<p>Interested in the answer to this question.</p>

<p>Yes… though, as you know, your test scores are on the low side. Why don’t you go ahead and apply to Emory’s Oxford college also? You have a great chance there and that’d give you a good option if other things don’t pan out.</p>

<p>My guess is your transcript and extracurriculars are fine, your SATs a little low for Emory College. If your essay (personal statement) shows off your extracurriculars, I think it’s worth a shot.
I agree with the previous poster that you should defintiely apply to Oxford College. After two years at Oxford, you will automatically continue (transfer) to Emory College.</p>
