<p>For one, at least one will work out. Two, yes Oxford could work. The classes are small and they have a very innovative approach to teaching (in fact quite an innovative cirriculum. Even though I’ve never gone to Oxford, I’ve taken smaller sections when available, and it often makes a world of difference) that you may like. It makes sure you really learn the material and keeps you in close collaboration with the professors even in science and math courses which are small (this is very helpful trust me). Emory has it to a fair degree, but it’s nothing like Oxford. If you do Oxford for one year, it’ll be a good experience. By the way, I think Emory may be more doable in terms of transfer because the requirements are much less stringent as we don’t care about your intended major. You just need to have 30 credit hours and over a 3.0 to be considered. However, with that said, you should shoot for Tech. Also, don’t get caught up in the idea that BME will introduce you to more aspects of the medical field (instead get caught up in the idea that it’s really good and teaches you how to approach learning with a “hands on focus”. Not necessarily medical issues, but biological issues sure). You are just likely to be introduced to stuff like that via an NBB, psyche, environmental science (or global health minor) or anthropology major here (even bio if you choose your courses right). What is cool about BME is all of the hands on applications of knowledge. I think that’s helpful. Emory fields in the sciences and those social sciences closely tied to scientific inquiry expose you to lots of issues in healthcare (you learn it, learn how to write about them). In this case, liberal arts approach kind of provides a holistic theoretical approach to exposing students (who desire a healthcare career) that is really nice. So in that sense, both the Emory approach and the Tech approach have inherent advantages. I wish we would integrate a little more of the Tech approach. However, we do “hands on” through things such as service projects and learning for certain courses. NBB also has pretty cool seminars and clinical practicums (maybe it’s practium).</p>
