Straightforward…
Transfer Student (going into sophomore)
All else equal


Study finance at Emory
Pros: top 10, great job prospectives, 4 years to complete, great chance at MBA
Cons: not guaranteed admission into business school (especially as a transfer student: I only have 1 year to prove myself)


or


Study Econ/Math at Emory and Industrial Engineering (Financial and Economic Systems) at Georgia Tech (through dual degree program)
Pros: 3 degrees, GT is #1 in Industrial Engineering, looks interesting to masters programs, finance based, definitely more advanced and more versatile than finance major alone, guaranteed admission
Cons: 5 years, not specifically “finance” degree


FINAL GOAL: high finance job (corporate finance possibly), living (not necessarily working) in Pennsylvania, great MBA program
