My Chances of Getting into Oxford of Emory/UGA/GSU?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

I’m a junior in high school and I’m thinking of applying to Oxford College of Emory. I know I’m already at a disadvantage because I’m not from a private school but I still want to give it a try! :slight_smile: I’m planning to apply to Oxford, UGA, and GSU so if you could help me figure out how high my chances are of getting into each college that would help a lot!!

Current GPA: 3.767 / 91.233%
SAT I: 1,730 (CR: 600 M:560 W:570) - taken once, I plan to take it again in the spring and fall senior year
Current Class Rank: 165 out of 756

By the end of senior year AP Courses:
AP Chem, AP US History, AP Bio, AP Statistics, AP Gov/Econ, AP Psych

Extracurriculars:
Key Club- 2 years (counting senior year: 3)
Relay for Life - 1 year (counting senior year: 2)
Art Club- 1 year
Partnerships In Action- 1 year (counting senior year: 2)
Leadership Team- 1 year (counting senior year: 2)

I also do a lot of volunteering.

I know its not all that spectacular but if you could give me some advice on what to do to higher my chances that would be soooo great. Thank you!!

First of all, more than half of Oxford students come from public schools, so you are not at a disadvantage there!
Second, nearly half of admitted students are admitted ED, so there is a clear benefit to applying ED if that is what your heart is set on.

By their profile, you are right in the average of admitted students for GPA, but quite a bit low on the SAT front.

Thanks! I do plan on taking the SAT again and I’m aiming for at least 1900-2000 range.
