It’s not the protests at Emory that would make me pause but the way the administration called police onto the campus

It was the right thing to do. They were out of control, and there are many Jewish students at Emory. Most students there are trying to go to class, and Emory is a medical center with many people trying to access their doctors.

They are not the.same academically nor do they have equal prestige. Emory has a much higher reputation, 4.2, vs Tufts 3.7

What does 4.2 and 3.7 mean?

I see them as equal in prestige and I would pick Tufts personally.

There reputation scores on US News. Academics don't see them equally

"Their" academic. Emory Mom and her absolute reliance on US News and their new rankings for her feelings of prestige and self worth.

The rest of you are relying on opinions. Emory being higher ranked on multiple rankings including US news is a fact.

My kid never would’ve applied to Emory, but I have no reason to try to bash the school. There are a lot of good schools out there.

These are almost entirely influenced by the how well or badly the ranked college does in creating positive personal interactions with the ranking colleges dean/provost who fills out the insipid USNWR reports. It’s not an objecting measure of a college’s actual academic quality. What does that even mean? Teaching strength? Research strength? Access to resources? Student cohort? Even if you can measure these things, every person rating will weigh these differently. Not to mention the halo effect that may artificially and unjustly inflate some college’s reputation. College rankings are so ridiculous.
