<p>^^^It will not effect it at all. The only law schools that care about undergrad school a lot are HYS, and even then your degree is from Emory is more important. To be honest going to HYPM is like a +1 LSAT point at any other school besides HYS. Going to Oxford will not hurt you, but going to Emory will not really help much either. LSAT and GPA are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much more important. Law school admissions in a numbers game.</p>
<p>do students at oxford have to maintain a certain gpa to be admitted into emory?
is it harder for students at oxford to get into the business school?</p>
<p>also there is no greek life for students at oxford right?</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure there is no greek life t oxford, although there is at Emory.
I just visited emory main and it is very different from Oxford. it is on a much grander scale and simply bustling with more activity. I was also very very (pleasantly) surprised at the ethnic diversity there.</p>
<p>Oxford as social clubs which are basically local fraternities. But a little different. Some might be coed. I didn't go to Oxford, so I'm not too familiar with them. However, it is possible to pledge a fraternity on main campus if you go to Oxford, though it might be a little difficult because of the drive. </p>
<p>Also, you have to have a certain GPA to continue to Emory, but I think it's only a 2.0. </p>
<p>It's not harder to get into Goizueta.</p>
<p>i was rejected from emory college but just recently applied to oxford

<p>I applied on the first (right after I found out decision) and found out on the eleventh. So about a week and a half. I got accepted and I think I'm going to go.</p>
<p>i applied on the 7th so i guess i should hear back next week
thanks for your help</p>
<p>what were your stats if you dont mind posting?
and did u find out through opus?</p>
<p>male-NJ
SAT
CR- 620 M- 780 W-580
GPA- 92.5/100 weighted dont know what it is unweighted but I think this was the reason I was rejected from main campus
Some comm college courses got a B in CALC I and an A in intro to business (Best CC in state don't know if that helps)
AP CALC AB- 4, AP WORLD-3 taking APUS now
Rank 41/250 not amazing i know but there a lot of kids in my school that take all the easy classes and get 99s in them
Really Good ECs (varsity sports, eagle scout, over 600 hours of community service)
Decent essays I'm not that good of a writer (look at my SATs) but I wrote about Emory's commitment to the surrounding area
pretty good recs- got some from some of my college profs</p>
<p>Yes I found out through OPUS</p>
<p>is every rejected applicant invited to apply to oxford?</p>
<p>Yes every reject and waitlist is encouraged to apply. From what I hear they like to post decisions on Friday...so I would expect one on the 18th.</p>
<p>hopefully by friday
i mean i would like to visit if accepted and may 1st is right around the corner</p>
<p>Oxford has their last accepted student day on the 25th</p>
<p>Son transferred to Oxford and did not apply to Emory as he liked the idea of the small college community. He spent 3 semesters at both campuses and as I mentioned earlier, he did even better at Emory than at Oxford, making the Dean's list every semester at both colleges. He found out today he is graduating with High Honors in his major. He said that some Emory students were prejudiced against Oxford students and felt they were not as "qualified" (I guess there always is a small minority of students that look for someone to put down); however, it is known that as a group, Oxford students have higher overall GPA than Emory students. In the case of my son, he felt that his experience at Oxford enabled him to take better advantage of the offerings at the main campus and to perform well there. I am not so sure that he would have been as successful academically had he gone directly to Emory College from h.s.</p>

People at Oxford are generally less intelligent than those at the main campus, unless they went there for financial reasons, so the emory(main campus) crowd will likely score higher on standardized tests on average anyway.

<p>I don't feel like that's a fair comment. We always say that there are thousands of qualified applicants who are rejected from top schools. A rejection says nothing about your intelligence. My stats were on par with or higher than some of the other people who were accepted at Emory and I was rejected. If I want to go to Emory enough, I might go to Oxford, but that doesn't make me less intelligent.</p>
<p>I understand that the average SAT score at Oxford is lower and that some students at Oxford may not be on the same academic level as those on the main campus, but there are certainly still very intelligent people at Oxford. Beyond that, please remember that the SAT does not necessarily say anything about intelligence. Some people are bad test-takers; others don't have the time to extensively study for a standardized test that really has no long-term importance or value. Some of the best students at my school are not the most intelligent, but the ones who worked the hardest (and work ethics can certainly change in college).</p>
<p>My son did not find any differences in the academics or quality of students at both institutions. There were some strong students who preferred Oxford over Emory, others attracted by scholarship, and still others with similar stats (likecj<em>suv6) as Emory College admitees but were waitlisted or rejected (as cj</em>suv6 mentioned, rejection says nothing about one's abilities as a student-just whether the admissions office picked one student over another. I would suspect there is a lot of overlap in academic achievement and potential between those accepted vs. those rejected). There also were some students that did not have quite the same stats and preparation as typical Emory College students. However, I believe the admission staff felt these students were nonetheless qualified as they would eventually become Emory College students, and with a more personal and intensive program during the first two years at Oxford, they would be well-prepared to take advantage of what Emory College had to offer.</p>
<p>I am reminded by Dr. Seuss' book on the Sneetches. The star-bellied ones looked down on the plain-bellied ones. Sometimes, students will find others to put down because they do not have a strong enough sense of who they really are. For my son, the Oxford/Emory combination was a great experience. He also was able to excel at Emory College, in part, due to the preparation he had at Oxford. He is recommending the same combination to his younger brother.</p>
<p>this is really random but i didnt want to make another thread for it
how is the food at oxford? im a vegetarian, would it be difficult finding different things to eat?</p>
<p>i believe the food at oxford is the same as at emory. there's a wide selection of food, but you might have to hit the salad bar up pretty frequently..</p>
<p>um i don't really think there's a wide selection of food at oxford. there's one cafeteria. it gets pretty old</p>
