I don’t believe Oxford/Emory and BU/CGS are comparable in that many choose to matriculate at Oxford and CGS at BU is admission of last resort. The test scores and grades of Oxford admits is pretty similar to those who are admitted to Emory College of Arts & Sciences in Atlanta. Oxford is different in that some prefer to be in a more rural intimate environment with smaller class sizes their first two years at Emory. The drawbacks of Oxford are that it is not in Atlanta and there can be problems for some in integrating into Emory their junior years and this is more social than academic. For CGS at BU, that is not an issue, but the academic program itself might be. These are two different animals.
