Emory vs. BC, Tulane, Brandeis, UF, U of Miami，老美选business也纠结，看怎么评论，再次证明tulane&a

csj7654321

Looking to study business, probably Finance or Accounting, want to settle in the southeast. Emory $21k grant BC still waiting on FA Tulane $20k scholarship plus $5k grant Brandeis $19k grant U of Miami $26k scholarships The grants are needs based, and will likely diminisdh a lot after freshman year. Parents will pay balance at any of the above, if it is worth it. Which would be the best? Thanks

FinAid | Calculators | Advanced Award Letter Comparison Tool I like the way it makes the math very clear, and I'm sure your parents will appreciate that too! Not all of the non-financial factors that matter to you will be included, but it gives you a place to start. You have lots of good options to choose from! Congratulations!

As a Southerner, I can honestly say that Emory really isn't that well known throughout the South, which isn't surprising since none of its students are southern in the first place. Emory has only become an "elite" school in the past 7, 8, 9 or so years.... It's definitely a great school, but to imply it's recruiting strength in the south is best among the others he listed is untrue.

Also the new Dean of the B school is a super accounting star from Illinois, from what I read. So that may sway you some as well. But Emory is an excellent school of course, and there are more big companies in Atlanta for sure, by a wide margin. But Tulane places well in Atlanta also, and Houston, Dallas, and throughout the South. So I still think a tie between those two, and you have to decide which place you liked better (assuming you visited both) as well as which city. Personal preference rules at this point it seems to me. That or flip a coin, lol. I would point out that the Tulane merit scholarship stays all four years unless your grades really slip (or you get arrested and convicted of something) so it will likely be much less expensive for you and your parents than Emory.

Once a person looks into what goes into these rankings, you would see they are ridiculous. Plus you are attending an entire school, not a department. 75% or so of your courses will be outside of your major. Go where you can best afford it and you feel it is the best school for you.

I know. But it is also a business school choice
