<p>Title says it all!
I am undecided between which two. Emory, more than likely, will give me great FA since parents make <50,000/yr, but I don't have guaranteed admission to Goizueta. I'm already admitted into UIUC's CoB, and if I go there, I plan to double major - finance and accounting. I'd pay OOS tuition, but could try to gain residency (parents own house in Urbana-Champaign, but didn't graduate from IL high school, and would try to work-study to gain residency as well).
So, as far as job opportunities, placements, salaries, and most importantly, grad placement in schools such as UPenn (I wish to go there for an MBA) or other elite grad schools, which is the better option?
I kind of know the campus of UIUC since my brother studied eng there, and will be attending the Emory Essence program (Latino).
Thanks!</p>
<p>BTW, I’d pursue a BBA w/ concentration in Finance for Goizueta. Sorry for double post, no edit option allowed.</p>
<p>I’d go to Emory, especially given the financial aid and your goals.</p>
<p>Would you go to MIT and study English? That’s similar to UIUC and doing Business.</p>
<p>UIUC generally gives very poor financial aid and unless you’re sure you can gain residency by your second year, the OOS cost of Urbana-Champaign is much higher than your family can afford. Goizuetta admits around 3/4 applicants and is very well regarded outside of the Southeast. </p>
<p>Keep in mind that of the Wharton full time MBA students, only 28% studied business as an undergrad. Though many likely did their coursework in economics, the overwhelming majority did not study things like accounting or finance. </p>
