<p>sliknik please back up your claim that Rice is academically superior to Emory. I dislike going simply by rankings, but Emory has top 10 undergraduate business, is amazing for pre med, top 10 for psycology, top 10 for other programs such as religion, french etc. It has a top 20 law AND medical school for grad… lets not even get into the Rollins school of public health which I think is the best in the nation (Yes, Rice is primarily an undergrad institution) but just showing you that, if anything, Emory has the edge in academics. However, Rice would be more appealing for Engineering students although Emory does have a 3-2 combined program with Georgia Tech that is ranked 2nd in the nation. </p>
<p>To address the diversity question, Emory has an incoming International student percentage of about 13% and about 40 percent or either asain, african american, hispanic or native american. The diversity is incredible.</p>
<p>According to this ranking, Emory is 2nd in the nation in terms of diversity… Rice is 12 spots back)
