.
Haha, you overrated Emory and UGA and underrated Georgia Tech. Must be the Georgia public education to spell impactful the way you did.
You're delusional
Emory vs Georgetown
Undergrad- Tie
Law school- Georgetown
Medical school- Emory
Business school -Emory
Nursing- Emory
Global ranking- Emory
Won't even compare it to UMD because that would be an insult.
JHU is better but for health majors (public health, premed, nursing) they are tied.
Emory vs Gatech
Undergrad- Emory
Business- Emory
Global ranking- Tie
Don't share any other colleges, Emory is better
Georgetown vs Gatech
Undergrad- Georgetown
Business- Georgetown
Global ranking- Gatech
Dont share any other colleges, Georgetown is better
UGA vs UMD
Undergrad- tie
Business- UGA
Law- UGA
Medicine- UMD
Nursing- UMD
Engineering- UMD
Global ranking- UMD
I was incorrect about this paring but they are in fact close, however UMD is better.
You must have gone to Gatech, good school but not elite.
JHU>Emory>Georgetown>>Gatech>UMD>UGA
Thank you Emory mom. Emory hate is so forced. Also GU has clearly fallen off, barely outpacing GAtech.

emory likes to name drop better schools for association grifting. like the unpopular kid at school it is.
Now compare both by business/finance outcomes?

GU is the weakest private in the T25 by acceptance rate, stats, and ranking. You seem biased.
