Over the years, Emory has established itself as an elite private school, with achievements in the sciences and the humanities. Ranked as a tier-one doctoral university for its very high research activity, Emory is involved in a number of important initiatives.
Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering. Emory has associations with some of the most influential people in the world. Vice President Alben W. One alum is even an Olympic medalist. But are all of these accomplishments enough to make Emory University an Ivy League school?
Read on to find out! Emory University is not an Ivy League school. However, considering its impressive accomplishments, it could very well be considered on par with any Ivy. Because seven of the eight schools trace their establishment to before the founding of the United States Cornell University was formed in , the Ivies have the honor of being some of the oldest institutions of higher learning in the country. Since that time, the Ivy League schools have only enhanced their reputation, through high academic standards, their devotion to cutting-edge research, the contributions of their student bodies, and their highly selective admission standards.
But impressive American schools can easily be found outside of the Ivy League. In short, the Ivy League may have the reputation of academic excellence, they are not great schools because they are in the Ivy League. Many people think that Emory University is in the Ivy League for one simple reason: it is one of the best schools in the country. Because most Americans think of the Ivy League as a collection of academically prestigious schools and not an athletic division, many assume that any impressive college or university is an Ivy.
All of that said, Ivy League schools tend to be highly selective, with Harvard only accepting 4. But I guess it makes sense why people do that. A lot of us feel we didn't get the recognition we deserve from the local dude on the street when we told him we got into Emory. FWIW, I could have gone to "a more prestigious university". Whatever the hell that means. So we're not rejects of everywhere else. I think I've already given my views on this and why I attend Emory instead of somewhere else so I won't bother restating it.
I just want to agree on this thread that we're really good at a lot of things, and people need to stop being bitter about trivial things such as rankings and not getting into their first choice or whatever and start taking advantage of the amazing opportunities we have. I mean, think about, it's not like every "layman" knows about Chicago which has accomplishments and an intellectual atmosphere comparable to the top Ivies, Stanford, MIT, etc.
So I don't know why we care that much about it. If someone says they don't know about Emory, one should simply think "your loss" if they actually like the school then again, some people only like a school based upon how many people hear and know about it, and not based on what they get from it, if they choose to get anything at all. To these people, "never heard of it" inspires a loss of respect for the school and perhaps deflation of their ego. The word should be getting out to people who matter; Future scholars and professionals who want a solid education, and future faculty members and staff who have something wonderful to add to what is already offered, or potential benefactors interested in what this school is trying to accomplish through its mission or some internal initiative.
It's better for these people to know so that the Emory "product" the students and research is solid and not just the name. The latter will improve after the former. How about "It would be cool if this course was offered at Emory, students at X seem to enjoy it" without having done any research outside of hearsay and the rankings. They need to decide what they want. And honestly, if they want the status quo, but a higher rank, they are wasting their time complaining.
We have to move forward with something other than erection of shiny new buildings the main question is, what do these buildings do other than contribute to research or a morale boost for whatever department?
Will it facilitate innovative pedagogy or accommodate more robust events? Basically will such additions result in changes that inspire us.
More people care about getting ahead of others, climbing up the rank, having a good life, having a family, makeingmoney though they usually won't openly admit this instead of getting a good, deep, and solid education for its sake.
The medical schools are trying hard to rule out those kind of people. Most colleges are failing to kill off many of those people before they walk in the admission gates. All Rights Reserved.
