To begin the application process, we strongly encourage students to first to complete and submit Emory University's Common Application Supplement. The supplement contains important information regarding application options and deadlines. Because students may apply to Emory, Oxford, or both colleges and because each offers various application plans, students must check the appropriate box on the supplement to indicate their preferences.
Submitting the supplement now allows Emory and Oxford to customize the information we send to each student. Once a student has submitted the supplement, he or she is 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 the applicant has chosen.
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 students originally apply to only Emory College or Oxford College and later decide to submit an application to the other division, an additional application fee does not have to be submitted. However, students will not be able to resubmit the Emory Supplement electronically. Students will need to send an email to admission.processing@emory.edu requesting the application be added for the additional division. Please indicate the plan the student would like to be considered for: Early Decision 1, Early Decision 2, or Regular Decision. Students may attach an updated supplement essay to the email.
Students 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. For more information, click here.
