Amherst or Emory

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hello! I was recently accepted to both Emory University and Amherst College, and I want to major in neuroscience. Ultimately, I know this may change, but my intended career is research neuroscientist (behavioral), which I know entails post-grad work (such grad/med school, phd, etc.)</p>

<p>They're both really good schools, but which one is best in terms of what I need to accomplish (i.e. neuroscience basis and research)?</p>

<p>Please and thank you.</p>

<p>Definitely Amherst! Excellent for research and very prestigious (more prestige than Emory for sure)!</p>

<p>I will challenge the above post and argue that both these schools are roughly the same prestige-wise. If somebody would like to offer a counter argument, please provide some basis for it.</p>

<p>I would choose Amherst if costs are similar.</p>

<p>Agree with UCB.</p>
