Emory's Oxford College in Oxford, GA, isn't an independent, four-year liberal arts college and thus cannot be compared to LACs. Emory's official website (https://oxford.emory.edu/life/index.html) states that "Oxford is Part of Emory" and "As one of Emory's nine colleges and schools, Oxford embodies...." Students there would transition to Emory's Atlanta campus after two years. When DD and I attended an Emory's online info session, the two campuses were introduced in unison as entities on the same level. Oxford College is not an "afterthought" part of Emory as the Emory booster here would want you to believe because it "drags" down the school in her mind.

We know, but did you know Oxford College has its own admissions office? Emory is not like Northeastern or Umich where if you dont get into one college they place you into another. We're not applying to Oxford College so we're only talking about Emory College. Glad you can keep up.

Do US News and other rankings consider Emory College by itself excluding Oxford, or do they consider Emory University as a whole? Each time I see Oxford on a ranking, that's the one in UK. Is Northeastern ranked separately, one for the Boston campus and the other for London start?

Just want to chime in and suggest that parents should stop wasting time bickering about rankings and yield. What really matters is what your kid does while they are in college - the classes, clubs, relationships with profs, hustling to network with alums/upperclassmen, etc. Getting accepted is only the beginning. I see it in real time with my kids and their friends. Sometimes top internships go to the connected kids no matter how great you are and how prestigious your school is, and sometimes the most successful kids don't graduate from the highest rank school. There are many paths... and many great colleges. Wishing best of luck to all kids this cycle!

Google says you are lying. According to https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/emory-university-1564, "Emory University is ranked #24 in National Universities" and "The university has nine schools: Emory College of Arts and Sciences, Oxford College of Emory University, Emory University School of Medicine, ..." in addition, "Students can begin their undergraduate studies on one of two campuses, Emory College in Atlanta, GA, and Oxford College in Oxford, GA. The two colleges are academically equivalent."

Thus, contrary to your blatant lie, the ranking DOES NOT only consider Emory College. It considers Emory University as a whole. I know you dislike Oxford College because it drags down the university, but you can't just disown your weakest child.

Oxford college may be seen as the “weakest child” but there are plenty of high scoring kids there who could hold their own at most T-25’s and top LAC’s. In the Southeast, Oxford is better respected. Familiarity may have something to do with it as it does with a lot of things.

We have twins. One attends WashU and the other Emory. They are finishing up their freshman year and both are very happy. You can't go wrong with either school. This is a pointless discussion.

You're weird. US news says Emorys acceptance rate is 10%. Also says its test scores are 1480-1540. Clearly Oxford is not included in the calculation. You're trying way to hard to prove a point that isnt trying to be made. Oxford doesnt drag Emory down when its harder to get into than T25 schools.

This fight is stupid, the schools are
Practically identical.

But for the sake of accuracy, Econ at Emory is in the college of arts and sciences, not the business school. So, you may be using the wrong measuring stick here.

The undergraduate business programs at wash u and Emory are ranked very closely, usually in the nation's top 20. Both are good.
