Simply speechless at the number of thoughtful replies from those at Emory. I did not expect any replies after my similar post on Carnegie Mellon’s forum received only 1 well thought reply
- I have always had this conception that a major in finance was the only way to become eligible for an MBA and work in financial positions. However, after reading each of your responses, I am much more relieved now knowing that I do not need to follow such a strict path.
- From what I understand, academically, CMU and Emory will both provide opportunities for me to gear towards a financial job (Dear bernie12, I may have exaggerated my interest in Goldman Sachs with my previous comment. I would like to work there, however, it's more of a luxury than a must-have). Thus, since my fortunate acceptance to both universities, I have been trying to select one based on the most trivial factors such as food/quality of life and such.
- The educational value and networking opportunities a college can provide is the most important factor to me. If either school has an advantage over the other in either of those categories, please let me know.
P.S. As you may sense, I am quite indecisive and my indecisiveness is literally oozing out LOL. Sorry if I gave/am giving any of you a hard time with my questions! Also, thank you for your time!
