Vandy vs Emory Forum

[timelovesahero]

I ultimately want a career working for a government agency (local or federal) or lobbying and drafting legislation for non-profits. I plan to stay on the East Coast. I am not adverse to working in the private sector for a few years to gain experience and gain money to pay of debt. Thanks for your input.

I vote Vandy. I don't think the $ difference is enough to sway things in Emory's favor.

Seconded even though you accepting your spot is one less opening for us WLers

Out of curiosity, would it change anyone's position if I said I wouldn't work in the private sector after graduation, or is Vandy such a better school that the 35k debt difference is nothing.

I have a 1L friend who is doing well at Emory, found a good paying summer job, etc. But I talked to him about this choice and he seemed to think Vandy offered better prospects and was probably a bit more laid back than Emory in terms of atmosphere.
