NYU dropped from 30 to 32 in USNWR because they dropped down one spot from a group of schools ranked at 30, pushing them down to 32. I'd be surprised if anyone sending their kid to NYU concerns themselves with Emory. Just like I doubt anyone sending their kid to Emory concerns themselves with NYU and USC. Why would they?

Also, NYU vs Emory is only 56:44, a statistical tie. Considering that Parchment does not differentiate between Oxford College and Emory College, and NYU is in NYC. Emory is doing pretty damn good.

Good point, that means Emory is destroying UNC then, thats interesting.

The real ranking by the actual people is what matters.

What magazines say are just a reference among many for the real people when they make real decisions.

If that makes you feel better. Med school admissions offices filled with real people. They would prefer Emory students.

My DD will apply only to privates in that range and we will happily send her to Wake or Tulane or even Bucknell before we send her to a big state school. We are happy to pay for the smaller campus, smaller classes, advising and career services. Money is not an issue so it’s all about size and services. I believe that’s a common thought among my income bracket.


Good grief.

A school ranked #100 is in the top 10% of all U.S. colleges and universities.

If you spend you entire life just taking top 10% jobs and hanging out with top 10% people you are fabulously successful.

There's no difference between the two, and frankly, Emory is harder to get into.
Emory- 10% AR, 1500-1570/33-35
WashU- 12%AR, 1490-1550/33-35

You are delusional.

NYU 56% Emory 44%

Majority picked USC and NYU.




USC and NYU have an appeal that transcends their rank, so this is not really a fair comparison. Kids will decide to go to school in LA or NYC over Atlanta given that both schools are highly regarded.

I personally think that’s mainly because of location. Tons of 18-yrs old love NY. LA too.


In other words, Emory is not as attractive/popular/better overall
