<p>Is it easy to transfer to oxford college at Emory? I am really interested in doing so and can't find the transfer statistics anywhere!</p>
<p>We have very few transfers each year and transfer admissions seems to be a bit fickle here. How many credit hours do you have?</p>
<p>Would you be looking for sophomore status?</p>
<p>If so, I’d call Admissions and ask them. I’m curious to see what they say.</p>
<p>I’m applying to both Emory and Oxford for transfer admissions, but as of now, I’m seriously leaning towards Oxford. I go to a large state school, and I personally want to go to Oxford for year simply because there are less people, the campus is smaller, and it’s just easier to manage than transferring straight into Emory College.</p>
<p>As far as I know, the requirements for Oxford are a 3.0 GPA or higher and you need at least 30 credit hours. And when it comes to ACT scores, anywhere from a 24 - 28 is average. If you have great high school stats, that’s even better. With Emory College, I’ve heard a good GPA is 3.3 or higher and anywhere from a 28 to 32 on ACT should be fine. Also, I think Emory College requires 30 credit hours as well, but don’t hold me to that one.</p>
<p>Anyway, I’ve been looking for other students who are wanting to transfer to either school. I heard last year, there were less than 50 transfer students to Oxford, so it’s not really a popular way to go. I have nothing against going to Oxford for a year; as long as I get to go to Emory, I’m content.</p>
<p>While some state schools have cut-offs or can give you a good of what GPA you need to transfer, that’s not how Emory or Oxford works. 3.0 is effectively the absolute minimum GPA to transfer to any school of “recognized” standing.</p>
<p>I would note that, if you transfer to Oxford, you have to complete the requirements for the A.A. before continuing to Emory college. Oxford’s requirements are a bit different from Emory’s so that can be frustrating. Also, we do not accept credit for online classes, our AP policies are likely different than other schools, and we do not grant transfer credit for PE courses. </p>
<p>There are honestly very few transfer students here (nowhere near 50) and I can’t tell you what they’re looking for. I know of two transfer students here at Oxford… one from LSU and one from the community college. However, the LSU student said his friend was denied to Oxford with 3.7 from UMich, so nothing’s promised. Our ACT average is actually 25 to 30 for freshman, but that may not be relevant for transfer students.</p>
<p>I mean, the 3.0 thing I should have down. In fact, I’m taking summer courses this year, and at the start of next school year, my GPA should be like, 3.6 or so.</p>
<p>Also, with the UMich student who was rejected, there’s no telling what he/she had on the ACT/SAT, or if he/she had recommendations, good essays, or extracurriculars/internships to include on his/her app. I have all those things plus more to bring to Oxford/Emory. Plus, I’m an economics major and I’ve heard that Emory/Oxford has a lot of those. I’d fit right in.</p>
<p>But thank you, James. I’m glad you could help.</p>
<p>I may be misinterpreting you, but I want to reiterate that there’s no estimated GPA to get in like many state schools have. The minimum of a 3.0 doesn’t indicate that you have a realistic possibility of admissions. Rather, it indicates that your application will not be considered if your GPA is below a 3.0. Also, it only matters what you’re GPA during the application process. If you’re applying this semester, what your GPA may or may not be after the summer will not matter.</p>
<p>In any case, I wish you the best of luck. Let me know if you have any more questions.</p>
