As long as you did a good job on your essays, I don't see a problem getting into Emory College. Oxford... I'm biased against it... they tend to have a reputation that anyone can get in there... but I am not certain about that.

Oxford: you will most probably get in. Emory: you have a good chance too.

I started off at Oxford. Though it is easier to get into than Emory, this notion that "anyone" can get in isn't really accurate. I had a HS GPA of about 3.9 (unweighted) and an ACT score of 30.

I have a friend who went to a very distinguished private school and had very good credentials and still got rejected. Nothing is guaranteed.

But on paper, you look like a good candidate for either school. A lot of it depends on your essays and letter of recs.

Best of luck!
