Regional biases are still a thing even if it’s just because students don’t want to travel for a whole day to go home or back to school. I’m not sure why gifted students would be looking at state schools since are in the top 2% of all students but the Northeast is not known for their public schools unfortunately. And again with the weather! I hope that is not someone’s number one priority. |
Rice or Wake Forest. |
You're delusional and your DC probably went to Wake or something. |
Lehigh- 47 domestically, 917 globally
Wake - 47 domestically, 473 globally Rochester- 47 domestically, 170 globally Emory- 24 domestically, 72 globally Vandy-18 domestically, 78 globally Rice-17 domestically, 180 globally I don't know what some you you alls problem is woth Emory but normal well adjusted people know this school is elite and peers with other elite schools. |
Emory is second to Duke for anything business or medicine, and better honestly better overall than Rice and Vandy. But I hope your DC does well at Lehigh. |
Duke is still more prestigious than Vandy. Duke does everything well while the other 3 do some aspects/majors as well as Duke but not everything. Realistically Duke is Columbia or Upenn level and Vandy, Rice, Emory are Cornell/Dartmouth level. |
Duke is its own class.
|
+1 pp Duke>> Emory=Vandy=Rice>>>>>>>>>>>>>URochester>Wake>>Lehigh |
Going by this it seems like it seems like it's Duke>Vandy> Emory>Rice Don't know how those other 3 got into the conversation. |
This is way off. Emory is ranked #24 and Vanderbilt #18 and Rice #17. They are all very closely ranked/same level/tier. Meanwhile Lehigh, Rochester, and Wake are all ranked #47. No, rankings aren’t everything but if you look at other numbers like stats for incoming students and outcomes for grads, Emory is a peer w Rice and Vanderbilt, and Lehigh, Rochester, and Wake are several levels/tiers below them. |
This. |
There's been a concerted effort on dcum to make Wake and Tufts Emorys peers, and when you bring ypnrankings they get upset. |
Which aspects of Harvard are you focusing on to make this comparison?
stuffiest? wealth of traditional student body? depth of elitist legacies? High school SATs? Endowment? |
It is pointless to try to rank US colleges. The sooner people realize this the happier and better adjusted our children will be. |
I think these are all good schools so rankings don’t matter that much. You can get a great education and have good post grad options at any of these places. However, it’s also stupid to claim that they’re all the same in terms of numbers, which is what rankings are based on. |
