<p>Sorry, the numbers I posted were for the National Academy of Sciences. To be precise, Duke has 22 members of the NAS, Vanderbilt has 8, and Emory has 5. I don’t know how they compare in the other areas of the National Academies. Also, the number that I gave for Stanford is the total of its NAS and National Academies of Engineering members. I really botched that.</p>
<p>Emory’s faculty clearly does have more exposure, though, given that it can claim people like the Dalai Lama and Sanjay Gupta. Emory’s actually a unique case, however, because its faculty aren’t getting exposure for work they’ve done at Emory.</p>
<p>Also, I’m just going to ignore the twinkies guy because Vandy has an acceptance rate below 15% as well. Clearly very knowledgeable about the subject.</p>
