USC vs Emory vs UT non-bhp vs BC Carroll
All of them seem pretty cool. Not necessarily super 100% gung-ho on Investment Banking; consulting seems pretty damn interesting too. I'm not even 100% positive I want a career in business tbh I'm mostly just majoring in it because I don't know wtf I want to do with my entire life. This is why I didn't apply to Stern. My idea is to just pretty much figure things out as I go and to use college to explore different interests.
Emory, and USC are all pretty damn expensive (30k/yr with finaid) but UT really isn't super cheap either (22k/yr).
Boston and LA seems better than Austin and Atlanta but choosing a school just for location seems kinda dumb. I really don't care too much where I work as long as the work is good and can get me into a good MBA program. Everyone seems to like NYC so I guess it'd be cool to work there.
I'm kind of the skinny nerdy asian type so frat life might not be best for me. I might at least try it though. I was kind of a quiet bookworm in HS.
The most prestigious school is Emory..
Is there a chance you might want to pursue sciences/CS/engineering? If so, go with USC/Emory...
All are great schools. If you aren't sure about business then probably go UT as it's a tremendous school and has great programs in pretty much everything. 22k is also cheaper than 30k, obviously.
Austin is a tremendous city as well.
I'm pretty biased as I'm a UT grad but I'd absolutely do it again. USC is right there too though.
If you're interested in engineering then Cockrell over Viterbi and Emory. All three are great but Cockrell is #1 for petroleum and like #10 for mech, #6 Chem, #6 civil, etc.

I'm not too interested in Engineering as I'm honestly terrible at Physics. I'm really (really) strong in the humanities/English. I'm decently strong in Math ( 35 on the ACT/Meh Grades A-/B+ ). I was never very good at science for some reason.
I MIGHT try a Computer Science Major/ PreMed but since I don't have any experience with CS and I'm pretty crap at science maybe not.. I don't know even though I'm shit at science the idea of being a doctor or a CS start-up God always pulls at my heartstrings...
The reason I'm interested in Business/Econ is mostly because it seems like a good blend of math and humanities and I have decent writing/communication skills (hurr durr Debate Captain). Really the only thing that concerns me about business is that I'm not exactly a super-social frat star and I'll probably have some trouble learning how to network at first and be sociable. Maybe joining a frat will help that lol.
Honestly, my favorite school rn is Emory... It has a really inclusive frat life where even a weirdo like me can try it out with no qualms. The problem is that McCombs/USC honestly rules all of the BB banks/MBB's in Houston and I feel like I might lose that with Emory as Atlanta really isn't as strong of a city.
The problem I have with schools like UT and USC is that I imagine stereotypical douchebag frat bros dominate the business school. I know this is probably misguided but I can't shake that image out of my head. Also greek life there seems pretty damn difficult for asians like me..
Fair enough, there are a lot of bros in McCombs but there's also of ton of kids that get involved in other student organizations and excel.
There's an Asian fraternity as well if that's any consolation...
These are all awesome schools so you really can't make a wrong choice. My advice would be to go tour any school you're interested and talk to the staff there, that'll help a lot if you get to see what it's like to be a student and see all of the cities that you may spend your next 4 years, or more, in.
