Is Oxford right for me?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Emory University

<p>Hi guys! I was waitlisted at Emory University and chose to join the waitlist as well as transfer my application to Oxford. I have a 3.5 UW GPA, 32 ACT and decent extracurriculars...what are the chances i don't get accepted by Oxford? What about getting in off the waitlist for Emory? </p>

<p>Assuming I do get in to Oxford and not into Emory College I was wondering if you guys could take a shot at determining whether Oxford is a fit for me. I know that it is vital that I visit Oxford (which I will soon) but until then I'd really appreciate some insight on my situation.</p>

<p>I'm concerned with the social life at Oxford and, more importantly, the difficulty of the classes there. I really want to go to a T14 law school and I do know that law school admissions is purely LSAT and GPA based. Thus my question: how difficult are the Oxford classes? I am in the International Baccalaureate program at my school and am use to an intense workload but how difficult would it be to attain a 3.7+ GPA at Oxford? Can someone give me insight into the classroom dynamics at Oxford i.e. are there curves or is there homework every class? </p>

<p>Also, is it easy to use IB/AP credits at Oxford to kind of hurry the transition into Emory College? Don't get me wrong, I am really excited to go to Oxford but getting my degree faster would save my family a lot of money...</p>

<p>Right now my IB/AP scores are as follows:</p>

<p>AP Biology: 2
AP World History: 3
AP Art History: 3
AP English Language: 4
IB Standard Level Psychology: 4 </p>

<p>I will be taking 3 Higher Level tests and 2 Standard Level tests this year but from those scores will Oxford let me skip any classes?</p>

<p>Any information or insight is much appreciated! Thank you so much for your time!</p>
