<p>qwer, I have a long line of legacy at Emory and all I can really say about it is- If you are into Pre-med its a top notch school... If you were into more of a theoretical science or math then you are better off at cornell .. If you hate cold weather then goto emory ... Also I am pretty sure a degree from cornell carries more weight than a degree from emory</p>

<p>In response to that, I am pretty sure Emory is a top-notch school, and is even called, "the Ivy of the South." As an East Coast person, I would initally think that a degree at Cornell would carry more weight, but after doing more research into schools like Emory, WashU, and other southern and mid-west schools, there are tons of school there (including Emory) that I would say carry just as much weight as Cornell.</p>
