Is today the date for OOS EA ?? Oddly, there is not much chatter on this!
It is today at 4PM EST for OOS and internationals. Good luck to all applicants
It is a little weird as usually the UGA admissions guy is so go updating his blog with current info. Good luck to everyone!
Usually the uga admissions guy is so good updating his blogā¦ good luck to everyone!
Itās mostly because of the volume of apps. They work through the in state ones, release in state decisions, and then move on to the out of state apps.

Thatās 5% higher than I was guessing. I figure my kid is in the top 30% so itās going to make that deferral sting a little more than I was expecting

Kudos to Mr. Graves blog and the whole UGA processā¦ OOS here as well and honestly , a deferral is going to be a win today.
I lived in Athens for about a year a long time agoā¦ before the school learned how to win FB gamesā¦and Iāll tell you , it is a great small townā¦ one of the few that actually preserved the shops and cafes right outside of the the campusā¦a bit like Pearl Street at CU Boulder if youāve been thereā¦ Iāve toured / walked / visited about a dozen over the years and really like Athensā¦ close enough to Atlanta, yet you feel far far away after about an hour drive east. good luck and Go DAWGSā¦

fully expecting deferral. My kidās GPA is lower than their mid 50 because they donāt give a bump for either honors or DE classes and he only had 3 APs prior to this year (this year he has 5). His SAT is in the range, but I still feel a deferral is likely.
If deferred can you submit your fall grades?
There are very detailed FAQs for applicants who received a deferral.
Yes, a deferred applicant can send in current fall semester grades.
yes, your fall semester grades can def help you if you are deferred.
and you can apply to Honors later when you have those 1st semester AP grades. thatās how how it was with my kid- she only had 3 AP grades from Junior year and got in EA but not into Honors. Later she applied to Honors with her fall grades (including more 3 AP classes( and got into Honors.

Our high school automatically sends first quarter fall grades to all schools that the student applied to. After reading these FAQs it is unclear if those are added to the applicants application. If they are not added automatically where did they go? May seem silly but I just want to make sure we do not need to send them again if a deferral happens today.
UGA is very clear on what and when they will even look at extra things that are sent over.
They have so many applicants and are very set in what they use and when to use it.
I would never assume anything landed in a studentās file and have guidance call your schoolās assigned AO and have them confirm they have updated items to use for a decision. Until I get confirmation that the updated things have ālandedā where they need to be for consideration, there is no sleep allowed. :o)

Not feeling great with 5 APās and a just slightly below mid range SAT score.
The UGA admissions blog said this about APs and rigor:
Mid 50% Admitted AP/IB/DE courses over 4 years of HS: 9-13 courses
-We determine academic rigor based on all core classes a student has taken (CP, Honors, Advanced, AP, IB, DE, etc.) over the four years of HS as compared to what is offered in the school/community, but this information is the most specific data we can give on it. This does not mean a student needed X number of AP/IB/DE courses to be admitted, as we do not base rigor on the number of these courses taken.

what state are you in?
is UGA a popular school kids from your hs apply?
looking at scattergrams should help quell any anxiety. and I use the word quell lightly because overthinking is my super power.
yes, unfortunately though our school does offer a lot of APs but they are mostly STEM classes and my son is an English/Language/Humanities guy
