2016 Final Freshman Decisions are Available

Final freshman decisions are now available online.  We had a very
strong applicant pool this year! We had 23,000 applications, which
was our largest applicant pool ever.  Here are a few notes about
decisions:

• Please do not have multiple family members try to log onto the
  myStatus.  This will slow down our serves.  We suggest that only the
  student log in as multiple people logging in could lock down your
  myStatus. You can always share this information with family members
  after you see it. Remember, the myStatus page might be a little slow when it first opens due to high traffic volume-Just be patient.
• No matter what your decision is, remember that there are a number of
  college options and UGA is just one of them. An admissions decision is
  not a judgement about your worth. A majority of our applicants are
  strong, qualified applicants, but our freshman class is not big enough
  to accommodate everyone.
• When trying to comprehend your decision, please understand that our
  office is looking at your file individually, then in comparison with the
  rest of the 23,000 applicants. That is a very large, very strong
  applicant pool, and we are limited in how many students we can admit and
  enroll.
• We posted three blog posts this morning, one for each of the
  three decision possibilities, with details about each decision and links
  to FAQs.  Please review everything about a decision before commenting.
• Please remember that other students and the admissions
  representatives in our office are people too and treat everyone with
  respect.  Before hitting submit on a comment, make sure you actually
  want to post it.
• As in past years, we have admitted a small group of freshman to
  start in the Spring 2017 term. Please make sure to look at the term of
  acceptance if you are admitted. An offer of Spring will not be shifted
  to Fall or Summer, as we made a decision to admit this small group for
  Spring 2017.
• We will delete any comments that are offensive, ask for personal
  information/stats from others, or that fall into the unacceptable
  comment category (Comments that bully, intimidate, or harass any user;
  Content that is hateful or threatening.  Please see the New Visitors
  information posted on the right side of the blog).
• After decisions are out, the next steps are up to you.  Whether you
  are depositing at UGA or another school, signing up for Housing, or
  registering for Orientation.  Make sure you take care of everything you
  need to post-decision.
