One thing my son likes about his experience at Emory is the smaller classes and he said it doesn’t feel stressful in any way.

Uh newsflash there genius. This is not true at Emory. TAs are not the prof. This their title. Duh

+1 it deserves a rankings boost, at around 15.

Perfect if all your kid wants to do is study. Emory will never be a hot school because it lacks school spirit, sports, and well, fun. It is pretty though.

Atlanta is probably the best city for a college student.

Nothing against Atlanta or Emory - both are great - but there's no way Atlanta beats Boston as a college town.

Boston is expensive and boring. Atlanta is a more on trend city.Better clubs a lot of B and C list celebrities etc.

Having said that the Pre-Med and Med programs are excellent, but so is Pitt and OOS Pitt is $35,000 less.

If you get a nice financial package, it is a great school. We did not receive any aid from them and had to bypass. Sad.

Not everyone lives in California, Virginia, or Michigan. Otherwise Emory is the better choice.

NP

Seems like you are the sexist poster based on your assumption that all nurses are of one gender.

Emory is great is some things. Public Health and Nursing are elite. Life Sciences and Pre Med are top tier.

Pre Business is reasonable for regional jobs. Elite employers from NY and banking and consulting will hire a few kids from Emory but it is a low target school at best.

If your kid is interested in these fields, with these rankings, Emory is the place. If not, then not. USNWR isn’t by major. Wouldn’t put Harvard top tier for engineering. The National Rankings are silly.

Is Emory Law School still ranked among the Top 25 law schools by US News ?

Emory's law school has fallen to #35 in the US News rankings for 2023 while the University of Georgia School of Law is now ranked #20.

Does this make you feel better?
Emory business is ranked 17, Medicine 23, College 22, Nursing #1, Public Health #4, PA #4, Physical Therapy #7. 35 for law is good, I guess Emory is Great at everything.

35 for law is not good, law firms care only about the T15.

Not true

I took an unofficial tour of the campus exactly a year ago and found it to be pleasant and in a nice part of town. There was a nice coffeeshop at an old railroad station right next to the campus that I recommend.

Its okay relative to some of the other schools that Emory is being compared with on this thread.

Emory is one of the best schools in the country top 100 in the world. And no one put down any other school in this thread, I don't know what you're reading but you're the one that seems insecure.

Nope, no skin in the game. Emory good, not great. Sorry if that hurts your feelings.

That's you opinion, you're allowed to be wrong?

Until you prove us wrong
