DS applied EA but not expecting him to get in early. It’s his first choice but he’s on the bubble for OOS admissions so hoping regular decision comes through.

DD applied back in September, but likely a long shot.

OOS (Georgia)

Test optional

3.75

Positives is she is a 3-sport athlete and strong ECs and part time job.

Fingers crossed but we’d be happy with a defer from early to keep the chance alive.

If the 3.75 is unweighted, she has a chance. Last year about half submitted tests, but about 40% of students had less than a 3.75.

Good luck to her.
