<p>It seems to me that you may not be 100% sure about what direction you would like to go, academically. Economics major with a poli sci minor but pre-med curriculum sounds like you have a lot of different interests. If that is the case, you might want to choose schools based on factors other than particular strength in one or two fields.</p>

<p>Vanderbilt likes students who volunteer in programs that strengthen the connection between Vandy and Nashville. There seem to be a lot of opportunities along that line. The premed students I know have had no trouble combining pre-med interests with volunteerism. I can’t compare Emory with Vandy, as I don’t know too much about Emory.</p>
<p>Enjoy your visits. I think they will help you make a decision.</p>
