Boston College Versus Emory

<p>I've been accepted to the college of arts and sciences at Emory University and to the Carroll School of Management at Boston College. I want to study finance and perhaps minor in economics.
Which school is better overall and which is better for finance?</p>

<p>Which school will likely land me a better job in a finance related sector?</p>

<p>How difficult is it to get into Emory's Goizueta from the college of A&S?</p>

<p>Some things to consider about me:
2100 SAT, strongest section WR
4.41 GPA
Live in Massachusetts
Would prefer a school with less liberal arts requirements and more flexibility</p>

<p>I think Emory is better overall and for business, but I’ve heard that admission into Goizueta is pretty competitive. Goizueta BBA students have an average college GPA of 3.6. Your SAT scores are probably high enough to get in and your high school GPA shows evidence that you can get a high college GPA; the other thing would be getting involved actively on campus. Since Goizueta only takes BBA students from Emory and Oxford Colleges, you would only be competing with others on campus - so you’d want to get involved in SGA, student orgs, maybe get an internship after your first year if you can. Since the fall application deadline is February 15, you are really going to be judged on the strength of your first 3 semesters, so you have to hit the ground running wrt grades and leadership experiences on campus.</p>

<p>Which school will land you a better job? That’s impossible to answer, and is more dependent on you and the kinds of experiences you seek while in college.</p>
