<p>Ok , i'm curious to know , how would you rank these schools:Emory,University of miami, Vanderbilt, Rice, UT austin, UGA, FSU.</p>
<ol>
<li>Rice</li>
<li>Vanderbilt</li>
<li>Emory</li>
<li>UGA</li>
<li>Miami</li>
<li>FSU</li>
</ol>
<p>I don't know anything about UT Austin.</p>
<ol>
<li>Emory/Rice</li>
<li>Vanderbilt
.
.
.</li>
</ol>
<p>Undergraduate:</p>
<p>1) Rice
2) Emory
3) Vanderbilt
4) UT-Austin
5) FSU/Miami
6) UGA</p>
<p>rice
emory/vanderbilt
ut austin
miami
uga
fsu</p>
<p>For grad FSU > UMiami</p>
<ol>
<li>Rice/Vanderbilt</li>
<li>Emory</li>
<li>UT-Austin</li>
<li>UMiami</li>
<li>UGA</li>
<li>FSU</li>
</ol>
<p>I'll take UGA over Miami ANY day.</p>
<p>It should be noticed that I'm very biased in favor of Rice.</p>
<ol>
<li>Rice</li>
<li>Emory/Vanderbilt</li>
<li>UT</li>
<li>The rest (about which I know relatively little)</li>
</ol>
<p>Depends for what but in general I'd say:
1) Rice/Emory/Vanderbilt
2) UT/Miami/UGA
3) FSU</p>
<p>It's pretty rough, but I've heard Rice and Emory are lacking socially a bit and Vandy has SEC sports/good social scene.</p>
<p>In terms of faculty strength/academic departments, UT is the strongest. However, at the undergrad level, a couple of the others are likely better (Rice, Emory, Vandy).</p>
<p>I'm applying to vandi and Emory.... which has the best academics(overall not particular major)? and which has more prestige in the USA?</p>
<p>Emory is better</p>
<p>Rice
Vanderbilt
Emory
UGA
Texas
FSU</p>
<h2>Vanderbilt's peer assessment score is 4.1 and Emory's is 4.0 so both would viewed as virtually identical among professionals. Both schools are highly selective and have identical SAT score ranges (1300-1470). Although academic reputations are equal, Vanderbilt will have more laymen's prestige because it is in a major sports conference. </h2>
<p>I applied and was accepted to both schools so if you have any questions feel free to ask.</p>
<p>Be specific. What do you want to study? It makes a huge difference.</p>
<p>^^^^ great post. It's very difficult to accurately rank entire undergraduate programs against each other. People here, including myself, are merely generalizing. A specific field to compare would produce more relevant results.</p>
<p>nymets - Rice, Vandy, and UT-Austin all have the same peer assessment score of 4.1</p>
<p>Hey thank you guys for you comments!!!"Be specific. What do you want to study? It makes a huge difference"I'm trying to apply to universities/colleges that are very good in most majors(just in case i decide to change)..i'm still not sure what i'm going to major in.</p>
<p>Pick five majors that you may like. Rank them in order of preference, then things will be much easier. For example, one school may have a highly ranked undergraduate program - but that does not really help you. The area you want may be weak and another school's very strong or excellent, but with a lower ug ranking.</p>
<p>It can make a world of difference.</p>
