<p>Hi guys, I'm currently contemplating between these two schools. Wondering if you guys had any input? I'm from Georgia so I'd like to stay in GA but i can definitely go to NYU if it gives me better options. Anyone else in the same boat?</p>
<p>If you can afford to go to NYU without putting yourself in substantial debt, I would definitely go to NYU. </p>
<p>I had a choice between Emory and NYU (as well as a few other schools) and chose NYU. Why?</p>
<p>(1) In most instances, the NYU faculty is stronger than Emory’s faculty, meaning that our departments are, in most cases, better than Emory’s. We produce more world-leading research than Emory and so on and so forth. Especially in the case of Stern.</p>
<p>(2) Personally, I find the location of NYU to be better than Emory’s. Being in the village is a great place to be, as it’s one of the nicest areas in Manhattan. And, of course, being in NYC gives you access to anything you could possibly want. </p>
<p>(3) Emory’s campus is amazing. The buildings are stunning. Overall, it’s just gorgeous. So, I have to admit that Emory wins in that department. </p>
<p>(4) Being in NYC will give you access to A LOT of well-known employers for internships. Especially being in Stern since it’s one of the top undergraduate business schools.</p>
<p>^^According to Bloomberg, Emory is number 3 in undergraduate business programs which is darn good!!! GO EMORY!!!</p>
<p>Here is the link: <a href=“Bloomberg Businessweek's Top 13 Undergrad Business Schools | HuffPost College”>Bloomberg Businessweek's Top 13 Undergrad Business Schools | HuffPost College;
<p>That rankings is nowhere near accurate.</p>
<p>It ranks Notre Dame as #1. </p>
<p>Ummm… No. </p>
<p>Sorry, UPenn Wharton is way above Notre Dame, UVa, Emory, etc.</p>
<p>Even though – given his username, at least – NYU2013 is probably biased, I must agree with him on his assessment of that article from Businessweek. No one in their right mind puts Notre Dame ahead of Wharton, Sloan, etc. Go scout out US News and World Report’s list for what I think is a more accurate rating of the States’ undergraduate business colleges. About.com also has an article which, I think, features a fair ranking of the US’s undergraduate business schools.</p>
<p>I don’t like the businessweek rankings all that well either. BUT I also don’t agree with the first point, about NYU faculty being stronger. This is clearly not the case. Idk why Wharton is being discussed but since it is…
Wharton>Emory>NYU</p>
<p>Choose Emory if the decision is between these two. The only real reason I could understand choosing NYU is for NYC, but that isn’t a substantial sway factor. Especially when Emory has an amazing city as well (Atlanta).</p>
<p>US News ranks NYU as the sixth best undergraduate business program while Emory is not in the top ten.</p>

<p>NYU Stern is far more well-known and reputable in the Wall St. job market than Emory. Stern is up there with Ross, Sloan and Haas.</p>
<p>And all the internships NYU Stern as well as NYC can provide is unrivaled.</p>
<p>If you want to work in finance, especially in Wall St. type roles, then NYU is leaps and bounds ahead of Emory. I can’t speak too much to the other types of business-related majors, but trust me, if you want to do finance (which 70% of Stern students do), then it would be a big mistake to choose Emory over Stern. However, I would also consider financial aid as a factor. If you have to take an extra $100k in loans to attend Stern, it makes the decision much more difficult.</p>
<p>I made the same decision a few years ago.</p>
<p>The problem is that I’m set on doing business so Stern would be the better option but Emory has a more liberal arts curriculum and I want to major in philosophy as well. </p>
<p>Location in NYU is also superior but then again Atlanta isn’t so bad…</p>
<p>NYU doesn’t have a campus compared to Emory and Emory is closer to home.</p>
<p>I also want to transfer into Wharton so does it really matter? HELP</p>
<p>What’s the price for each school after non loan financial aid?</p>
<p>NYU would be $5,000 more / year than Emory</p>
<p>Can you afford either comfortably? Are you going to take on debt?</p>
<p>This is a no-brainer.</p>
<p>If you want to do Philosophy, NYU is the winner hands down. In fact, if you want to do philosophy, NYU is winner against any other school except maybe Oxford or Princeton. </p>
<p>NYU is the #1 school in the world for philosophy – Above Oxford, Princeton and Rutgers (which make up the ‘big boy’ schools of philosophy). Our philosophy faculty is superb and we are host to a LARGE majority of the world’s most famous philosophers. Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc. aren’t in the same league as NYU for philosophy – they’re in the league right below us. An easier way of putting this would be like saying NYU is the Harvard for philosophy. </p>
<p>Emory, on the other hand, does not teach analytic philosophy it teaches continental philosophy – even for continental philosophy Emory only ranks in the low 30s and high 40s, if I remember correctly.</p>
<p>best of luck transfering to wharton lol
you have to do superb your first year because xfering is supa hard (obviously)
go to whichever you feel you’ll do better in (prob emory cause its closer)
but nyu does have the better location and faculty</p>
<p>@NYU2013 thanks for your insight, I was also wondering… how does double majoring work at NYU? Since I was accepted to Stern would I be able to double major in something from CAS like philosophy?</p>
<p>Stern students are allowed to take any major or minor they wish within CAS.</p>
<p>If you do double major in CAS, you might not be able to study abroad. Each one of Stern’s concentrations has a req of 12 credits… while CAS majors are around 40-48 each. So you really have to plan your schedule ahead.</p>
<p>The philosophy major is 40 credits - 10 classes at 4 credits each.</p>
