College Discussion - View Single Post - Full Ride at Emory vs. Brown -- help!

JeweledFlower · 04-04-2008, 12:15 AM

I have been offered a full ride at Emory (through the Emory Scholars Program) and have also been accepted at Brown. Brown has always been my dream school and I love so much about it, but I also really like Emory and know that I will do well there. At Brown my family would have to pay $30,000 a year whereas Emory would be free and I would get a lot of special treatment. So I guess what I'm wondering is what should I choose? Would being and Emory scholar, or a student at Brown give me more of an advantage when applying for jobs and grad school? I love Brown, but is it really worth $30,000 a year when I could go to Emory practically for free?
Thanks for all your help.
