A typical Oxford freshman class in recent past years has about 490 enrolled. In the past 2 years, Oxford has had a big new science building with lots more classroom and lab space, hired more professors especially in STEM and a new dining hall. Hopefully, that’ll help with the additional 47 or so students.

For the class starting 2015,
Emory College’s interquartile range for the ACT was 30-34.

I’m not comparing SAT scores because there’s been a new SAT implemented since then.
But at least for admitted students, the ACT scores for the incoming Oxford freshman class are much higher than for 2015 and even higher than Emory College’s incoming class for 2015. This tells me that Oxford has been experiencing a higher quality applicant pool, which may have led to more being admitted.
