UCdavis vs emory

in respect of job opportunity, what do you think?

The obvious answer is that it depends on where you want to work.

emory provides the better job opportunity.
40% of emory grads land +80k/year jobs compared to 30% for davis grads. plus a 5% federal clerkship placement compared to davis' 1%.
a greater percentage of emory grads have jobs by graduation.
and last, atlanta cost of living is 18% cheaper than sacramento (even cheaper when compared to san fran or L.A.) so whatever you make in atlanta would go farther than if you lived in california cities.

+1 There ya go.

Not to mention, I really think Emory is underrated. If not for its location in Atlanta (which for some is a good thing, others not so much), I think Emory would be ranked higher.

I am not from the USA and I have no other people to ask

I only gained my information from here and the description about Emory was little bit poor,

saying that it won't give you job opp. in outside Atlanta.

(I was confused since I thought its rank is pretty good)

So, I figured that I provably don't want to live in Atlanta (or perhaps I would like it, who knows, I don't even know exactly where it is)

and UC davis seemed good school in LA so I asked.

Now, I don't know

in addition to all that has been said: davis is a small town outside sacramento and the whole area is pretty miserable. go to emory.

Davis really doesn't travel very well. it is a great school for Sac town, but if I were in your shoes I would take Emory in a heartbeat.

The cheaper one.

i don't think either travel well.
i'd take emory b/c you're more likely to get a good job in atlanta coming out emory than a good job in sactown, la, or sf, coming out of davis.

I've worked in Sac, there are far more Davis/Mcgeorge grads running around than anything else (from what I saw), but I imagine najumobi is correct. I would like to think Emory has some pull in the south though...

Whichever one has the non-graded LRW...

i'm an asshole, but i'm deadly serious.

Emory, Davis is a shithole for UCLA and USC rejects. Emory on the other hand is a top-20 school. This is a no brainer. Why are you asking us.

And Davis is not in LA.

davis is also in the most boring place in the entire world--davis.
