Congrats for acceptance
You are totally right Goizueta has good reputation for consulting taking into account its location in Atlanta compared to Austin, for example Bain main office . Also, career service in Goizueta is strong and exerts great effort as I know from students. I have uploaded the new employment report 2015.
Wish you success
P.S. May I ask what you GMAT score was?
Thanks, the career services department at Goizueta is one of the driving factors pushing me towards Emory. Everyone I've talked to seems to rave about how great they are. It certainly doesn't hurt that so many major companies have offices in Atlanta. My GMAT score was 690.

The main question is whether you should pay your deposit or not, and I think you should... on the last day it is due.
This should not preclude you from trying your luck with at least 2 other schools and applying to McCombs and potentially a higher ranked school just to see what happens. Getting a partial scholarship indicates that Emory feels you are a strong candidate likely to get admission in multiple schools and they would not only give you admission but would like to have you and would pay you to come. That's a strong validation of your candidacy and an indicator that if you have done this well on your first app, you are likely to do better on the subsequent ones.... esp. if they decide to be more generous and if McCombs offers you a full ride.... just a thought.
Well, I already applied to McCombs but the decision date isn't until Thursday. However, Emory's deposit deadline is Friday so I have to figure out what I'll do in each scenario right now since I won't have much time to figure it later. I am applying to a reach school in round 2 just to see what happens (Ross).

Congratulations on your acceptance!
I am also thinking about management consulting and have been accepted into UNC and Emory so far - waiting on two more decisions this week. Emory's employment numbers are extremely impressive, especially when it comes to management consulting. McCombs is slightly higher on most rankings, but that doesn't mean the school is a better fit for you as an individual and a better fit for your personal MBA goals. If getting a job in management consulting is your priority, you will have the opportunity at either school, but statistically, Emory may give you a better chance.
Good luck with your decision!
Thanks for the advice! Good luck to you as well!
