When students who have leadership positions at Oxford continue, do they tend be able to get leadership at main despite not having as many connections?
You would expect Oxford continuees not to, but there was a statistic from a few years ago that students on the Atlanta campus who attended Oxford for their freshmen and sophomore years actually held a disproportionate amount of leadership positions there compared to those who studied in Atlanta for their first two years.

@yearight : That just makes sense as Oxford is smaller and likely tries to pack lots of experiences into 2 years, many of them providing leadership opps . Many Oxford students already come in with a solid level of experience partially built by the curriculum there. Emory main is more like free for all. Things like leadership and service are of course not as integrated into or coincide with the academic curriculum especially in freshmen and sophomore years. Like I remember the CoLa Paris course (where they went to the Climate conference) was I believe limited to juniors and seniors. Obviously, since Oxford is two years, special academic opportunities can’t be limited like that. It is more like:“for those who want it, you can do it now”. Also, being at a smaller institution typically means, you’re more likely to know what opportunities exist. I find that some opps on main are almost too well-hidden or poorly advertised (including even national and internal fellowships/scholarships. There are extremely qualified students who have no idea about some of these).
