<p>Which school do you feel has a better business program? Location and weather are not real factors, neither is money (same aid was given at both schools).</p>
<p>Too close to make a recommendation. Depends upon concentration within the business major. For a better undergraduate social experience, Emory University is the choice.</p>
<p>emory's undergrad business is very good and reputable. go there</p>
<p>I would take Carnegie Mellon in a heartbeat just knowing how easily some of my friends got jobs in top firms. I can't say for Emory because I don't know anyone there (I heard the weather/atmosphere is amazing though), but I'll be working at Goldman Sachs this summer with some of my Carnegie friends who've received offers from other firms and had the ability to pick and choose from a number of offers. They have a really strong focus on quantitative and science academics. I'm applying for transfer to CMU's philosophy dept. CMU's Tepper doesn't even accept transfers because their yield is so high and very few transfer out.</p>
<p>Just because you're admitted to Emory doesn't mean you'll get accepted to the business program -- you have to apply there after your sophomore year. I would base your decision on that fact and the best fit for you. Emory and CMU are VERY different.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses. We're visiting both schools this month, and DS is doing an overnight stay at both. Hopefully, that will give him a better feel for which school is best.<br>
Regarding Carnegie Mellon, DS is not a math lover. He puts up with it, and has gotten A's in Calculus, but it's probably his least favorite subject. Is that a red flag? Should he not choose CM?</p>
<p>bump
Any more advice? Thanks.</p>
<p>Business kids don't have to do that much math at Tepper. I remember a few of them complaining about taking a calculus class or two, but I'm pretty sure it stayed fairly light on the math compared to fields like engineering/sciences/CS. The only spot I imagine that would be different is if he started taking some higher level econ classes.</p>
