What’s the difference?

Oxford campus is tiny (900 students) with fewer course offerings and is very rural. It's great if your child would like a very small liberal arts school for the first two years and then move downtown to a bigger school. It seems like a lovely place and with faculty who care about the students. It's amazingly diverse (despite being in a non-diverse location) and it's really on the students to run all the clubs there (with only 2 years of students to run the show) But it's a very different experience from downtown Emory those first two years - whether it's "for you" depends on your preferences.

Unlike another school often discussed on this board, Emory will not consider a student for Oxford start unless they affirmatively select it on the application.

You’re a nasty bully. Your existence illustrates why some students would rather not go anywhere near UVa.

NP, but I don't see how this is nasty. PP gave specific, measurable differences (minus "fun").

Rice is a different level than Emory.

Says who? You? Who are you?
Us news says they both have a 4.2 for reputation scores so I'll go with that.

Maybe PP was talking about Luther Rice College. Because otherwise, newp.

You only wish! What’s your beef anyway? Sorry Elory ejected you and you had to do with UVA!

Yall are delusional. Rice, Emory, WashU are the same school different fonts. Same reputation same test scores etc. In fact Rice underperforms in a lot of areas like business.

I wasn’t pre med when I entered Emory but then I became pre med and now I’m a doctor! Had great science teachers! I actually even enjoyed Calculus there.

Not the majority, but a large percentage. Emory is very preprofessional. Most students are pre something. Emoryboretty much good at everything except engineering or physics. Otherwise it's a great choice

UVA has been 26 plenty of times. Emory is still more prestigious
