[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emory/Oxford which is their two year junior college.

Oregon, Arizona State, Kansas.[/quote]

Emory/Oxford is not a safety for most kids. Admission rate is still less than 20%.[/quote]
Admissions to Oxford at Emory is 10%. Emory College is 8.5%. Yall are chronically delusional on this site. [/quote]

Your numbers are off. According to its official website https://news.emory.edu/stories/2026/03/er_regular_decision_class_of_2030_26-03-2026/story.html, Emory's acceptance rate is 12.3%, obtained by dividing 5,317 applicants admitted to either Emory College or Oxford College or both, by 43,269 which represents the total number of applicants. No doubt Emory is not a safety for anyone, but it isn't as low as Emory mom wants it to be.[/quote]
That the combined rate for both colleges not the individual rate for each college. [/quote]

The combined rate would reflect the average of the two rates, adjusted to reflect the number at each school.  It can’t be higher than both numbers.  So, either this number is wrong or the ones quoted are wrong.[/quote]
No wise one, its not an avg just addition and subtraction because its the same pool of applicants.  You can decide whether or not to apply to one of the two colleges or both... 99% of the 43k apply to Emory college, however only 60% of the 43k apply to Oxford. 
3600/42000= 8.6%- Emory

2700/ 26000= 10.4%- Oxford

Both
((3700+2700)- 1000)/43000= 12.5%

Im arguing about Emory to people who cant do simple logical deduction. The reason the combined rate does not matter to you is because theres almost a 50% chance your child did not apply to Oxford College only Emory college so their acceptance rate is only around 8%. Theres also a chance your child only applied to Oxford thus the acceptance ratenwould only be around 10%.

Emory itself says the acceptance rate for Emory University (the combined entity) is 12 percent.[/quote]
Emorys news paper does that.  Emory's freshman profile reports them separately.
