Probably the Woodruff scholarship. I know Wharton is better for finance, but I would take the money and go to Emory. Kids seem much happier there. Save the money and he can use it for an MBA in 10 years.

This!!

If you do Wharton undergrad you don't need an MBA. Something else to consider. I'm sure the Emory scholarship is very prestigious, but for Wall Street careers it won't open doors like Wharton does.

Wharton = lots of debt so no matter what you need to be making tons of money. Money = someone owns your soul until you payoff the debt.

Emory = freedom of choice with less debt.

You can see where I would lean.

The free ride of course.

I feel like this post was a humble brag op.

Can’t he eventually get into Wharton Business school post Emory?
I agree with full ride and save up for business school if he doesn’t already have a secured way in by then

Emory is an amazing choice if they stay in finance (yes Wharton has better connections, but Emory is not without connections). Should he choose to switch majors, emory for free then becomes 1000x the better choice (it already is unless you are rich).

He’s a finance major. He doesn’t know?

Think about it.
