<p>I was recently accepted to Oxford College at Emory but not Emory main campus. I had a 3.3 GPA in high school and a 1890 SAT. I had been rejected from NYU Stern and USC Marshall. </p>
<p>When I found out the news about Oxford, I immediately thought it was a trap. It does not seem right that such a competitive school like Emory, which takes top tier students, would take students of such a lower caliber into Oxford only to then send them onto Emory main. With that logic, couldn't just about anyone apply to Oxford and then get into a highly competitive school like Emory? What would be the point of even really trying to get good grades to get into Emory main in the first place?</p>
<p>Do you see my point here? Some people claim that Oxford exists to help nurture students who have great potential to move onto Emory, students that belong at Emory but need some fine tuning. I haven't completely bought this argument. I feel like Oxford is just a way for Emory to take lesser qualified students, take their money, and then send them onto Emory main where they face a very difficult time trying to get into their desired school like Goizuta Business. </p>
<p>Opinions? Everywhere I've looked, it seems people dance around the topic of Oxford or think that Oxford students are "Oxtards". Why do we never hear about any business majors in Goizuta that started out in Oxford? Can someone please set the record straight?</p>
