I don’t see the purpose of that ranking (other than to show that we all naturally attempt to buy students)…it shows many private schools in the top 20 being ranked near each other as usual. Thank you for adding useless information that isn’t very credible and does not add to a conversation about what Emory should and should not do other than market more and select a higher SAT range. Again many global/world rankings that try to measure something “meaningful” in a more meaningful way put certain schools in similar areas…as I’ve already suggested. You can go look at the USNWR global ratings where the group of schools I mention are indeed close by each other. So Emory, again is in good company but must still improve its global impact which it recently got serious about (literally a strategic plan JUST for that). I of course am more interested in what it can do to improve the undergraduate experience to make it more distinctive from any of these. Needs to put out even more superior products to move even further forward (clearly the current model allows Emory to overachieve considering its newness, it just needs to take it to an even higher level such that such performance is actually not a consistently surprising over achievement, but an expectation. No one should say, “wow, how is this school competing with these folks in terms of Fulbright winners”). Duke has been doing very well for a while because their academic programs have changed so as to produce great products that go on to lead in very high places (which means more impact and easier access for future graduates).
Also of interest is how Emory grads. have similar starting and mid-career salaries as near peers without having an engineering school and not being…well Chicago. I don’t think its the b-school doing all the heavy-lifting. The place doesn’t do a horrible job making those in non-pre-professional entities employable and the pre-professionals place quite well (pre-med overall rate is lower than most elites but its performance in terms of “top” school placement is still as strong as ever. MBA and Law School placement have always over-performed by a mile and likely still do. Law school being less desirable has likely strengthened the placements into the T14 even morel. Emory was like 32 for placement in 2008 which was basically counting the years where it had barely arrived on the relevance scene…And the enhanced prestige of the b-school has apparently landed the BBA program either in or near the top 10 feeder schools into top MBA programs for the past few years. However, this has become less relevant as students pursuing business now seem much more interested in finance and consulting and perhaps don’t consider the MBA as an eventual path when selecting a UG school. They tend to go w/finance placements instead).
Emory’s next phase should be: “Moving beyond relevance and humility. Enhancing Success even further and effectively telling everyone about it” lol. School is not even the best at effectively highlighting what it does already do superlatively well unless there is a huge event like E.Bola outbreak or something.
