Any thoughts on Emory....??

<p>For business ?</p>

<p>it's okay i guess. Better than most, worse than some.</p>

<p>My S has decent stats, 4.5(w), 15 of 575, 1450 / 2230.....not sure if he can get into the upper tier of business schools ( e.g. UVa, UPenn, UMich ) so I thought that G-Town and Emory might be worth looking into.</p>

<p>Why wouldn't your S be able to get into the upper tier, her SAT is higher than the average at all business schools I believe without the writing section included. Top 10% of class too. Is she lacking in other areas, EC's, easy classes?</p>

<p>you should also add stern to the list.</p>

<p>I think it's an awesome school for business. It can't NOT be awesome if it's ranked number 4 by businessweek. It has great recruitment and starting salaries are high. however, i could be a little biased because I'm going to be an Emorite next year ;)</p>

<p>BYU is also on the top 10 I believe, so I wouldn't put too much stock in that.</p>

<p>yeah i dont think those rankings are too accurate. your S seems to have pretty good stats so i'd suggest applying to umich, uva, and stern.</p>

<p>overrated</p>

<p>better off at Kelley (which is an auto-accept with those stats)</p>

<p>why dont you guys actually do research on byu and emory before commenting. Underrated seems more appropriate.</p>

<p>BYU and Emory are about 20 places behind other schools (BYU even more so) as far as recruiting goes. Underrated my ass.</p>

<p>proof is where? If you use ibanking as a measure, they are both well positioned in the industry. How many...cant remember, its finals week, so i will not be looking for it either.</p>

<p>yeah, byu and emory are definately just mediocre. prestige-wise, and well, everything-wise. sorry.</p>
