<p>There's no common data set for just Oxford (I assume that's why Emory's numbers on their common data set are deceivingly low). There is also no published ED acceptance rate on the College Board website... However, it has the number of students that "applied early action" and were "admitted early action" but under "applied early decision" and "admitted early decision" there's nothing written... Is this an error, or in 2011 (unfortunately CB still uses the 2011 numbers) did Oxford use EA? I know now they use ED, so... I'm confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>Hey EliKresses. There were a few notable admissions changed that occurred at Oxford this year:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Oxford switched from EA to ED 1 & 2. That’s why there’s no available data on early decision. As an aside, students may apply early decision to both the College of Arts and Sciences and Oxford College. If admitted to both, students can choose between the two.</p></li>
<li><p>Effective this year, Oxford no longer accepts transfer applications.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>One of the difficulties in applying to Oxford is that the numbers seem to change drastically from one year to the next and Oxford is a little slow about updating this information. I wouldn’t expect the online Class Profile to be updated until September or October. With a >50% increase in applications this year and the advent of ED, the numbers might look quite a bit different.</p>
<p>The EA acceptance rate was very very high (~86%) so shouldn’t the ED rate still be high, as it’s actually binding, unlike EA?</p>
<p>When I went to Oxford this past summer to visit, I believe the main campus’s ED rate was around 40% and Oxford itself was something a bit higher. I doubt it’ll be ~86% again as more and more students are finding out about this college. More applicants, more competition, smaller % acceptance. </p>
<p>This college truly is a rare opportunity for those who didn’t perform as well in high school as most others.</p>
<p>I doubt ED or EA will make that much of a difference. Financial wise, there are a lot of wealthy parents out there willing to pay big bucks for their kids to succeed.</p>
<p>Did Oxford release its EA rate?</p>
<p>I would imagine the ED acceptance rate will be pretty high, but I’m not sure how many people will be applying ED. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Who didn’t perform as well in high school as most others? Maybe as well as most other students attending top schools, but certainly they did much better than the majority of high school students.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Much of a difference in what? Emory and Oxford care a lot about demonstrated interest and that’s one thing that ED does. Besides, yield formulas are hard to predict and you’re more or less sure that your ED admits will attend.</p>
<p>Yes, I meant to say students who did not perform as well as students who are attending other top schools. Sorry, based from your reply, I did not mean to offend you or others. Of course Oxford students are better than your average high school student, and have much more potential in general.</p>
