Oxford to Goizueta? Please Help!

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>Is it possible to transfer from Oxford to Goizueta? I heard that if you have a 2.5 GPA Emory accepts you? I am really confused on this whole process and would it be better to go from Oxford to Goizueta or Emory to Goizueta? Please Help! Also, What is Goizueta's acceptance rate?</p>

<p>80% acceptance rate, but you should have the pre-reqs done which means you will likely have to take financial accounting and stuff like that on main, and thus have to carefully plan your schedule for at least one semester so that you can commute. Also, you should have around a 3.5 to get into GBS (though they say that about 3.2 is acceptable). It may be harder at Oxford to obtain this because there are smaller classes, higher workloads (which normally results from smaller classes), and likely less grade inflation (however, even on main, the intro/core econ courses are now on the 3.15 curve which is the same as the core course B-school curve: [Program</a> Requirements](<a href=“Error 404 | Emory University | Atlanta GA”>Error 404 | Emory University | Atlanta GA) ). However, you will likely get better preparation and teachers for these courses at Oxford (it will likely be better than sitting in a giant lecture hall).</p>

<p>Ok Thanks, but would it be better to go to Emory or Oxford?</p>

<p>Well CAS is larger (the total at GBS/year is about 320, and I’m willing to bet 200+ are CAS, which is of course, almost 1/2 an Oxford class on its own. However, it’s only 1/6-1/5 a CAS freshman class) and also more pre-professionally (you’ll get a greater share of Oxford students going to grad. school or directly to work) oriented so of course these folks will be more represented. All of those things can easily be obtained at Oxford (as they heavily engage the community and actually offer more theory practice learning courses to freshman and sophomore audiences). In addition, I read that one can distinguish themselves academically by doing a sophomore honors project (as opposed to simply making high grades, and thus deans list). Again, I would just worry about the GPA. However, it will even out at both (Emory has the curves, and Oxford has raw rigor). </p>

<p>Just choose based on the environment you want. It doesn’t matter academically/preparation wise.</p>
