US News and World Report publishes educational rankings each year. They divide the top schools into two groups: universities and liberal arts colleges. What they really mean are liberal arts colleges attached to major universities (e.g. Emory College of Emory University) and un-attached liberal arts colleges (e.g. Pomona College).

Don’t stress about it (and don’t take US News rankings too seriously either).

If you are applying to both Emory and Oxford, I think you should have some leeway with the word limit - as long as the complete essay will upload.
