I have no idea what University of Edinburgh is just as some/many won’t know what Emory is (I mean, we are an up an elite school that is still up and coming. Luckily, those who matter know about it), and, so I have no idea how that’s relevant. All I know is that Emory does your areas of interests well (I don’t know about comparisons w/elsewhere, I just know it’s darn good)

Anyway, I don’t know. Seriously, what’s the worst that happens? You come to Emory and study something like political science (or international studies), English, history, or philosophy, all areas at which Emory excels? It can’t hurt to come. If anything, just come to Emory and don’t major in business. Emory is good at other things besides business and pre-med despite what everyone hears. In fact, in can be argued that we actually provide a more interesting and perhaps better experience in other non-preprof related studies. If you want to get a masters or law degree eventually, Emory will certainly help you in this arena. You can just take business courses if you want to develop a background in some business area (provided the courses have room for you and you have the pre-reqs), many of my friends have done this. Point is, coming to Emory doesn’t exactly hurt. I don’t see how it would be a waste of time. Whether it’s a waste of time is up to you.
