Pretty sure no staggering is planned. For in state EA decisions last month, 4pm was the only time announced. Dr. Graves posted on Twitter/X that they had no glitches 2 minutes after release.

D24 not applying to UGA. However, we are In state and both of her best friends applied UGA. One was accepted the other was deferred. Both received the email at the same time last month. It was not staggered. Good luck to your kiddos!

Thoughts for UGA?
OOS private high school in the northeast
4.0 unweighted GPA (not sure UGA recalculated gpa - 4.3 maybe?)
Biology major
IB diploma candidate, 4 HLâs, 2 SLâs (most kids at our school take 3 HLâs)
APâs not offered, but took AP calc AB exam scored a 5
1480 SAT
Excellent ECâs/impactful leadership
Is it true that for EA they only evaluate GPA, test scores and course rigor? Then if deferred they take a holistic approach? Couldnât find the answer in the blog.
Thanks!

Doubtful on criteria (only looking at stats) and certainly a worthy candidate for admission. Best of luck.
That said their website doesnât show much more for anyone.
But their CDS Section C7 shows more and I know they have a blog with further info.

Youâve never gotten a B in high school and your test scores are above Georgiaâs 75%. I like your chances but you never know these days. Pls report back on your result. Good luck!

Will do, thank you!
You certainly also have a very good chance based on the #s and the International Affairs major is very well thought of - but there are lots of strong schools in the major as well - so Iâm sure youâre going to end up in a great place.
Best of luck.

With respect to the Northeast High Schools, in particular New England, my observation is that in general the NE high schools are rapidly following behind after a horrible response to Covid 19. Just horrible. New England high school have historically been rather arrogant and our Southern neighbors held their students accountable the entire time. There is a huge gap.

Who is that responding to - and how does it related to the topics?
Iâm guessing it does but Iâm not seeing the connection so hopefully you can share it.
Thanks

I was reacting to the AP discussion up above and the number of classes allowed in ME vs other areas.

No, there is a blog post that addresses how they evaluate applications. Years ago, early action was stat based. Several years ago they changed how they evaluate applications for early action. Basically there are 4 groups. There are a certain small number of kids that are admitted based on stats only. Really just the tippy top kids. Theyâre also a small number of kids who are denied based on stats only as academically non-competitive. Right below the tippy top stat base kids there are another group of kids that arenât quite as high stat, but still very strong who are reviewed holistically, and their entire file is reviewed. Then thereâs another group of kids that are still good stats but not as strong as the top two groups who are deferred to wait for fall grades. Those typically are not reviewed holistically at this time, but they are still competitive.

Test scores if you submit them. My D24 and her 2 friends all applied and was accepted EA In state, but only my daughter submitted her test scores. If that helps.
I agree, I suspect they will use the same protocol they used with In state earlier in the month. All in one dump.

UGA requires test scores (I think there was an admission cycle when they didnât for covid, but 2022 and beyond test scores are required)

Very helpful explanation of how the apps are reviewed. Just wondering with the fact that they waited the extra month to release OOS do you think they reviewed fall grades for those kids if they were received by the end of November? Thinking that could avoid a large number of deferrals for kids.
No on fall grades being reviewed during EA.
They have enough to read and are the looking for more at this round.
