<p>Hey everyone :)</p>

<p>Previously I posted a thread about the possibility of the claremont colleges merging. I got many replies and therefore I decided to create a new one asking you guys which colleges would be most likely to merge. Please also justify your answer and mention possible problems :)</p>

<p>I’m going to begin…</p>

<p>Emory and Georgia Tech</p>

<p>Emory would gain a world-class engineering school and Georgia tech will gain a Law school, lots of humanity and health departments and a medical school. Also, together the schools will be able to improve each others sciences departments and the respective business schools.</p>

<p>Problems
Tuitions are very different, especially for instate applicants; The two schools are not adjecent; Emory acceptance rate is roughly half compared to Georgia Tech.</p>

<p>Now it’s your turn! :)</p>

<p>In this day and age, I really doubt any ‘brand name’ school would merge with another.</p>

3

<p>Lot’s of hoops to merge a private school with a public school.</p>

<p>Pomona and Cal Tech? </p>

<p>One for the liberal arts and one for the engineering. </p>
