<p>I also got into Tulane and Wheaton College. I am completely undecided as far as majoring. However, I know that I'd like to avoid mathematics and engineering. I like pretty much everything else (I know.. it's the bane of my existence). Currently, the idea of majoring in business is mildly attractive.</p>
<p>I'd like some opinions on Emory versus a big state school (a good one). Specifically, how much more is a degree from Emory "worth"? And, can Emory better accommodate someone who is undecided like me?</p>
<p>Can Emory accommodate someone who is undecided? - absolutely. Since it is a liberal arts school, Emory is designed for a broad education. The general education requirements are in place to give people exposure to many different areas so they can decide what they want to study (you don’t declare a major until sophomore year). While UW-Madison is a good state school, it is very difficult to compare it to a smaller environment that allows for smaller classes, greater interaction with professors, and increased opportunities for internships/research. You have to decide if it is “worth” enough. Emory’s b-school is one of the best in the country so it is likely that it is worth a great deal to someone like you.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply. I took 4 AP classes (max offered my tiny hick school). Will this hurt me? I’ve heard many people saying that AP credit is the only way to survive General Requirement classes. </p>
<p>Though maybe in my case, excessive generals is not a bad thing.</p>
<p>4 APs will not hurt you in any way. I had three coming in to Emory and was able to finish the GERs fairly easily (under the old system). The new system allows for more options in different areas so I would not worry about finding interesting and small (less than 20 people) classes to satisfy the requirements.</p>
<p>i think it depends what type of school you are looking for, they’re quite different. Emory is wayy smaller so classes are bound to be smaller, but although UW-madison is huge, my brother is going there next year and he says there is an incredible sense of community there even for a prospective student.</p>
