Um, prepdude2, that is so not true. If I have some relevant knowledge to share, why should I not inform others about it?

There's an Emory vs. UGA and Emory vs. UVA, William & Mary, etc threads also, but have I posted there? Nope. Why not, you ask? According to your perverse logic, I'd be saying bad things about Emory, right? Absolutely wrong. I don't even look at those threads because I DON'T KNOW MUCH about those schools! But I do know some about Northwestern.

I'm not "advertising" Rice on the Emory board. YOU need to get a life and stop stalking my posts! Did I ever say Emory is a bad school? No. It is a fantastic school.

I just don't know that much about it, but I DO know about Northwestern. Hell, I visited the school and heard about the business certificate program straight from NU itself.

IF I visited Emory and sat in on their Goizueta presentations, I would of course share that in this thread to offer a good contrast to NU. But I haven't visited, and I certainly do not claim to be an expert on Emory and its offerings.

I only gave an example of Rice because I knew about it, I am absolutely positive there are similar stories about Williams and Amherst grads and other schools' grads going to top business schools without having to go to an undergrad business school. So now are you going to say I'm "advertisting" Williams and Amherst over Emory? You really need to get a life.

I myself held a misconception that, hypothetically, if I wanted to go to a good business school, I *had* to go to a good undergrad b-school, like UT-Austin McCombs or Georgetown McDonough. That is not the case, and I don't know if the OP knew you aren't absolutely mandated to go to an undergrad b-school if you are looking to top graduate schools.

Why don't you post something constructive and say good things about Emory's Goizueta School and stop nitpicking my post?

When I said Emory's school is a bit overrated, I was referring to BusinessWeek's ratings that it was #4, which BW placed Emory above NYU Stern and Michigan Ross, which don't make very much sense to me. No doubt Emory's business school is up there, but when I said "overrated" I was specifically referring to BusinessWeek's rankings, which Emory often touts.

The OP wants to work in NYC, and of course an Emory degree won't hurt him, but I believe Northwestern has better connections/networking in the Northeast than Emory does. These are just my two cents.
