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?

They only consider Emory College.

Link?

You cant Google usnews/emory?

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.

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.

So are you saying Emory embellishes their stats to US News, disregarding Oxford's and reporting only Emory College's?

Just posting this multiple times doesn't make it true.

Clearly, you've never met Dooley. IFKYK. And he is alive and well.

You sound like an idiot but keep on posting.

I rarely hear Emory mentioned but on this board.

In fact, Emory is better known as a hospital system in Atlanta than as a university. This must not sit well with those Emory boosters. I also find it strange that these boosters are so keen on downplaying the role of one of its component colleges. If my current sophomore is accepted at Oxford College I'd be elated.

I believe those accepted at Oxford can also select to be admitted to Emory's main campus.

My DC was admitted to Emory Oxford this year, and is planning to study Economics. The ideal job would be in Finance. What would be your advice for course selection, club participation, research opportunities, internship seeking, etc., if you are familiar with this school?

BTW, DC chose Oxford over Atlanta campus because they want a liberal arts education in the first two years before they focus on Business classes.

People in the know, know Emory. Thats how it should be. However it is the 29th most applied to university in the nation so its not a flyover school by any means.

My DC attends Emory college (DC is a sophomore). We didn't tour Wash U, so can't comment. DC said same thing as others stated that they are similar schools, just wasn't interested in Wash U location.

I am not "Emory mom', but I can dispel the myth that Emory is not fun. My DC is involved in numerous activities and has a rich social life. DC has made a ton of good friends and enjoys both activities on campus and in Atlanta. School fun and social doesn't have to be all around sports (which Emory has BTW, just not as big of a deal).

The buzz is that Oxford students can and do participate in the finance-related activities on the main campus but they need to be more proactive about it, especially for on-campus recruiting. There are multiple shuttles between the two campuses. Many people I know who went to Oxford feel very positive about their experience there and about the sense of community.

That's 29th in the nation? That is surprising. It's 3rd largest number in Georgia. Georgia Tech has the most, followed by UGA then Emory.
