Berkeley v.s. Emory

Applying to College

<p>Okay so I am stuck deciding between these two schools and I would LOVE some help :).
(Any comments regarding USC, or UCLA would also be great though)</p>

<p>Before you poke fun at me for the immense differences in both colleges, know that I am unsure what I truly want.</p>

<p>So...to provide some context...</p>

<p>I went to a small private school for 11 years (Pre-school through 9th grade), then switched to the largest public school in my state (Colorado). It was the BEST decision I have ever made. BUT thats because I HATED the kids at the small school, not because I hated how the teaching occurred or the school itself.</p>

<p>I am looking to go onto Law School and potentially get a JDMBA. Which school would prepare me better? As for a major, I am looking towards the social sciences, maybe philosophy, econ, or poly sci, but I am completely open for change :)</p>

<p>I am a very social kid and I am excited to be involved in some sort of Greek life. While I love to learn and do maintain exceptional grades, I also love to party, and I would love a great social experience. Also, attractive girls could be something to consider ;)</p>

<p>I have no problem with large schools, I can very easily assert myself, but I do love to debate material, especially with teachers.</p>

<p>Also, my girl friend is going to Santa Clara University, about 45 min from Berkeley. We are pretty close, but we aren't unrealistic about the future.</p>

<p>All I know is that there are lots of Asians and Indians at Berkeley…So, it could be more competitive (well, at least according to my friend who’s a sophomore at Berkeley)</p>

<p>That stereotype amazes me.</p>

<p>Well, it’s true.
But if I were you, I’d choose Berkeley because it has better social science programs. Also, it’s way bigger than Emory…so if you want to go to school with lots of students, then choose Berkeley.</p>

<p>bigger school means bigger classes…</p>
