@emorynavy: My own answer to the question relates to technical ranking factors only. Emory, with an overall score of 79 in U.S. News, resides in the the same statistical vicinity as the three schools below it, which currently tie with scores of 78. Any of these schools could, even in the absence of significant change, show a position of 21, 22, 23, or 24 in a future year. However, for Emory to go up in position, it would need to reach at least one of the colleges tied above it, which currently show scores of 82, which would be less likely. However, with fundamental changes, which could arise from either the schools themselves or the ranking methodology, these technical aspects could be superseded.
