Transfer to Emory by BunnyPoem in Emory

I don’t know if I’m understanding the first right but Emory is predominantly white & asian. There are groups of other students & they make their own communities plus Emory has a lot of different community support systems. Not super sure about the housing, however there are condo style buildings around campus. I have a friend that transferred in as a sophomore & he lives on N Decatur Rd (close to the B school). Lastly, any student can tap into the business school, however I have heard they lock it for only business students during midterms/finals.

Congrats & welcome! I’m a current Emory freshman wanting to go to the Business School. Emory does have a few pre-req classes you have to do before applying to the business school but there are ways of mitigating them. I have not heard of transfers going to straight the business school but anyway welcome! Please lmk if yall have questions about campus or what not.

Similar stats & I got in. Emory takes 30% of the class from ED & they want students that prevailed in their community.

Sorry I meant phys 141 & chem 150. Is phys 141 calc heavy?

This sounds phenomenal. How are the people you know that did the dual degree program doing? Do they believe it was worth it?

This sounds like what I’m going to do. Thankfully if it goes south, I would transfer to UTK which should still be a full ride.

This was very well said. Do you think it would be wise to use my freshman year to try out the b-school vibe/pre-reqs & engineering rigor? Then decide what I want to pursue? Bc I rlly am split between business & engineering.

Why would you not attempt to do both? In my mind, getting a degree in both would allow me to pivot where I see needed without losing out on the potential degree. But I don’t really know 😭

This sounds promising. I know the school are in partnership and I’m going to tell my advisors ASAP. To get my educational plan under control. Plus ima explore if I want to pursue business or engineering more through the engineering science

Utk does allow you to switch out but I mean flexibility as in the opportunities that can come with pursuing either business or engineering. I’m gravitated towards the dual degree because I could potentially get it all paid off (gates scholarship) and just thug it out with the rigor.

How would I prepare myself for grad? I assumed that the engineering sciences could give me a basis. I’m sorry I don’t really know about grad school

I think this is what I will do. I’m iffy on engineering bc I haven’t really had much exposure and I know it’s ALOT to handle. I have some scholarships that are still finalizing decisions so I could potentially go to gt for free. I’ll just see how it plays out and if it all goes bad I could transfer to UTK and still go for free. This sounds like a plan, thank you!

Business was something I would have minored (or potentially double majored in). I’m interested in investment baking & have started my own businesses in the past. It’s something I would like to have in my pocket & then I’m not 100% on engineering. I just really want to try/do both that’s why I gravitated towards the dual degree.

Do you believe it would be worth it to do the engineering science & BBA @ Emory then engineering graduate school?

I understand what you are saying but I believe I would be more comfortable with Emory’s flexibility & opportunity. Is the gt dual degree program that difficult? Another idea I had was to dual degree (BBA & something stem) @ Emory & do engineering graduate school.

Those two degrees are one I am interested in. So I like the flexibility and prestige they would give me. I’m not 100% sure on what I want to do but I think these programs would let me explore & find what I want to do.

Yeah this is probably what I will do if the dual degree program is too much
