Since 2002, there has been one constant in my household; From January through March, two nights a week, my family will be watching American Idol while I read admissions files. The judges have changed, the contestants are younger, there are more Ford commercials than ever, but my family is still watching. When I take a […]
Later this month, we will be releasing acceptance letters for a small group of freshman applicants. These admits, who are primarily Regular Decision (RD) applicants, are students who meet the criteria that UGA admissions used for Early Action (EA) admits. Just to stop any questions, there are no set “EA critieria levels”, as it is […]
In order to help out with the freshman application process, Morgan in our office has created this video to walk students through the steps to apply to UGA. I hope you enjoy this, and thanks to Morgan and Milly (the voice behind it all!).
Many of you might not know this, but the UGA Admissions Office has two people based in the Buckhead area of Atlanta.

As I said in an earlier post, there will be a few changes to the Freshman application this year. I will give you more information later this week on the other changes, but I want to go step by step on each to make sure everyone is comfortable with understanding the changes. Starting with the […]
For the last four years, the senior admissions people from all 12 of the SEC universities have gathered together to talk about admissions policies, recruiting, best policies in higher education, and other topics related to student enrollment. This year, we are lucky enough to be visiting the University of Alabama, and they have been a […]
Due to an elementary school chicken dinner late this afternoon (“winner, winner chicken dinner” as my co-worker and friend Charlie would say) and a furlough day tomorrow, I will not be back in the office until Monday. As such, I will not have any new information on deposits, transfer decisions, wait-list questions, or if a […]
For those of you who have been admitted to UGA, here is a post for you, and a chance to comment. Congratulations to all of the freshman who were admitted to UGA, and we look forward to you becoming a part of the Bulldog Nation. The next steps for a new student can be seen […]
