We have no preference for one application over the other. Select the one that suits your application needs best.
Early Decision
If Emory University is your first choice school, you can apply under one of two Early Decision (ED) plans. You can apply ED to Emory, Oxford, or both. You can also apply ED to one and Regular Decision to the other.
Both Early Decision plans are binding, meaning that if the university admits you, and if we make the education affordable, you must pay your admission deposit and enroll.
Regular Decision
Applying Regular Decision allows you more time to make your college choice and is the traditional, nonbinding application. Applicants can apply to Emory College, Oxford College, or to both schools with one application. The majority of our applicants apply Regular Decision.
