I’m currently a freshman at a university considered marginally more prestigious than Emory (Rice)



My opinion is that the difference between a three-way tie for 17th in the U.S. News list and the following school (Emory) is less than marginal. However, the fact that you would be applying to a peer school would help.

What this is going to come down to is 1. Do well at Rice and 2. Craft a compelling argument about why Emory is a better place for you to be. Researching your program at Emory and talking to current students will not only help you write a more compelling application, but it will help you avoid “the grass is greener on the other side” misstep.
