@husgomboc I’ve received a merit based gran (Liberal Arts Scholars) but I also applied for financial aid, yet no financial aid package yet =/ (I’m an international). 3.6 GPA and 2090 SAT - Amazing Extracurriculars - I think thats the reason I got in.

@FranciscoSan Have you received your financial aid letter yet?
Hi! I am a current Oxford student! When I found out I was rejected to Emory and accepted to Oxford, I was extremely bummed and almost didn’t come to Oxford. I will tell you that coming here has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Compared to the Emory campus, it’s much easier to get leadership positions! Also, you get a chance to genuinely meet everyone! Classes are more in-depth and the professors are awesome. Although you may be sad now, please consider coming. It is a really awesome campus. If you have any questions, you can contact me! My name is Damon Routzhan and with a name like that, you can find me on Facebook. I’d love to answer questions and tell you about my experience here! Emory accepted students, don’t just default to Emory. A lot of my friends here were accepted to both and came here because of the close knit atmosphere we have! Please contact me with questions!
