<p>My son is trying to decide between applying to Emory or Wash U, we would appreciate any feed back with pros and cons. My son is thinking he will double major in business and chemistry.</p>
<p>Why not apply to both?</p>
<p>My D attends WashU and absolutely loves it. I hear the same great things about Emory. It is probably a matter of what your son believes his major will be, as well as the “feel” for the campus when they visit. If finances are not a significant issue, I agree that it would be good to apply to both and visit both.</p>
<p>The problem with your (OP’s) question is students here attend WashU; students there attend Emory. It’s mutually exclusive. They can’t compare for you. There is a sticky thread listed first on this forum entitled “101 reasons to attend WashU”; that would give you plenty of opinion.</p>
<p>WashU is “infamous” on cc for its unpredictable admission process. I’d say apply to both to see if your son can get in at least one place first.</p>
<p>Definitely visit both if feasible. No matter how many facts or opinions or suggestions or recommendations you receive, I think that only by visiting can you get a true feel for the college. I’d give some pros, but I’m a bit biased and know nothing about Emory (besides the fact that they think they are in a huge sports rivalry with us, but we don’t really care about them at all).</p>
