To PTD... 千万别去emory, though georgetown is kinda lower ranked (just this year), considering location (which is very important for MBA) and the following link, you 'd better choose Georgetown. http://forums.businessweek.com/bw-bschools/messages/?start=Start+Reading+%3E%3E From: BEIJINGLAU Jan-5 12:47 am To: ALL (1 of 27)

I just heard this from a friend who is currently a student at Goizueta. I would like to know if it is true.
1. I was told that the social and academic scene at Goziueta tend to be dominated by a few white male stduents called "BMOC" and their "pre-wed" girlfriends in class. They are presidents of many clubs, involved in the student council, and receive very good grades despite not putting in much effort. When it comes to small group work, they form their own groups after the assigned group breaks up for second semester of the first year. Last year, some people did not want any minorities or international students in their groups. Despite giving weak presentations, the "all-white, fat boys" groups still receive great grades. This was particularly evident in one class. These men and women belonging to the in-groups are well liked by many of the professors and have special "in"s when it comes to job offers and part-time work at school. Some of the jobs they got were not even advertised for the rest of the school's community and over half of the class tends to stay in Atlanta after graduation.
2. Non-white internationals tend to stick together and maintain a very low profile. The African americans form their own group and there is very little interaction between them and the white guys, who drive nice sport cars and live at a place called "Post" near campus. Over the holidays, there were a few private parties and internationals and minorities are not invited to go! When asked, one supposedly popular girl in class told an international student "you guys would spoil our fun if you come".
I am an international applicant from China and I am very worrying about things like this happening. Is the South like this in general or this is just not good representation! I heard most of the Chinese students are plain unhappy and wish they have gone elsewhere.
Should I even bother to apply to anywhere else in the South?

OK - I don't know if the Emory stories are true, but as a Southern (& minority) I have to jump in here.
NO - THE ENTIRE SOUTH IS NOT LIKE THAT! Sure there is racism, but I haven't run into anything like you describe in a lo-ong time. And don't think racism doesn't exist in the northern US because it does. In my experience (I live in Philly now) - Racism in the south is more blatant - you know who to stay away from. Racism up north is much more sneaky so you don't always know who you are dealing with.
southern people are more layback, and friendlier.its hard to make friends with people in big cities up in northeastern US where everyone is very protective.
Get the letter from Georgetown today. 20,000 tuition scholar comes with the offer. I submitted my application on end of Nov. Although I won't go to Georgetown, it is really a nice school.
