Ed Emory or Washu

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know:

• Emory:

  • Pros:
  • Smaller class sizes.
  • Strong presence in NYC (38%).
  • Great alumni network in NY.
  • Beautiful campus and smaller class size.
  • Atlanta is an amazing city.
  • Allows for a combination of majors (e.g., Econ/math along with finance).
  • More likely to get financial aid (meets 95% of needs).
  • Cons:
  • Placement is weaker compared to some other schools.
  • No business school in sophomore year.
  • No structured IB prep organizations (at least from what is known).

• Washington University in St. Louis (WashU):

  • Pros:
  • Smaller class sizes.
  • Generally considered prestigious.
  • Employment statistics and IB recruiting have been improving over the past several years.
  • Cons:
  • Not as strong in IB recruiting compared to some other schools.
  • Location is not as OCR (On-Campus Recruiting) friendly (far from the Northeast, Chicago, Texas, and Southeast schools).

Recommendation: - If your primary goal is to recruit for NYC, Emory might have a slight edge due to its stronger presence and alumni network in NY. - For regional recruitment (ATL or Chicago), both schools have their strengths, but Emory's location in Atlanta could be beneficial for local opportunities.

Given your goals, Emory seems to offer a better balance for NYC recruitment and regional opportunities in Atlanta.
