<p>So i got into both Emory and Macaulay Honors @ Brooklyn college.</p>
<p>I cannot seem to decide on a final decision and both schools have its pros.</p>
<p>I plan on majoring in chem and I am thinking about taking the premed track.</p>
<p>Emory is a top notch university with one of the best premed stats out there. I remember reading in Newsweek that it has the highest percentage of acceptances into med school. Overall it is a great university. Emory gave me a scholarship but the price is still pretty high.</p>
<p>Macaulay Honors on the other hand gives me a tuition free education, free mac book, $7500 stipend and personal advising. </p>
<p>I at a fork in the road and i have no idea which direction to pick. Thanks in advance for the help.</p>
<p>Can you (and your parents) afford Emory?</p>
<p>My younger D took Macaulay @ Brooklyn College for her Freshman year. She didn’t enjoy living in an apartment and so transferred. But overall it is a great program. Will you be living at home?</p>
<p>definitely Emory because it will pay off in the long run. it’ll be easier to get into a better med school too, and you will have more opportunities with research / volunteer in the med/health field while you are undergrad</p>
<p>@susgeek yes for macaulay i will be living at home. My parents can probably afford it but it will cost a lot of savings.</p>
<p>@ilikepizza when i went to the macaulay open house, an alumni who is currently in med school said she had research opportunities since the start of her freshman year.</p>
<p>Emory owns their own hospital/research institute and they tend to give the volunteering/research to people who go to Emory. also the CDC is next to Emory so that’s a plus. I don’t know enough about the other college but if $ is the #1 issue and the $ Emory gave you is just not enough to go, then I would choose the other college. but if the $ Emory gave you is kinda ok, I would go with it.</p>
