<p>I don’t think we are talking to an empty chair. At least I hope not. I don’t blame her for weighing all her options. I mean, it took years for people to convince me of this same thing. And, let’s face it, the business world is pretty attractive, and this is a big decision.</p>
<p>I agree that BSchools vary in fluff (MIT everything is technical - It’s needless to say that it is an exception. There’s a reason so many quants come out of there-. And Wharton is another obvious exception)but I’m thinking that she’s set on Emory’s Bschool. Which is fine, but I still recommend at the least a minor in something else. </p>
<p>Note that even you added the caveat about the strong economics/engineering background in that last sentence. It all goes back to the “what can you do for me three years down the road that a fresh college graduate cannot?” statement I made earlier.</p>
<p>Another thought to think about - Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia etc. don’t even bother with undergrad BBA programs (and we can agree that if they wanted to create one, they could easily do so).</p>
