Most schools that are not HYPSM engage in some sort of gaming to attract or lock in top students. That includes ED. Emory is not the only one. |
I’m baffled anyone cares this much? No allegiance at all, just odd how some schools get outsized venom. |
NP - why wouldn’t you add Oxford? It is, after all an integral part of Emory University |
All ranking publications separate the two schools, why would you include them? UVa wise is different from UVA. Barnard different from Columbia, Northeastern Oakland different than the Boston campus, NYU, Duke, Yale Nus etc. Why should Emory be treated differently. Emory is the only one that releases stats for its sister campus, mainly because its actually selective. |
All Oxford students end up at Emory and graduate from there. Not the case for Barnard. USNWR does not separately rank Oxford from Emory. Perhaps you’re trying too hard. |
Emory's acceptance rate this past class was 12.4% (3,621 to just Emory and 1,106 to either Emory or Oxford (their choice) for a total of 4,726 admitted to Emory out of 37,855 applicants = 12.4%) https://www.emorywheel.com/article/2025/03/emory-sees-slight-increase-in-acceptance-rate-for-class-of-2029 |
You're not doing the math right. 3621 is what Emory College accepted all together. That number includes the ones accepted to Emory and Oxford. So its 3621/37855= 9.5% |
The people I know who actually attended Emory have said that the Oxford students integrate well and hold their own academically when they join the main campus. The stats of the incoming Oxford students support this as well. Neither Emory nor Oxford would be my first choice (I like some lower ranked schools better) but the comparisons should be better- informed. |
sigh |
Yeah..this is wrong. |
"Amid turbulence in higher education surrounding cuts to the U.S. Department of Education’s funding, Emory University admitted 4327 students to the Class of 2029 through Regular Decision on March 26. This year, the overall acceptance rate across all admission rounds was 14.95%, a slight increase from last year’s 14.5% rate. 37,855 students applied to Emory this year, almost 3,000 more applicants than last year."
"Of the 5,658 students Emory accepted across all admissions rounds, 3,621 were admitted to ECAS and 3,142 were admitted to Oxford. The University admitted 1,105 students to both ECAS and Oxford." https://www.emorywheel.com/article/2025/03/emory-sees-slight-increase-in-acceptance-rate-for-class-of-2029 |
so much mental gymnastics to make emory look good when the article it self quotes 15%. dumb |
this idiot booster is doing wonders persuading people lol. |
For those of us not in the know, what are the differences between Emory and Oxford besides the campus location? Or is it just the campus location and most people who got into Oxford and attend wanted to go to Emory Atlanta? |
Literally the only purpose of this ridiculous OP is to put down a school. Obviously it isn’t a genuine question. I suggest getting a life. |
