2026 Wait List Update #3

We would like to provide a comprehensive update on the wait list activity for Emory College and Oxford College of Emory University. 

Emory College (Atlanta)

As of May 28, 2026, the enrolling class at Emory College remains nicely above our enrollment target, as planned, and we are pleased to report that the first round of wait list activity has come in on target. Overall, the university remains in a strong enrollment position as we continue to watch the final incoming class. Based on current enrollment projections, Emory College anticipates moving forward with a very limited additional round of wait list activity seeking approximately 30 students. Students who remain on the wait list should continue to monitor their email regularly, as all communication regarding wait list activity will be sent directly via email. We also encourage students to ensure that their contact information remains accurate and current in their applicant portal.

Oxford College: On-Campus Start

Oxford College continues to track above its enrollment target, and we are pleased to share that the first wave of wait list activity has also come in on target. At this time, Oxford College remains in a strong enrollment position while continuing to monitor enrollment activity in the coming weeks. Based on current enrollment projections, Oxford College does not anticipate making additional wait list offers at this time and will pause action for now. Students who remain on the wait list should continue monitoring their email regularly should circumstances change.

Oxford Launch: London

Oxford Launch: London continues to generate strong interest, and the university is pleased with the overall response and enrollment activity for the program. At this time, Oxford Launch: London is expected to hold steady and does not anticipate extending additional offers of admission. Students who wish to remain under consideration should continue monitoring their email closely and ensure that their contact information is accurate and up to date should any changes occur.

General Wait list Information

Emory University intends to hold on to the wait list at least through the month of June, which is consistent with previous admission cycles. This allows us to monitor the composition of the entering class and respond to any fluctuations that may occur. Notably, June 1, 2026, is the deadline for gap year requests from enrolling students, and maintaining an active wait list ensures we are prepared to accommodate any resulting changes.

As always, wait list activity remains case-by-case and based on space availability. We encourage students to continue checking their email regularly and to ensure their contact information is accurate. Should a student receive an offer, a prompt response will facilitate timely decision-making for all involved.

Thank you again for your continued interest in Emory University.
