ED at Duke is FAR more selective than ED at Emory.

Duke ED is 15%. Emory is 20%. That's not FAR....

Duke has only one Ed. Emory’s ED1 acceptance rate is well over 30 percent. A lower ED2 rate brings it to 20.

Bumping, it”# harder to get into Duke. Not sure why it matters though

My DC applied to both Duke and Emory - so I have no shade on either. I am the one who pointed out Duke is a harder admit and I stand by that. Obviously there are random admissions all over the T30. I'd be happy to be wrong and have DC accepted to Duke since DC prefers it. Emory result was Oxford acceptance, Main campus denied (not WL).

I don't think it's that different for RD. But good luck to your DC tonight.

This board never has anything nice to say about this school. The acceptance rate is 8%.

I think of it as a southern school. Nothing more or less.

And we can see why their rate is a mere 8%--given the excellent students just on page 1 that it has not accepted.

Something wrong with "southern schools?"

Plus 3 percent more test optional at main campus. I think non hooked kids applying RD are just more likely to be offered Oxford, despite same or better stats.

Emory is known not to like white students so this makes sense.

Yikes.

Well, they liked my white student and we both find you to be offensive, so maybe it's "you" and not "them".

Absolutely. Seems like they are taking kids they think are most likely to come rather than most qualified.

The student that was accepted in thus thread had higher stats than the ones rejected.

Is any of this surprising for a T20-25 school?

It's not, DCU just hates this school. It's actually comical the mental gymnastics to make a top 25 not elite.

My MCPS magnet DC with 1550 SAT, 4.0/4.8 GPA, NMF, national and regional awards, varsity captain and state championgot into Oxford and was thrilled. It's a tough market. In at BC, NEU and top 10 LACs, waitlisted at Vandy, WashU, NW, and Northwestern (all RD). The Oxford admit (with $) was such a relief and validation. DC went elsewhere for full tuition scholarship but was thrilled to get into Emory even with an Oxford start.

Oxford is nothing like Emory; not even close.

WFU with a "full ride" or a full tuition & fees scholarship ?

Yes full tuition and fees

"Full tuition & fees" is not a "full ride" scholarship. A full ride would include room & board & books.

Have the Emory applicants accepted to only Oxford ever visited the Oxford campus ?

Seems like the biggest college scam that I have heard of since Trump University.

Emory's Oxford campus is nothing like Emory's main campus in Decatur/Atlanta.

Regardless it's over 60k scholarship.

It's honestly no different from like Middlebury. It's very nice.

Yea Oxford seems to hold Emory back in a way.

The stats for the students admitted to Oxford ar similar to main campus, my guess is that RD main campus admits just suit institutional priorities better.

But it raises the acceptance rate, and makes people think it's not there with Rice and Vandy when it is when you only count the main campus.

It isn’t right there with Rice and Vandy because those Oxford kids all come to main campus and graduate with the same degree.

Oxford is no different than Transfer students

Actually they are, because Oxford students are considered Emory students from day one. There is no metric they need to meet to move to main campus.

Us news doesn’t consider the two the same.
