Georgia Tech vs. Oxford College (Emory)

Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgia Institute of Technology

I’m planning on going in as a chemistry major on the pre-med track. I’ve narrowed my options down to Oxford College at Emory and Georgia Tech. A lot of the stats I see online suggest they are pretty comparable as far as chemistry programs go, except really that GPA might be easier at Oxford and its more liberal arts oriented. However, I am fairly unfamiliar with pre-med at either school and what it involves. So if you know or would like to share anything that might help me make my decision, please let me know!

Thank you!!!

(btw I got into a research-oriented living learning community (SMaRT) at tech)

It will be a little easier to get into Medical school from GaTech, because med schools today want math oriented students. Math is the number one major now to get into med school and GaTech will give you more options to take math and chemistry together, perhaps, than Emory. I don’t know that GaTech is that hard for GPA, about half the students in my son’s classes at GaTech can earn an A.
