<p>Neither of these schools fit your wants 100% but I think Vandy would be better.
I have no idea how the Econ and Pre-med departments compare, but I don’t think you could go wrong with either school academically. There are plenty of opportunities to volunteer here at vandy and there are also a lot of opportunities for research (even as a freshman). The “work hard, play hard” mentality definitely sums up Vandy more than Emory, and we have a LOT more school spirit.</p>
<p>The social life here is what you make of it. I’d be lying if I said that greeks didn’t dominate the social scene, but there are other things to do if you’re not interested in that. </p>
<p>As for the asian thing, there’s going to be some self-segregation no matter where you go. If you’re used to being around a lot of asians, then coming to vandy might be a little bit of a shock. I don’t think you’d have a problem fitting in though</p>
