Note that I think there is anecdotal evidence that students on both campuses were more fearless academically “back in the day” which is sad, because on paper, they are both more selective today, as I stumbled across an old Oxford College course catalog. I know both suffered with these options post recession (Emory had honors courses at the lower division, intermediate, and even advanced in some depts as well as more experiential credit bearing opps including project labs and community based/TPB learning), but I think that Oxford also has dealt with lots of enrollment growth which naturally puts stress on the curriculum. This has happened at the Atlanta campus as well, but you still must offer key electives and upper divisions even under stress as people must actually major. In tough times, Oxford probably scaled back even further and focused efforts on the intro. courses which will impact the largest portion of the student body. Not much room to entertain those who not only have AP/IB for everything plus even more forms of talent, but actually want to use them. Main always has more wiggle room.
