U Georgia Athens ran the smoothest and most drama free admission process Iāve seen this year.
A pre announced date for instate applicants in NOV and one for OOS in DECā¦ the decisions were loaded to everyoneās portal at the same time ā¦ 3PM EST?.. and bam, it was doneā¦ no portal astrology or amateur computer hacking neededā¦ Mr. Graves maintained a blog with FAQs and answered a lot of one off qāsā¦ model program in my opinionā¦

Instate and Iām unsure of major
I heard someone explained this as an āenrollment managementā. The college release a batch of admissions and sees how many of these students actually enroll. If accepted student gets accepted to another college where they have a binding agreement (Early Decision colleges), the student must withdraw their acceptances elsewhere. So, UT releases some decisions and waits to see who possibly enrolls or who would withdraw, then they recalibrate their enrollment management modules and proceed with another batch. This does make sense from collegeās perspective.

That is what I thought was happening when UT released a small wave in December when binding EDs were out. Few outstanding kids like the valedictorian etc from our school were offered their major during that wave. They would have to withdraw their applications since they had offered But that they would have to do anyways if they EDed.
This is probably the most reasonable response that Iāve read. My DD EDāed at another school, was deferred and now UT Austin is her top choice. Makes sense.
Question for anyone who is knowledgeableā¦
Stats:
OOS
Strong GPA, with 13 APs (passing all with 4s or 5s) and 9 DC courses
Top 2% of a 500+ student class
Strong resume (with national recognition āhooksā)
But (in a very unfortunate oversight), I realized I did not officially send test scores despite having an SAT above average. It was self-reported, although that seemingly will not make a difference.
Do I still have a shot?
Thank you for your insight/advice in advance.
What school and major did you apply to? What is your GPA and how many Bās, Cās, etcā¦?
Business or Political Comms
All As, 4.0 GPA UW and 5.35/6 GPA weighted
You have a strong shot

Grades look great with your APs. IMO, McCombs is still considered a reach. Moody will be easier. It may come down to the āstoryā your application tells and your leadership/involvement.

Has anyone concluded whether or not being able to see MYClasses, My40acres, etc means anything?

Does anyone know the easiest major
Easiest in what way?
My daughter did too. Any idea how this scholarship works? She is auto admit but major decision is still in review. She is also still not sure if she will accept UT if she gets in. Does going through the interview of the Forty Acres mandate acceptance and going to UT?
No, it does not. I know someone who received the 40 acres and went to Harvard.
