Emory Oxford VS. Georgia Tech

[xxzhhy86]

<p>I'm choosing between Emory Oxford College and Georgia Tech. Obviously, they're totally different schools-one is liberal art and another is engineering. I plan to go to a business school after undergraduate, so maybe Emory would set me up since it has a good business program. But what I'm thinking is that, at Geogia Tech, Indutrial Engineering-the major that I choose-would give me a strong base of business. I know tons of engineer go to business school and become success. Besides, Industrial Engineering at Georgia Tech ranked #1 in the nation...
I'm a girl, and I'm a math genius:] ( that's what people always say). I love math and did pretty good on science. I've got tons of awards on these fields. My weakness is writing, because I hate writing. But if I go to Emory, I have to get over it. As long as I get over it, I believe I would do well in business school, or even at work. I know I can't always avoid my weakness; I have to face it. But I kind of doubt if I would do well at Emory...</p>

<p>Which school should I choose?</p>

<p>You have already stated you want to major in industrial engineering, in a way that would “set you up” for a business career. This is PRECISELY what Georgia Tech is designed to do! (And it’s why my son decided NOT to go to Ga Tech, although he was excepted. He has not interest in engineering, only business, and all the programs at Tech have an engineering or hi-tech emphasis.)</p>

<p>You will be likely not be happy at Emory, and because it emphasizes liberal arts and humanities more, at the undergrad level, you will have a lot of that writing you don’t like, and you won’t be getting the engineering emphasis you seek. Furthermore, since you state you plan to go to graduate school for business – you have the freedom to choose Emory’s Goizueta School of Business or the Ga Tech grad school or even UGA or many graduate business schools. You can wait to get all that high-level business training at the grad level. Good luck!!!</p>
