Common Application
We are pleased you are interested in applying to Emory University, and we welcome your application to one or both of our freshman admitting divisions: Emory College and Oxford College.
To begin the application process, we strongly encourage you first to complete and submit Emory University's Common Application Supplement. The supplement contains important information regarding application options and deadlines. Because you may apply to one or both colleges and because each offers various application plans, you must check the appropriate box on the supplement to indicate your preferences.
Submitting the supplement now allows Emory and Oxford to customize the information we send to you. Once you have submitted the supplement, you are ready to begin the Common Application which should be completed and submitted as soon as possible but no later than the deadline of the earliest application plan you have chosen.
If you submit your Common Application online, please submit your transcripts and recommendations online, if possible, or mail all such items in one package to the Office of Admission. If you are applying to Emory College, Oxford College, or both, you need only submit supporting documents once to our joint address below:

Fees and Important Details
Emory University exclusively uses the Common Application. Whether applying to Emory College, Oxford College or both, a student starts the application process by searching for "Emory University" at www.commonapp.org. The University's Common Application supplement then allows an applicant to select an admission plan for one or both of the colleges.
A student may apply online to both Emory College and Oxford College, with one application and one $50 application fee.
A student's application will not be complete and will not be reviewed until the Common Application and Common Application Supplement have been submitted.
The Common Application supplement will be the form of record regarding a student's application plan; if a student notes a different plan on the general Common Application, the plan selected on the supplement will determine how the file is considered.
If a student is applying to both Emory College and Oxford College and the deadline dates are different, the earlier deadline date will apply to both divisions.
If you are applying to Emory College, Oxford College, or both, you need only submit supporting documents once to our joint address.
Students who apply to both Oxford College and Emory College will have their application reviewed independently and will receive an independent decision from each school.
If you originally apply to only Emory College or Oxford College and later decide that you would like to be considered for admission to the other division as well, you will need to send an email to admiss@emory.edu requesting your application be added for the additional division. In your email please be detailed about the application plan you would like to be considered for: Early Decision 1, Early Decision 2, or Regular Decision. No additional application materials are necessary and an additional application fee also does not need to be submitted. You will not be able to resubmit the Emory Supplement electronically, so if you choose you may attach an updated supplement essay to your email. Our office needs to receive your request by the application deadline.
You can apply Early Decision to both Emory College and Oxford College, and if you are accepted to both schools, you will have until the deposit date to choose which campus would be the best fit.
