<p>I think you’re still missing the point. Econ at a different school >> BBA at Emory. But BBA at Emory > Econ at Emory.</p>
<p>Ideally, you get the BBA and then also a degree that’s not Econ.
If you were attending a school that’s not Emory, then Econ would be plenty by itself. But Econ here is terrible.</p>
<p>BBA programs nationwide aren’t highly popular imo. Just a few of them. Their advantage is that you have recruiters at your doorstep. Which makes it relatively easy to get a job. </p>
<p>Wharton is sought after. No arguments there.
MIT, Berkeley, Michigan… Engineering/Math people from those schools are more sought after than the BBA students. But BBA students are wanted simply because they’re MIT, UCB, UMich students.
NYU is in NYC. So it gets lots of recruiting simply because it’s in their backyard. And I bet it’s a decent program (but their math program is elite).
UVA, I don’t know much about. But I hear it’s great. They have a very strong MBA program.</p>
<p>After that, it drops off hard.
Goizueta continues to do extremely well in ATL.</p>
