I’m torn between a decision between Boston University, and Oxford College at Emory. I’ve been put on the waiting list for Emory College at Emory, so for now, I have to deposit into one of these colleges.

I’ve been admitted into Boston University CAS, and am thinking of doing Economics or a business related major.

Oxford College, for those of you who do not know, is a 2 year liberal arts school 40 miles from Emory College (the main campus). The caliber of students at Oxford College is relatively weaker compared to Emory College. But after 2 years, they get transferred to Emory College, and also have an option to apply to Goizueta B school (which 75% of Oxford applicants get in). At the end of the 4 years All prior Oxford Students earn an BA/BBA from Emory University, as well as an AA from Oxford College.

Taken from US news Emory is ranked 17 in the nation. versus 57 at Boston University. But I worry about future prospects and whether employers will see that I have an AA at Oxford and would “discriminate” as it is an easier school to get into compared to Emory.

Thanks for the help! Any post would influence me on deciding on this 4 year investment
