With the Early Action deadline passing, here are a few updates about the process: Total EA Applications (10.5% increase over last year): 13,291 Complete Early Action Applications: 9,950 # of EA Applicants Applying within 3 days of Deadline: 3,523 As you can see, a large number (roughly 75%) of the Early Action applications are complete.

The Early Action deadline is almost here, and the two weeks surrounding the deadline are similar to Atlanta during 5:00 p.m. rush hour traffic (on a Friday). Our office typically receives 4,000+ applications, a drastic increase in mail, and a great deal of emails and phone calls in the few days both before and after […]
In the UGA Admissions Office, there are some things we will never say no matter what. Some people will ask questions hoping for one of these answers, but you will not hear us give an answer (at least not the one some people expect). I sometimes feel like Dr. Seuss in “Green Eggs and Ham”, […]
There are two times every year when admissions myths hit peak numbers in the rumor mill; During August/September when a large number of seniors start planning out their college applications, and in late March when final freshman admission decisions are released. I remember receiving a number of communications from one denied applicant who was sure […]
It’s mid summer, and questions are beginning to flood in about UGA’s First Year admission process. Here are answers to some of our more frequently asked ones. I plan to apply Early Action.

We will be sending out an email later today to First Year applicants with incomplete files. If you receive this email, please log in to your myStatus to see what you are missing, and then take care of the issue ASAP. Remember, we are going to accept the January SAT and you do not need […]
We are just over one week from the Regular Decision deadline today, and I am guessing that thousands of students are finishing up the final pieces of the application. As you can see from the last few winter weather days, you never know when something odd might cause a delay in taking care of your […]
The Early Action deadline is approaching, so here are a few suggestions as we approach the deadline: Don’t wait until the last minute. Even though the deadline is October 15, you should not wait until the last minute to submit your application. We do not hold it against you if you wait until 11:59PM on […]
UGA once again attracted an exceptionally strong applicant pool this year. Competition for admission was stronger than ever. Our 21,000 applications were a significant increase over last year, but it was unfortunately not balanced with an equivalent increase in the number of possible spaces for enrolled freshmen, around 5,200.
