As a wait listed Emory applicant who submitted a deposit to W&M, I am trying to decide now which I would rather attend. I’m looking to study business, so at either Goizueta or Mason, and see that Emory has a little more prestige in that department. However, Emory still has a good program. What worries me a little more is the difference in social atmospheres as I’ve heard that Emory is not as tight knit as W&M is. So, essentially, I am trying to weigh academic prestige vs. social atmosphere, and still trying to find out what the real truths about both schools are. My dad attended W&M, but obviously his opinions are a bit dated. Any insights that could be offered would be greatly appreciated.
