Yes. A dream school for many.

It's a dream school once you get rejected from the better private colleges. I'm sure there are many 10 year olds with Emory flags on their wall dreaming of a fall day watching D3 cross country. It's clearly a good school and congrats if your kid goes there as it's a nice admit.

You can say this about any school outside the T10.

You are wrong.The fundamental divide isn't just about academic rankings, it's about cultural integration. A lot of state flagships are genuinely the first choice for students, whether for the sports culture or just having a strong school in their backyard. My state flagship was a clear first choice for me, and it wasn't and isn't a top 10 college.

That's the real difference between schools. Some schools literally are their community as they reflect the values of the state and generate massive civic pride, while others exist in the community but nobody has a clear attachment unless they're directly connected to the school.

Let me put it this way: Emory could disappear and whatever gap is left would be filled with little real impact on the community. If UGA or GT were to no longer exist, it would leave a massive hole in Georgia's culture. This doesn't mean Emory isn't a better school than UGA and GT, but people don't fly Emory flags from their cars on game day, tailgate, or dream of just being there. Most Emory students probably dreamed of a top school, while UGA, Ohio State, Penn State, Nebraska and many other schools with real community connection and school spirit have kids dreaming of the school regardless of academic reputation.

Once again confirming you're a GT loser. Yes GT and UGA disappearing would leave a big whole for GEORGIA but thats where it ends. The reason why you haven't seen any Emory flags is because you aren't around any elite circles. The best a GT grad can be is some IT middle manager for a F1000 company. UGA even worse. Ive been to many neighborhoods in the metro Atlanta area where homes START at $1 million where you see Emory, Georgetown, Ivys etc flying in the yard. Never those 2 lesser schools you're desperate to boost. Emory is the top choice for many private school students, if it wasn't Emory wouldn't be made of 60% private high school students. You aren't privy to that and its obvious you never will be. Emory is the best school in Georgia, Top 5 in the south, and Top25 in the nation. Nothing you can do or say to change that. And its obvious that irks your nerves. You're worried about the wrong things, you nor your children could get into Emory on their best day. Emory is the "second choice" ( if you say so) for the absolute best, and wealthiest students in the world. Such a pity. Loser.


I'm not the poster you are responding to but I am a GT person (not sure the poster you responded to is or UGA). Frankly, I'm not sure most of the posters you believe are GT actually are. But I have repeatedly read your posts in this thread misstating things about GT. Your repeated name calling, non-factual assertions and apparent vitriol towards a school like GT is just plain bizarre at this point. I know a lot about Emory and like the school and they have a very close and beneficial connection to GT and your posts are not a good representative of the Emory community which actually truly values their relationship in Atlanta to GT.

Emory students do not care about GT or other Georgia schools. (probably vice versa). Suppose you mean professors, then , I'm sure they're all friends. But who cares about that? To sit here and read this thread and not call out the non-factual assertions about Emory shows how biased you are.


Wait...Weren't you the one boasting early in this thread about Emory students being able to take classes in Biomedical Engineering at GT in a coordinated program?

I did nothing more than answer the question about schools outside the top 10 being a top choice for some students. You may not realize it, but you're defining Emory's value purely through wealth, prestige, and rankings, while I'm talking about the broad cultural connections that create lasting community bonds across all social and economic levels and that's what really drives kids to want to attend these larger schools with strong community ties.

Both types of institutions have important roles to play. Emory excels academically in some areas and serves students seeking that kind of excellence. But it seems your identity might be tied up in Emory's prestige rather than appreciating that different schools serve different valuable functions in their communities. The fact that you had to resort to personal attacks and wealth signaling rather than engaging with the actual point suggests you missed what I was really saying about community integration versus academic ranking.

Correct. It is not a zero sum game. But unfortunately some people seem like they can't be happy unless other people are unhappy and they are taking other people down. Welcome to America in the age of Trump.

NP; Wow. That poster is really living rent free in your head. You are right that they were overstating UGA and GT a bit, but they are still great schools and no need to totally bash them like that. In your effort to make them seem like a loser, you actually made yourself look like a loser. Show some class. And chill out.

Was starting a thread like this chill? Its okay to match energy sometimes. Thats what bullies need. Would an Emory grad start a thread like this about GT or Uga?


I'm pretty confident No UGA or GT grad started this thread.

They sure did swarm it, pun intended.

It's a dream school once you get rejected from the better private colleges. I'm sure there are many 10 year olds with Emory flags on their wall dreaming of a fall day watching D3 cross country. It's clearly a good school and congrats if your kid goes there as it's a nice admit.

You can say this about any school outside the T10.

You are wrong.The fundamental divide isn't just about academic rankings, it's about cultural integration. A lot of state flagships are genuinely the first choice for students, whether for the sports culture or just having a strong school in their backyard. My state flagship was a clear first choice for me, and it wasn't and isn't a top 10 college.

That's the real difference between schools. Some schools literally are their community as they reflect the values of the state and generate massive civic pride, while others exist in the community but nobody has a clear attachment unless they're directly connected to the school.

Let me put it this way: Emory could disappear and whatever gap is left would be filled with little real impact on the community. If UGA or GT were to no longer exist, it would leave a massive hole in Georgia's culture. This doesn't mean Emory isn't a better school than UGA and GT, but people don't fly Emory flags from their cars on game day, tailgate, or dream of just being there. Most Emory students probably dreamed of a top school, while UGA, Ohio State, Penn State, Nebraska and many other schools with real community connection and school spirit have kids dreaming of the school regardless of academic reputation.

Once again confirming you're a GT loser. Yes GT and UGA disappearing would leave a big whole for GEORGIA but thats where it ends. The reason why you haven't seen any Emory flags is because you aren't around any elite circles. The best a GT grad can be is some IT middle manager for a F1000 company. UGA even worse. Ive been to many neighborhoods in the metro Atlanta area where homes START at $1 million where you see Emory, Georgetown, Ivys etc flying in the yard. Never those 2 lesser schools you're desperate to boost. Emory is the top choice for many private school students, if it wasn't Emory wouldn't be made of 60% private high school students. You aren't privy to that and its obvious you never will be. Emory is the best school in Georgia, Top 5 in the south, and Top25 in the nation. Nothing you can do or say to change that. And its obvious that irks your nerves. You're worried about the wrong things, you nor your children could get into Emory on their best day. Emory is the "second choice" ( if you say so) for the absolute best, and wealthiest students in the world. Such a pity. Loser.

Emory falls in the same niche as the Tufts and Wash U’s of the world. Kids aren’t dressed in Tufts or Emory outfits the minute they’re born.
