You’re a senior, it’s been a while since you submitted your apps, and you’re getting antsy while you’re waiting. That is totally normal. UGA is certainly a possibility, but I wouldn’t say you’re a shoo-in. Do you have any affordable acceptances already or are there schools that you applied to that you are extremely likely to be admitted to? If you didn’t apply to any sure things, that is the only step I would consider taking at this time.
