<p>[/ul]General Comments:</p>

<p>Happy I’m in, but can’t shake the feeling that Oxford is somehow an inferior campus to the main one in Atlanta (Oxford has lower stats). Still would definitely attend right now if Temple hadn’t given me basically a full ride but we’ll see! Hopefully I will get the money necessary to go. Congrats to all those admitted! To those on waitlists - don’t give up, show your interest! To those rejected, “…remember that in the long run where you go to college is far less important than what you do with the opportunities that surely will come your way.” Regardless of your outcome, Good luck to everyone!</p>
