Well, Emory excels in that field.

When I visited, the Honor’s Program looked pretty good! All of the students looked academically driven, but at the same time they weren’t completely detached from the rest of the school. They were extremely fun people, to be honest so you’ll definitely have a social life.

UGA also has great research opportunities available for their Honors students! Emory probably isn’t as good with that. If you receive a degree from Emory’s med school people will definitely recognize it (especially in the South).

I liked UGA’s Honor’s program, actually.

While I was there the students told me that the program is easier than the normal classes because the professors expect you to know the material and they don’t give you as many tests and quizzes. They also have to report why you didn’t get an A in the class if you make a B or lower, so they want to see their students succeed.

Overall, the program looks great!
