<p>I am a black guy from Miami, Florida and I’m going to be a high school senior this fall and I’m thinking about applying to the University of Georgia and I was wondering if being a minority from Florida would make it easier for me to be admitted. I checked on College ******* to expose their students to different groups of people. So that should give me some sort of an edge right?</p>
<p>No. Being out of state trumps being a minority, and being out of state lessens your chances.</p>
<p>Once again, the wonderful world of bad information appears! At UGA, there is no difference in the review process for OOS students, for race/ethnicity, for gender, for legacy, or for major. Admission depends upon what you are like compared to the other applicants, but not using the factors listed above. Go to the UGA website to get the details, and look at [University</a> of Georgia :: Undergraduate Admissions :: Top Ten Uga Admissions Urban Legends](<a href=“http://www.admissions.uga.edu/article/top_ten_uga_admissions_urban_legends.html]University”>http://www.admissions.uga.edu/article/top_ten_uga_admissions_urban_legends.html) .</p>
