Emory vs. Carleton

<p>Well, I’ve been accepted into both schools. I’m from the Midwest, pretty laid back, somewhat quirky, and not altogether preppy. I am considering History, Political Science, Business, and Biology for my possible major(s) in college. I would like to move on to graduate school for either medicine or business. Weather isn’t really too important for me; I 'm used to having both blazing heat and freezing cold. I play golf, and would probably have a chance at making the team at either school. I’m also interested in writing (newspaper, literary journal, humor paper, whatever).</p>

<p>Any thoughts?</p>

<p>I am also accepted to both, and honestly, I think the level of education between Emory and Carleton is just about the same. (Although I must admit Carleton has a better reputation)</p>

<p>When deciding either Emory or Carleton, it all comes down to sizes and locations. Choose a better place, and go :)</p>

<p>Much as I like Carleton, where my son will be going next September, I feel compelled to point out that Carleton does not have a particularly strong student newspaper. Take a look at the respective websites and decide for yourself:</p>

<p>[The</a> Carletonian](<a href=“http://apps.carleton.edu/carletonian/]The”>The Carletonian – Carleton College's student newspaper since 1877)</p>

<p>[The</a> Emory Wheel | Emory University’s Student Newspaper](<a href=“http://www.emorywheel.com/]The”>http://www.emorywheel.com/)</p>

<p>However, the Carleton Lens magazine has received several awards.</p>

<p>Here is some more information on the Lens including a video:</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I have a new question: which school will help me more with getting into a really good graduate school?</p>

<p>Any takers?</p>
