Emory vs UCLA (interview)

[younggotti]

A lil weird bc I haven't gotten into UCLA, but I have an Emory acceptance, and recently received a UCLA II. Emory is currently one of my top choices, along with two NY schools I already interviewed at. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth attending the UCLA interview right now. I'm in grad school & really need all the time I can get this quarter bc classes & thesis. UCLA is higher ranked on USNWR, but Emory is already pretty highly ranked (24), so I'm not sure what the difference in experience would be.

Reasons why I'm thinking Emory>UCLA for me

• Atlanta
  • Cheap cost of living
  • Rap central (I love rap)
  • Decent weather
  • I've lived in CA for 5+ yrs and am looking for something new
• CDC & Global Health Opps
• Grady & Underserved focus

Is there anything I'm missing? Any and all help would be great!

If you feel like you wouldn't seriously consider it because of cost of living or whatever priorities you have in mind, then it's not worth the cost of attending an interview especially if you have your top choice secured
