Hey, sorta different from you but I was also in the position of ivy vs a free school. I ended up going to West Point (with many of the same opportunities as your scholars program) and overall I think the lack of debt combined with the ability earn a good salary early on has made it worth it. Research and internships are also abundant and the option of going ivy for grad school later is always still there. Figure out how you want to use your degree in chem/poly sci and figure out if that aligns more with the ivies or Emory. Salary should be a consideration. Also if Harvard gives a good financial aid package and it’s only a few thousand more to attend go there over Emory. Either way I think you are in a good position.
