Hi, I am a sophomore transfer and got into Emory for econ major and Boston College for finance major.

I am an international student from Korea, and If I choose Emory, my only reason would be to go to Goizueta.

I heard that the admission is extremely difficult especially for international students, and my GPA at my current school isn’t too good since i have a “C” on one of my econ classes.

My career goal is to either get into a Big 4 accounting firms or financial service companies, so I am thinking about Accounting/Finance double major.

I know people say that Emory has more prestige and all that (that US NEWS ranking stuff), but just looking at my future career, which school would support me better? Can you reapply to Goizueta if you get denied once?

I know both are great b-schools, but which school is better in terms of Accounting and Finance programs? I know businessweek ranked CSOM #6 and Goizueta #7, but that doesn’t say much to me.

Please share your views, all responses are much appreciated!
