<p>on USNWR, emory overall is ranked #17 while nyu is like #35 and gtown is like #23. emory’s undergrad b-program is 4th in the nation (accordin to businessweek i think) and its rly rly good
to get in, u have to get into emory first, and then u apply to the business school during ur 2nd year at emory</p>

<p>Emory is a great school and a great slight-reach for you. Stern has better placement but its social life is lacking. Gtown is also a great fit and has great placement. Rutgers isnt close to any of these.</p>

<p>Emory is a top level business school and higher than all but Penn (Wharton), UC Berkeley (Haas), Michigan (Ross), and MIT (Sloan); (equal with NYU). NYU is considered better for finance, while Emory is better for marketing. </p>

<p>Emory’s biggest downfall is it’s Atlanta location (nothing wrong with Atlanta except that it’s a ways from there to the top recruiters in New York, Chicago, Boston, Washington, DC and Los Angeles/San Francisco). If you want to work in Atlanta, Charlotte, Jacksonville, New Orleans, or Miami, it’s probably the best school to go to.</p>

<p>Emory’s recruiting is focused on leadership, leadership, leadership–your showing potential in this is key–and it’s about the only undergraduate business school I know of besides Wharton where an interview is mandatory for admittance.</p>

<p>P.S. I should also mention that it is affiliated with the Baptist church–so I believe one class in religion or ethics is a requirement for graduation.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>
