<p>Looking from a financial angle: the price difference between the two schools, is about $4,000 per year.( grant money which may fluctuate verses "guaranteed" scholarship money )-In the real world job market, does a degree from Emory really trump one from Tulane? Is a top 10 business school it worth the approximate extra 16K hard earned cash? need some advice....</p>
<p>Are you talking about for an MBA or for undergrad business school? Also, what are you looking to specialize/major in?</p>
<p>Whatever this is worth (maybe more than $4,000/per year), Tulane grads can join the Cornell Club of NY, one of four “physical” Ivy League Clubs in the city. My dad is a member of the Harvard Club and it is quite nice. Here are the affiliates of the clubs (Emory isn’t mentioned):</p>
<p>Princeton: Columbia and NYU</p>
<p>Cornell Club of NY: Brown, Colgate, Duke, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Stanford, Tulane and Wake Forest </p>
<p>Yale Club of NY: Dartmouth and University of Virginia.</p>
<p>Harvard: Harvard grads only</p>
<p>undergrad for business. probably marketing.</p>
<p>Emory is great but I personally think Tulane has it beat for Finance hands down. </p>

<p>If you are looking into marketing I might go with Emory. Tulane was pretty weak in that disciple in my opinion. I don’t think Tulane has any less pull overall than Emory. Emory is slightly better regarded but I doubt it would ever be enough to give you an edge over a Tulane person. Also, if you are looking into Finance, Tulane has more unique opportunities. Emory is in a larger job market too. Tulane gets tons of pull from Texas though that Emory won’t have. Both do about the same in NY and NE with the edge going slightly in Emory’s favor.</p>
<p>Sorry, i was writing my response when you posted that you were looking at marketing. I know some marketing folks that came out of Tulane and are with great firms now doing very well in LA, NY, Dallas, and Chicago. I think Emory would be better for marketing though. I would suggest looking at the schools overall. I originally thought that marketing would be what I wanted to do, then I switched to Finance after I took both intro level classes and developed opinions about both fields. I’ll also add that as little as employers care about US News MBA rankings, they REALLY don’t care about undergrad business school rankings. Outside of a few schools, Emory and Tulane not being included, it doesn’t matter. Good luck!</p>
<p>I agree that the strength is in the overall school, not in the ranking of the business program. Most elite jobs in business go to those from schools that have no undergrad business program.</p>
