Early Decision
If Emory is your first-choice school, apply through one of two Early Decision (ED) plans to Emory College, Oxford College, or both. You may also apply ED to one and Regular Decision to the other. Both ED plans are binding: 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 a traditional, non-binding application. Applicants can apply to Emory College, Oxford College, or both with one application. The majority of our applicants apply through Regular Decision.
