<p>Hi guys,</p>

<p>Im debating whether or not I should apply to Emory. I'm almost positive that I want to major in business/econ and maybe have a concentration in marketing and think I have a good chance of getting into Emory. However, the business program worries me despite its high ranking. I don't like how it doesn't start till your junior year. Many other undergrad business programs start freshmen or sophomore year. Or is this not a big deal? If I'm not in a business school freshmen and sophomore years does that mean I will be taking fewer business classes then if I was at another college? Also what about internships for either freshmen or sophomore summer? I like the school, but am unsure since the business school starts so late. I am also applying to UPenn(ED), NYU, USC (Southern Cal), UMich Ann Arbor, and Ohio State. Ohio State is tied with Emory for its undergrad business ranking and is a four year program, but overall Ohio State is not as prestigious as Emory. Ohio State is also less then half the price. So I have two questions:
1) Is the business program starting junior year a big deal
AND
2) Between Ohio State and Emory, which one do you think would be better for me (reasons listed above)</p>

<p>Thank you so much.</p>

<p>UC-Berkeley, UTexas, Indiana, Wisconsin and Washington all have business schools starting on the junior year. Michigan used to be like that until last year. Now it starts on the sophomore year.</p>

<p>You also have to reapply to the business school too.</p>

<p>If you have the credentials you can get admitted to Kelley freshman year. Many schools do this apply thing at the end of soph year and I think they are losing many good biz students bcs of it. There are schools that will let you begin as a freshman, but many do have you applying at the end of soph year.</p>

<p>Thanks for you guys input. I'm unsure which school has the Kelley business school however. The only question that remains is if Emory is worth twice the tutition of Ohio State? Thanks.</p>

<p>I cannot answer the financial question. That is something you should decide with your family. Kelley is the biz school at U of Indiana (w the right credentials you can get in as a freshman).</p>
