<p>Which school should I choose, considering that I am interested in business/finance?</p>
<p>I was going to decide based on money, but then I received lots of great merit scholarships, so now I'm not sure.</p>
<p>Emory (full tuition, room/board)
UNC Chapel Hill (tuition, room/board)
Tulane (full tuition)
USC (full tuition)
Vanderbilt (full tuition)
WashU (half tuition)</p>
<p>How would you rate the schools' prestige/national reputation?</p>
<p>I would go to Emory. They have a good undergraduate business program with two years regular liberal arts undergraduate and two years business-intensive. Wash U is on the same level, but it's not worth paying for when you can get Emory for nothing.</p>
<p>Wow. Outrageous. Two ways to look at this , where would you go with money being equal? If that's Emory or UNC you're done. If not, then is the school you picked worth paying Room and Board for 4 years? If , yes-do it. If not, pick Emory or UNC. WashU would be out. Certainly not worth $$25k more a year than Emory or UNC. Great choices.</p>
<p>If I was interested in national rep as far as businesses go, I'd pick USC or Vandy, just for name recognition. But if I was picking for grad school rep? Go wherever you want- they are all well known to the pros.</p>
<p>I'd go to UNC, best combo of b-school + overall rep + quality of life. Then Emory or Vandy.</p>
<p>As far as B-School acceptance (grad school) down the road, which would be better--Emory, USC, or UNC's undergrad school?</p>
<p>UNC, definately.</p>
<p>I think you are splitting hairs...it will matter much more who you are and what you did than the school in this case. Literally they are the exact same, choose based on which campus you like the most.</p>
<p>I agree with Slipper: UNC is the best choice, all things being equal.</p>
<p>However, depending upon what region you intend to pursue business, USC might not be a bad choice - in other words, if you plan on working, living and staying in SoCal, USC has a strong and active network (similarly, if you will be located in the South East, same can be said for Vandy and Emory).</p>
<p>I agree with Ivy Grad - location is the big difference between these.</p>
<p>i woudl take...Wash U...</p>
<p>It's not only the $$ I'll assume scholarships are renewable. What GPA is needed to keep the merit scholarships at each school?
If some are 3.0 and some are 3.5, that difference is worth considering as well.</p>
