<p>Hi, I have been accepted to Virginia Tech for Management and Oxford College of Emory University. I think the only reason I got accepted to Oxford College of Emory was because my bro went to Emory college with good stats. </p>
<p>My main concern is doing well in college, and I’m afraid if I go to Emory University I might end up getting my butt kicked there at Oxford College. The reason is my weighted GPA at high school is a 3.52 and my SATs were only 560Math, 500CR, and 620Writing. I know its pretty crappy. And that is my reason that I think I won’t do well at Oxford aside from the fact it is a college of arts and sciences and I suck in science. I want to major in business by the way. I mean I have taken AP History i/II, AP French and Honors chem and gotten “B’s” in all those classes. Then I’ve also taken AP Bio, Honors Physics, and Honors Geometry and gotten “C’s”. It was especially hard with wrestling. And I tend to do bad on my midterms and finals. In other words, I don’t think I’m cut out for Emory or VT.</p>
<li><p>What would you recommend for a guy like me wanting to do business?</p></li>
<li><p>What can I do to prepare for Oxford College of Emory - summer programs or books?</p></li>
<li><p>How hard is Oxford College…how is it, the experience, the people, the exams?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I would greatly appreciate it if someone answered these questions with some feedback or advice. I just don’t feel convinced that I will do well at college and I need some advice or something that will help me.</p>
<p>I am a current student in Emory College and I intend to enter the b-school next year. I think that your Oxford College admission is an amazing opportunity. Sure, it will be difficult. You will most likely have to work your butt off. However, that hard work will produce amazing results. If you really want to do business, Emory is one of the best places in the country to do it. I don't think you should pass up this opportunity.</p>

<li> Think about what classes you want to take. Maybe find what books are required for these classes and read them in the summer. Maybe just read books on subjects which you enjoy.</li>

<p>SAT scores are great, but the reality is that professors don't know your SAT scores when they are grading your papers. No one really cares about SAT scores once you're enrolled in college. Sure, SAT scores may evaluate one's ability to read, write, and solve math problems, but college, in general, is not a timed, standardized test. Working hard, managing your time well, and having intellectual passions are what is important to being succesful, in my opinion.</p>
<p>I think I will attend Oxford at Emory University. I'm willing to put in hard work but I'm afraid what if I put in hard work and it doesn't produce the results that are reasonable. Look, I have a friend going to Syracuse who is doing premed and from what I hear of other kids at my current high school he's doing pretty bad. I saw him last year at high school with his ear pierced and his hair all wacky. Could be doing drugs or not. It's just that I've heard ppl who work hard and have to sometimes drop out or move to other schools.
After all I'm just a hard working average kid who just wants to do well - not party, not get drunk, and not involve myself in inappropriate situations.</p>
<p>Maybe if I take a summer course or read some college preparation books I might gain some confidence...any suggestions y'all? And while we're at it which AP exam is the easiest to SELF study for...I want to take economics or some business related AP.</p>
<p>I think if I recalled correctly..It was microecon. But hey, If I get accepted into Oxford, I will be seeing you (since its such a small school!) :)</p>
