<p>@lousyanamom: I’m not sure if I would that much more money for Emory. Anyway, to answer your question: Yes, it’s pretty well known for a great career center (which would do mock interviews) and lots of prof. development opps. Take a look at some of the things Emory students participate in: <a href=“https://blogs.emory.edu/bbanews/”>https://blogs.emory.edu/bbanews/</a>
This is a general overview of some of the things that encompass “BBA life” at Emory:

<p>Your son would have more motivated peers that could be doing more interesting (as in things outside of the norm. I also highlight this aspect because the classes don’t really matter as much in these undergraduate business programs. Only some of them are worth anything, no matter the caliber of the program. It’s the experiences, competitions, and internships that you participate in that make the difference. And being on some campuses would make that much different from being on others) things that could enhance his resume/life or intellect (Emory is really kicking up a start-up/innovation culture that your son could benefit from. It doesn’t hurt that most students end up with friends from Tech that can ultimately help them in things such as the “Hackathon” that we organized and will likely grow bigger: <a href=“Decoding Emory's Hackathon | The Emory Wheel”>http://www.emorywheel.com/decoding-emorys-hackathon/</a>). Because of these things, Emory is probably better than UGA for business from an objective point of view but I just don’t know if I would pay the extra money for it (the subjective point of view). If paying the extra money is remotely burdensome, and your son doesn’t have a particularly strong affinity for Emory, I don’t think it’s worth it. Don’t just view this from a purely pragmatic point of view. No advantage that GBS provides over UGA will make it worth over 200k if your son doesn’t actually want to be at Emory. Make sure that he is genuinely interested (because if not, it will be hard for him to self-motivate his way to taking advantage of the things that do make Emory better than UGA for UG business. The people who really wanted to be here, will ultimately take advantage of these things. It’s hard to do this, it you believe that being here is a “golden ticket” where opportunities will fall from the sky because of your mere presence on campus and I think some students have these views of some top UG business programs). </p>
