stuck wave
#

ok but im mad tho

#

spring admit should be given a spot in fall

#

over waitlist

#

😭

#

chilly sable
#

Waitlist is kinda a joke

#

Basically a soft rejection

#

bruh

#

emory is cheaper than UCLA for me as an in-state kid

tranquil hearth
#

does emory have a little acceptance package thing

#

that they send to admitted kids

turbid schooner
#

probably a package

chilly sable

#

I don't even know

#

UCLA is just more stingy i think

#

a lot more students

#

my friend last year who went to Emory only pays $800 as a California kid

#

Did anyone else's financial aid offer not include housing cost?

gloomy wharf
#

median wren
#

How easy is it to keep a high GPA in Oxford?

#

Got a Cornell Transfer option

chilly sable
#

Those r two diff questions right

#

Or r u doing Oxford then cornell?

#

I mean small class sizes and close relationships with professors probably help

olive sonnet
#

Yeah, that's what I was thinking

rocky iron
#

save money

#

unless money isnt a factor

olive sonnet
#

Money isn't much of a factor tbh

#

Mom says Oxford/Emory is a better choice since it has much smaller class sizes and more support, and if I screw up the transfer I'm still in Emory

chilly sable
#

And then you get to meet me

Is graduating late a huge risk at Oxford Emory

chilly sable
#

stiff spindle
#

Economics

chilly sable
#

That’s spring start

stiff spindle
#

and it has 61 upvotes on a relatively quiet subreddit

#

yeah

#

thats me

chilly sable
#

OHH

#

Yeah it is

stiff spindle
#

lmao

chilly sable
#

Spring start has a good amt of flaws

#

You gotta take summer classes, have ap credits or take more classes while at Oxford

#

But kids make it work

stiff spindle
#

do you need to take college courses in the summer

chilly sable
#

You may yes

#

Bc you’re a semester behind

#

Unless you have hella ap credit

#

How difficult is it to get a 3.5+ GPA at Oxford?

valid igloo
#

Does anyone know if you can appeal financial aid. like if another school is given X amount, i can try to argue with that?

pulsar grotto
#

Idt emory does that but you can try

#

Some schools like Penn explicitly say on their website

#

I'd check their fin aid website

hearty geyser
#

Anyone know of an emory 27 groupchat

chilly sable
golden tree
#

It’s good

#

I’ve made a lot of friends and my classes are good

#

One thing I recommend is stay away from romano for Econ and hardy for QTM

#

Hardy gives wayyyy more hw than the other teachers

#

Just let me know if you need any info about ox

gloomy wharf

#

Do freshman usually take bio at Oxford?

#

Also, is Oxford/Emory worth it over UCSD for Biology if both are close in cost?

McGehee for anything she’s a saint

#

Don’t take nkomo for chem

#

Don’t take Romano for Econ

#

Take Dixon or riner for qtm

#

If Davis is teaching for Spanish, take her

#

Take ox studies

#

Take classes that interest you but also figure out those which fulfill your gen Eds quickly

#

(This is all for Oxford btw)

#

yall does anyone else's portal not let them change their email

#

ive tried like 3 times and i get the verification and everything it just keeps going back to my school email

#

@golden tree is GPA inflated? also, hows premed preparation, like is it so stressful to maintain grades that you dont have time for clinicals and stuff. thats the problem i had with cornell, i would be put in a worse position for med school apps going there than if i stayed at my state school
