UVA vs Emory vs USC

Hello everyone. Would appreciate your advice - I have been accepted to all 3 schools and want to do IB BB or EB/PE/VC/MBB. Wanted to get your opinion on which you think is best. International student so cost is not a factor and don't have a preference for West Coast/East Coast. Direct Marshall admit, but will have to apply for Goizueta and McIntire. Heard that Goizueta is easy to get into but McIntire not so much - even people with 4.0 get rejected. Help is appreciated.

Thanks for the input. Academics are not a problem for me, I am aiming for a 3.8/3.9 everywhere. I have also heard Goizueta basically places the same as McIntire, and that USC is a target for West Coast. Considering the fact you say admissions is not guaranteed, which school would you recommend? Thanks.

 

How are the first year classes like "Humanizing Maths?" Are they easy GPA boosters? I'm assuming you're in or were in McIntire and UVA so would like to hear about your experience. Also, how are the dorms first year?
