[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So weird how Emory gets insulted and mocked for its Oxford campus. Saying its a back door and that its easy to get into despite the 13% acceptance rate. For some reason I feel Vandys new 3?, 4? Campuses wont get the same treatment when the acceptance rate is near 100% the first few years. [/quote]

Emory at Oxford is a bit of a scam. Students pay the same (unless this has recently changed) for a high school campus in a lost cost area as those at the main campus in Decatur/Atlanta with significantly more facilities and far better location for entertainment, internships, and life in general.

Key fact that you may not have considered: The yield rate for Emory at Oxford (the backdoor to Emory) is just 17%. This is pretty low. A healthy yield rate is 30% or higher.[/quote]
Emory at Oxford is just Emory’s original liberal arts college campus, so nothing high school about it. You get two years with small courses encouraging great recommendation letters for opportunities, and then you get to go to Emory main campus as an upperclassmen in more small courses and are actually eligible for the co op opportunities you are speaking about. You aren’t going to die for spending some time away from a major city. [/quote]
