In the late afternoon of Friday, February 18, we will be releasing the February wave of admission offers (please do not ask me what late afternoon is, as I put it as late afternoon instead of a specific time for a reason). As I stated in an earlier post, these admits, who are primarily Regular […]
Due to the severe weather issues surrounding UGA, Atlanta and the Southeast, the freshman Regular Decision application deadline and file completion deadline of January 15 has been extended to January 18 at 5 p.m. EST. Please remember that we will be flexible with materials coming from high schools, and we will keep the online school […]
I am re-posting a blog post from last August, as it is the time of year when all the questions start coming up concerning the Early Action (EA) vs Regular Decision (RD) process. So without further delay, here is an updated version of last year’s post! From now until October 15, one of the most […]
In reviewing the UGA admissions process and the information that we ask for on the application, we started looking at Part I and Part II of the application more closely.

While about 85% of UGA applicants apply before the deadline, it is that other 15%, the ones that submit right on the deadline, that at times causes me headaches. Not major migraines or anything that bad, but more of a dull ache right behind my eyes (which explains why I am seen massaging my temples […]
Since the deadline for Early Action is quickly approaching (and everyone seems to be asking the question “should I apply Early Action (EA) or Regular Decision (RD)”, we thought we would re-post this information (it is not really a sequel, but more like a directors cut with additional footage). Sorry if you have read it […]
In one scene in the movie Forrest Gump, the character Bubba Blue is sitting next to Forrest on a transport bus talking about shrimp. “Anyway, like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea.
